When a workplace experiences the death of an employee or a collective loss, it impacts every layer of the organization. At Got Grief STL Therapy, we specialize in helping companies navigate grief in the workplace with trauma-informed, expert-led services. We provide immediate and ongoing grief support for employees, leaders, and teams, helping organizations foster healing, emotional well-being, and resilience during difficult times.
Our grief group sessions for staff are 60 to 90 minutes in length and facilitated by licensed grief therapists. These sessions offer employees a safe, supportive space to share memories, express their grief, and receive validation for their emotions. We incorporate psychoeducation on grief responses, normalize the range of feelings staff may be experiencing, and guide the group through grounding activities to restore emotional balance. These sessions can be held on-site or virtually, depending on your company’s needs.
When a company experiences a sudden or traumatic loss—such as the unexpected death of an employee or workplace violence—our Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM)-informed grief debriefings provide immediate emotional first aid. These structured 75–90 minute sessions follow an evidence-based framework and include a warm welcome, psychoeducation about trauma and grief responses, space for emotional processing, and therapeutic grounding strategies to reduce shock, numbness, and dissociation. These sessions are ideal within 72 hours of a loss but can be offered anytime.
Leadership sets the tone for how a company responds to grief. Our 60-minute consultations with managers and supervisors help guide your leadership team through sensitive and effective communication following a loss. We provide expert insight on supporting grieving employees, handling return-to-work conversations, honoring the deceased appropriately, and responding to workplace emotions with empathy and professionalism.
We offer individual grief counseling sessions to support employees who may be struggling privately with the loss. These sessions are provided by licensed grief counselors and can take place virtually or on-site, based on your company’s preferences. Individual sessions give employees a confidential space to explore their grief, process specific concerns, and receive personalized coping tools for emotional and psychological healing.
Every participant in our group or individual sessions receives a thoughtfully curated grief packet. These packets include educational materials about the stages and types of grief, journaling prompts, calming techniques, affirmation cards, and tips for emotional regulation. These resources serve as an ongoing guide for employees to use after the session ends and are designed to reinforce healing at work and at home.

For companies seeking longer-term grief support, we offer customizable grief care packages over 3, 6, or 12 months. These packages can include monthly grief groups, quarterly workshops, wellness check-ins, 1:1 counseling, and special memorial services to honor the loss. This extended support helps companies create a culture of compassion, emotional safety, and sustainable healing.
Our grief self-care workshops are designed to restore emotional balance, reduce burnout, and help teams reconnect with themselves after a loss. These 60–75 minute workshops may include guided mindfulness practices, art-based healing, breathwork, grief journaling, and somatic grounding exercises. They are ideal as follow-ups to initial grief sessions or as part of employee wellness programming.
