Grief Is Not a Problem to Solve. It’s an Experience to Be Held.

Grief is not just sadness. It changes how you sleep, how you think, how you function, and how you see the future. It can arrive immediately or emerge months later without warning. And it comes from many kinds of loss — not just death.

At Darin King Counseling, our grief therapists understand that grief is not something to be gotten over on a timeline. It is a deeply human experience that deserves compassionate, specialized support. We work with all forms of loss, all timelines, and all the complicated emotions — including anger, relief, numbness, and guilt — that grief often brings.

  • The loss feels unbearable — or alternately, you feel nothing and wonder if something is wrong with you
  • Grief that isn’t following any predictable pattern or getting better with time
  • Complicated grief — feeling stuck, unable to accept the loss, or unable to move forward
  • Loss that came suddenly, traumatically, or under circumstances that left things unresolved
  • Grief that others don’t recognize or validate — relationship loss, pet loss, pregnancy loss
  • The weight of grief affecting your work, relationships, and ability to function
“Grief doesn’t have a timeline, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. There is no wrong way to grieve — only ways that need more support.”

  • Complicated and prolonged grief disorder
  • Anticipatory grief for those facing terminal illness

  • Available to all Pennsylvania residents via secure telehealth

Evidence-Based Approaches

Grief Treatment Approaches

We draw from multiple evidence-based modalities tailored to your specific loss and needs.

Evidence-Based

Complicated Grief Treatment (CGT)

CGT is specifically designed for prolonged or complicated grief that isn’t resolving naturally — using evidence-based exposure and cognitive techniques to help process the loss and re-engage with life.

Compassionate

Person-Centered Grief Therapy

Meeting you exactly where you are — without imposing timelines or stages. We follow your experience rather than a predetermined model of how grief should progress.

Our Specialty

Trauma-Informed Grief Care

When loss is sudden, traumatic, or accompanied by trauma — accident, suicide, violence, overdose, sudden cardiac death — a trauma-informed approach addresses both the grief and the trauma together.

Integration

Meaning-Making & Continuing Bonds

Helping you find a way to integrate the loss — carrying the person or relationship forward while building a life that can hold both the grief and the future. Not moving on, but moving forward.
