By Alicia Mainka March 2, 2025
Have you ever experienced a loss that no one seemed to recognize? In rural Mississippi, many struggle with disenfranchised grief. These are losses that go unacknowledged by society, leaving individuals feeling isolated and unsupported. This article explores the hidden impact of unvalidated grief, the cultural and social barriers that make it harder to navigate, and practical ways to find healing. Learn how to recognize this silent pain and take steps toward recovery, even when others don’t see your sorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the benefits of teletherapy?

    Teletherapy offers a lot of benefits, especially if you have a busy schedule or prefer the comfort of your own space. It is convenient because you do not have to worry about commuting or finding extra time in your day. Sessions can be done from anywhere in Mississippi or Louisiana, whether you are at home, at work, or traveling. I use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform to protect your privacy, so you can feel safe knowing our conversations are confidential. Teletherapy also makes it easier to stay consistent with your sessions, which is key to making real progress.

  • How do I know if therapy is right for me?

    If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or unsure about your next steps, therapy can help. You don’t have to be in a crisis to benefit from it. Sometimes, you just need a space to sort through your thoughts, gain clarity, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels right for you. If you’re even considering therapy, that’s a sign it could be a good step.

  • What can I expect in the first session?

    The first session is really just a conversation. You’ll share what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of it, and any concerns or questions you have. I’ll listen, offer some initial thoughts, and together we’ll start creating a plan. There’s no pressure and no expectations, just a space where you can feel heard and supported.

  • How long does therapy take?

    It depends on what you need. Some people start feeling better after a few sessions, while others benefit from longer support. We usually begin with weekly sessions and adjust as we go. My goal isn’t to keep you in therapy forever. It’s to give you the tools and confidence to navigate life on your own terms.

  • What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

    Not every therapist is the right fit for every person, and that’s okay. If past therapy didn’t help, we can talk about what didn’t work and try a different approach. I focus on making therapy feel useful, collaborative, and tailored to you. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll even help you find someone who is. You deserve support that actually helps.

  • Will therapy actually change my life?

    Therapy itself doesn’t change your life, but it gives you the support and tools to make those changes yourself. It helps you understand yourself better, break unhealthy patterns, improve your relationships, and make decisions that align with who you want to be. The real change happens when you take what we talk about and apply it to your life.

  • I want to start therapy, but I’m afraid of what I might uncover. What if it’s too much?

    That fear makes a lot of sense. Facing difficult emotions can feel overwhelming, but avoiding them doesn’t make them go away. We’ll go at a pace that feels safe for you. You’re always in control of what we talk about, and I’ll be there to help you navigate the hard stuff so it doesn’t feel so heavy. Healing happens when you have the right support.

  • What types of issues do you specialize in?

    I specialize in therapy for grief and bereavement, major life transitions, relationship issues, and self-esteem challenges, primarily with adults 18 and older.

  • How much do your sessions cost?

    The initial intake session costs $175, and each session after that is $150.
