Healing After a Breakup
Therapy for Grieving, Growth, & Moving Forward After a Breakup
Breakups can be disorienting. Whether it happened yesterday or months ago, the emotional impact can be overwhelming. You might feel like your world has shifted overnight, or you may find yourself revisiting old conversations, memories, or ‘what ifs.’ Some days you might feel clear and strong, and others you might feel like you’re back at square one. Both experiences are normal—and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
Post-breakup therapy offers a space to make sense of your experience, feel the full range of emotions that arise, and reconnect with yourself in the aftermath of a breakup.
Whether you were dating casually, navigating a situationship, in a long-term relationship, or ending a marriage, your heartbreak deserves care. As a breakup therapist, I support people in all stages of breakup healing—whether you’re in the immediate shock and overwhelm of a fresh ending or struggling with pain that feels like it won’t quite let go. Together, we’ll honor where you are and work toward healing, integration, and new possibilities.
How Post-Breakup Therapy Can Help
In post-breakup therapy, I create a supportive space for you to:
- Process grief, heartbreak, anger, relief, fear, and the messy mix of emotions that come with endings
- Organize thoughts and feelings when they feel tangled or overwhelming
- Honor your unique pace—whether it’s been days, weeks, or years since the breakup
- Explore patterns from the relationship and understand how past experiences may have shaped them
- Rebuild self-trust and cultivate your resilience
- Reconnect with your sense of self
- Integrate what the relationship taught you about yourself, your needs, and your values
- Make space for future relationships and desires, when you feel ready
There is no timeline for healing. Post-breakup therapy supports you in your process—helping you move forward with more clarity, self-compassion, and steadiness.
My Approach to Post-Breakup Therapy
Heartbreak is more than sadness—it can feel like your identity, future, and sense of safety have been pulled out from under you. Breakups can open old wounds, bring up attachment patterns, and leave you questioning your sense of self and belonging. Therapy creates space to explore these tender places without judgment or urgency.
Many clients tell me that post-breakup therapy helped them feel less alone, less stuck in self-blame, and more able to see the breakup as part of their growth—not just a painful ending. In our work, we’ll honor the heartbreak and explore the insights it offers—allowing you to move forward in a way that feels grounded and true to you.
