Inclusive grief therapy for BIPOC, queer, transgender,

Where Diaspora, Identity, and Grief Intersect

Online grief counseling that honors the full weight of your experience.

For those whose grief lives at the intersection of diaspora, queerness, displacement, and intergenerational memory. We understand that mourning is shaped by culture, language, migration, and the systems that may have asked you to hold your pain in silence. In this space, grief is not a disorder to be treated but a process to be witnessed, held with care, context, and cultural responsiveness. Whether your loss is rooted in family rupture, identity shifts, ancestral disconnection, or the quiet ache of being misnamed by the world, your grief belongs here.

Holding Grief in a World That Doesn’t Always Make Room for It

Grief is not a linear process.

Culture, identity, migration, loss, and intergenerational trauma all shape how we mourn, remember, and rebuild. Yet too often, grief especially in marginalized communities is silenced, rushed, or pathologized.

Grief isn’t something you complete. It moves through language, body, time, and sometimes disappears just long enough for you to think you’ve outlived it until a smell, a season, a sound returns you to the moment everything changed.

For many of us, grief may not just about one moment or one person, it could be the ache of disconnection, of carrying stories that were never told, of trying to hold onto people, places, or versions of ourselves that no longer exist in the same form. It can live in the silence between generations, in the shape of migration, in the tension between who we are and who we were allowed to be.

Here, you don’t have to explain why your grief still lingers. You don’t have to put it into a timeline or have the ‘correct’ language or words to explain it.

There is room here for the grief that is loud and the grief that is quiet. For the grief that hasn’t been named yet. For the kind that comes back years later and asks to be felt all over again…

Who We Have Experience Working With

Our clinicians have supported people grieving:

・ The death of a loved one, whether sudden or long-anticipated
・ Cultural displacement, migration, and loss of homeland
・ Shifts in identity, faith, or family role
・ Estrangement, rejection, or silence from caregivers and communities
・ The death of a dream, relationship, or version of self
・ Intergenerational grief, inherited through stories untold

Our care honors the complexity of your experience and offers space for grief that is often overlooked or unnamed.
