BREAKUP RECOVERY THERAPY
Close the book on this chapter, take the time you need to heal, and find your way to what's next. Online breakup therapy for adults in Cambridge, Lexington & across Massachusetts.
You thought you were building a future together. Now, suddenly, it's gone.
Your friends and family mean well. They've said "you're better off" and "their loss" and all the things you're supposed to hear, and you love them for trying. But the pep talks can only carry you so far.
You might still be showing up to work, still answering texts, because you don't want your pain to become someone else's problem. So you go through the motions and act like you're fine, even though you're absolutely not.
There's a weight sitting in your chest that doesn't lift no matter how much time passes. Sleep, appetite, focus, all of it feels harder than it should. You reach for your phone to text the person who used to be your person, and remember you can't.
Maybe:
You're still trying to piece together what happened.
You miss them, even though you're hurt, even though you know it wasn't right.
You keep checking their social media.
You dread the idea of dating again.
Letting go completely feels impossible.
My Approach
This is genuinely hard, and you don't have to move through it on anyone else's timeline.
Grieving a relationship isn't something you push through by staying busy or "getting over it." It takes real space, to feel what you're feeling, to say the things you haven't said out loud yet, to be angry or sad or confused without being rushed past any of it.
Using psychodynamic insight, we'll look at what this relationship meant to you and what its ending is bringing up, then start turning toward what comes next. That means understanding the patterns that may have shaped this relationship, so you can walk away with real clarity, not just distance from the pain.
You deserve the same care and compassion you'd offer someone you love. My job is to help you find your way back to yourself.

It depends on the relationship, how long you were together, and how much of your life was built around this person. There's no set timeline for grieving a relationship, and I won't hold you to one. We'll move at your pace, with gentle support to help you face what needs facing.
