Grief Counseling with Alicia Gostylo, LPC

I wholeheartedly believe that grief is not a problem to be solved. Grief is a normal and natural response to both death and non-death losses. For many, losing an attachment figure is one of the most painful human experiences. Grieving is the process of adjusting to this loss, and I believe that each of us has the ability to adapt, even if we may feel stuck at times. As a compassionate guide, I aim to provide grief support, helping you learn more skilled responses to suffering during grieving.

Some of these skills include grief psychoeducation, continuing bonds, distress tolerance, spiritual integration, meaning-making, mindfulness, emotion regulation, parts work, and interpersonal effectiveness. 

As Alicia Gostylo, I have extensive training in bereavement therapy and grief support, having worked in a non-profit grief center where I supported individuals and families through bereavement. Currently, I assist clients navigating a wide range of losses, providing culturally responsive care to diverse populations.

My specialties include ambiguous loss, where the loss is unclear and lacks closure; complex grief support for those dealing with loss associated with early childhood attachment wounds; disenfranchised loss, where the loss is not openly acknowledged; prolonged grief disorder, where grief feels “stuck”; and traumatic loss, which involves sudden, violent, or unexpected loss.
