Dallas grief counseling for adults, teens, and children

Grief can touch every part of life—your emotions, energy, focus, relationships, and sense of direction. Whether your loss is recent or something you’ve carried for years, it can feel overwhelming, isolating, and hard to put into words.

In therapy, you’ll have a steady, supportive space to process what you’re going through at your own pace. We’ll help you understand your grief, navigate difficult emotions, and find ways to move forward—without pressure to “get over it.”

The care you need for grief—your way

There’s no single “right” way to grieve. Counseling can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and find steadier ground again, one step at a time.

  • Support that meets you where you are

    Grief looks different for everyone. We take time to understand your loss, your story, and what support would actually feel helpful right now.

  • Space to process, without pressure

    You don’t need to have the “right words.” We’ll help you work through emotions like sadness, anger, guilt, or confusion—at your pace.

  • Tools for day-to-day life

    Learn practical ways to cope with waves of grief, manage triggers, and get through the moments that feel hardest—at home, at work, or in relationships.

  • Support that fits your lifestyle

    Choose online or in-person care with scheduling options that make it easier to stay consistent, even during a difficult season.

In-person or online grief counseling across DFW

Get support where you feel most comfortable—telehealth from home or in one of our North Dallas offices. If leaving the house feels like too much right now, online sessions can still offer real connection and meaningful progress.

However you choose to meet, you’ll receive thoughtful, compassionate care focused on helping you feel supported and less alone.

  • Katrina J.

    I’ve never seen this before – they’re so thorough instead of using a “one size fits all” approach and putting you with someone random. I’m so glad I found this practice! 10/10 would recommend.

  • Isabella G.

    I am so glad I found GearingUP! Counseling here is much more than talking or venting. There is a comprehensive program with specific strategies to help – not only with what is going in now, but also any future issues that may arise. It's a full toolbox for finding joy!

  • Robert H.

    This place has been my saving grace. People here do not judge you. They welcome you with open arms, and I've never felt so understood and comforted anywhere else!

  • Priya W.

    Our family has been using random therapists for the last 7 years. We found GearingUP 2 years ago, and we have seen more progress here than anywhere else. Not only due to the excellent therapists, but also the extensive and accurate testing as well as careful matching between patient and therapist.

  • Beth K.

    GearingUP therapy has been the first in 30 years that has made me feel alive, learn to love my life, and be mindful. Love it. Dr. Sylvia and June are amazing people and therapists. This therapy will allow you to live again.

  • Matthew M.

    I have never felt more empowered and in control of my life. I have all the tools I need to relax when I'm anxious and focus on the present moment. The staff are also very friendly and always willing to help.

    GearingUP has greatly improved my personal life, helped me deal with anxiety and depression, and helped my marital issues. I can't recommend them enough!

  • Claude R.

    I cannot say enough about my experience here. I was taught how to think better about myself, speak nicer to myself, process my thoughts more clearly, and manage my days to their fullest. I regained control of my life, and now I feel whole again. GearingUP allowed me the opportunity to get my…

Common questions about grief counseling in Dallas

If you’re considering support, it’s normal to have questions—especially when you’re already carrying a lot. Here are a few of the most common things we’re asked.

We’re in-network with many major plans, and many clients pay an average copay of $25. If you’d rather not use insurance—or if you’re out of network—we can also talk through sliding scale and self-pay options.

No referral is needed. You can book directly, and we’ll guide you through the next steps.

Your first session is a supportive conversation. You can share as much or as little as you’re ready to. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what you want help with, and what support could look like moving forward.

Yes. Many people choose telehealth because it’s private and convenient—especially when grief makes it hard to get out the door. You can also choose in-person sessions if that feels better.

We offer appointment times designed to fit real life. Availability can vary by clinician and location, and we’ll help you find an option that works for your schedule.

You’re not stuck. If you’d like to try a different clinician, you can switch to another GearingUP therapist easily—at no additional cost.
