Grief and Loss Counseling in Bozeman, Montana

Compassionate Therapy for Navigating Loss…

Grief is a universal part of the human experience. Whether it stems from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of health or identity, or even a dream that no longer fits—loss changes us. At Sub Rosa Therapy, we recognize that grief is not just emotional, but also physical, relational, and spiritual.

It lives in the body, not just the mind, and often reshapes our sense of self.

Our mental health therapists offer compassionate, trauma-informed grief counseling to support you through the nonlinear process of mourning. We integrate somatic therapy, psychedelic integration, and depth-oriented talk therapy to help you process loss and reconnect with deeper meaning.

Why Grief Therapy Matters

Grieving doesn't follow a timeline. It isn’t something to "get over." Whether your loss is fresh or long past, named or unnamed, we provide mental-health centered grief therapy that meets you where you are.

Through grief counseling at Sub Rosa Therapy, you can:

  • Name and process your grief at your own pace

  • Work with physical and emotional symptoms of grief

  • Explore the spiritual and existential questions that arise through loss

  • Reconnect with your values, relationships, and identity

  • Begin to make meaning, even when life feels disoriented or uncertain.

We offer both short-term grief support and long-term therapy depending on your needs and goals.

Types of Grief We Work With at Sub Rosa

Grief doesn’t follow a timeline or a script. You may feel overwhelmed, numb, angry, heartbroken, or strangely functional. You may grieve years after a loss, or carry grief from something society never recognized—a miscarriage, a breakup, a lost future.

At Sub Rosa, our mental health therapists hold space for all forms of grief, including:

  • Sudden or traumatic loss

  • Ambiguous or disenfranchised grief

  • Complicated or prolonged grief

  • Grief tied to early attachment wounds

  • Existential or spiritual grief

  • Collective and ecological grief

We understand that grief can feel like losing yourself—your orientation to the world, your place in it, and your ability to feel like yourself again.

“Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.”
– Joan Didion, The Year of Magical Thinking

A Somatic Approach to Grief Counseling

Grief is more than an emotional process—it is deeply embodied. Somatic mental health therapists use modalities like Somatic Experiencing (SE) to help you safely engage with the physiological experience of grief.

Somatic grief therapy can help you:

  • Reconnect with your body and emotions in manageable ways

  • Release trauma and tension stored in your nervous system

  • Access grounding and spaciousness in the midst of sorrow

  • Build capacity to tolerate complex emotional states

By including the body in the healing process, our grief therapy creates a deeper path to integration and restoration.

When to Seek Support from a Grief Therapist

We encourage you to seek support if you or someone you love is:

  • Feeling emotionally stuck or shut down

  • Experiencing persistent depression or anxiety

  • Avoiding daily tasks, work, or social connection

  • Turning to substances or risky behaviors to cope

  • Grieving a loss society hasn't recognized or honored

  • Navigating a loss during a life transition such as postpartum, aging, or illness

Is Ketamine or Spravato-Assisted Therapy Right for You?

For some clients, grief is accompanied by treatment-resistant depression, trauma, or a sense of being profoundly stuck. In these cases, Spravato or ketamine-assisted therapy may help catalyze healing. These treatments are offered at Sub Rosa Therapy under medical supervision and in conjunction with integrative psychotherapy with a trusted therapist.
