Grief Therapy

Marisol Achirica is an English-speaking psychotherapist in Mérida, Yucatán, with 25+ years of experience and 70 five-star Google reviews. She accompanies people through grief and loss, both in person in Mérida and online via Zoom.

Grief isn’t only about death. It can also come from a divorce, the end of a relationship, leaving your country, or losing a chapter of life that shaped who you are. There’s no schedule you’re supposed to keep, and no “over it” you owe anyone. Therapy gives grief the room and the time it needs.

How Grief Can Feel

Everyone grieves differently. These are some of the common ways it shows up:

How We Work With Grief

My approach is gentle and humanistic, with a psychodynamic depth. Grief is processed, not “fixed.” We move at your pace, and I make room for everything you feel, including the parts that catch you off guard. Healing here isn’t about forgetting. It’s about finding a way to live alongside the absence.

Many of the people I see are grieving far from family and home, in a country that isn’t the one they grew up in. Mourning without your usual people around you carries a particular weight. That is something we hold together, at whatever pace feels right for you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about grief

Grief therapy gives you a steady, private space to feel and make sense of a loss without rushing it. We work in weekly sessions. I help you move through the heaviest moments, understand what the loss means to you, and slowly rebuild a sense of meaning. There’s no single formula. I adapt the process to you.
No. Grief doesn’t follow neat stages or a fixed order, and it can arrive in waves long after others expect you to “move on.” Whatever you feel, including anger, relief, or numbness, is part of it. Therapy gives you room for all of it, without judgment.
Grief has no fixed deadline. It softens and changes over time rather than disappearing on a set date, and the pace is different for everyone. With support, the sharpest pain usually eases, and you find ways to carry the loss alongside a life that feels livable again.
Yes. Grief isn’t only about death. The end of a marriage, a breakup, leaving your country, or losing a chapter of life can bring real mourning. These losses deserve the same care, and therapy can help you grieve them and find your way forward.
Yes. I work in both English and Spanish, with in-person sessions in Mérida, Yucatán, and online sessions via Zoom anywhere in the world. Online grief therapy works with the same depth and warmth as meeting in person.
