Therapy for Grief in New York
Psychotherapy for children, teenagers, and emerging adults grieving the loss of a loved one— whether the loss was recent or long ago, sudden or expected.
Grief is amongst the most universal human experiences, and yet can feel incredibly lonely and isolating. Dr. Prodromakis works with children, teenagers, and emerging adults who are grieving the loss of a loved one — whether the loss happened recently or long ago, was sudden or expected. Her approach is rooted in the idea that grief is a healthy process that, although painful, is adaptive to feel and experience within a safe relationship. Sessions may focus on:
Speaking of and remembering your loved one
Developing healthy ways to stay connected to your loved one's memory while moving forward
Establishing coping and nervous system regulation strategies
Coping with anniversaries, holidays, and other grief triggers
Processing the emotional impact of your loss in a supportive, nonjudgmental space
Managing times of transition and change
Understanding the many ways grief can show up emotionally, physically, and cognitively
Reconnecting with meaning, purpose, and hope at your own pace

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. There is no timeline or correct way to experience grief. Every person's relationship with their loved one is unique, and so is their grieving process. Therapy honors your individual experience and supports you in making sense of your loss at your own pace.
-
Absolutely. Grief can affect emotional, physical, and behavioral functioning. Children and teens may become more anxious, irritable, withdrawn, or have difficulty at school or with peers — often as part of adapting to a significant loss rather than a sign that something is "wrong."
-
Yes. Grief does not follow a schedule. Even losses that occurred many years ago can continue to impact emotions, relationships, identity, and daily life. Therapy provides an opportunity to revisit and process grief whenever you feel ready.
-
There is no predetermined timeline. Some clients benefit from short-term support following a recent loss, while others choose ongoing therapy as they navigate different stages of grief and life transitions. The pace and duration of therapy are guided by your individual needs.
