“I Can’t Cry. All My Emotions Are in My Chest.”
The tears won’t come.
So everything stays packed behind your breastbone: the sadness, the anger and the fear that it will always feel like this.
Some weeks the anxiety won’t let you sit still.
Other weeks the depression barely lets you out of bed.
And you swing from sad to furious and back again, sometimes inside the same hour.
Nobody Can Hand Back What Was Taken
A parent died before you were old enough to understand it.
A partner died, and it wasn’t from natural causes.
Or what you lost was time: whole chapters of your life handed over to abuse you never chose.
For some people, a pet was the only family they could attach to. Losing that pet is losing family.
Why does it have to be this unfair?
Life is unfair. Your grief needs a therapist who will admit it.
Your Loss Forces a Reckoning With Injustice
Grief is more than sadness.
It’s also where you face a hard truth: some losses have no good reason behind them.
Other people got more time.
Other people got a childhood.
It isn’t fair, and I won’t pretend it is.
Living honestly inside an unjust world is what lets the wound heal into a future that means something.
Channel Your Grief Into a Life With Purpose
Together, we unravel your loss piece by piece, whatever that loss is. Here’s where the work leads:
- Let the tears come instead of holding everything in your chest.
- Feel your anger without letting it make your choices for you.
- Spend fewer weeks lurching between anxiety and depression.
- Stop fighting the unfairness you were never able to change.
- Honor the person, pet or years you lost in how you live.
You can’t recover what you lost, and it doesn’t have to control the life you have left.
Three Phases From Trust to Breathing Again
-
Trust and Vulnerability
I earn your trust first. Nothing deep can happen until you feel safe enough to open up, and you decide how fast we go.
Trust comes before anything else.
-
Deep Dive
The nuts and bolts: we work through the anger, the sadness and the unfairness, and fold the loss into your present life. If outside medical support would help, we weigh that together.
The loss finds its place in your life.

I Can Breathe
The pain subsides. You no longer feel you’ll be buried under an avalanche, and you accept that unfair things happen and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
Your chest finally opens up.
Why Trust Me as Your Partner in Healing
I’m Blunt About What Can’t Be Fixed
Some losses are simply unfair, and I’ll say it to your face without dressing it up as a lesson.
Deaths, Lost Years and Old Trauma
My work centers on trauma and chronic childhood abuse, so grief for stolen years gets the same weight here as grief for a death.
Licensed in Colorado and Florida
Every session happens by secure video with me, Melissa Hunt, MA, LPC, LMHC, wherever you are in either state.
Hello. My Name Is Melissa.
My private practice has been in Florida and Colorado for decades, and almost all of my work is with women who are living out of childhood trauma and abuse that nobody ever helped them finish.
You can find meaning in pain. You can make sense out of what feels senseless.
I’ve had to do that myself, so I’m not asking you for anything I haven’t done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Then that’s where we begin. Grief has to be invited in, and it comes when you’re in a place to handle how deep it goes.
Yes. When a pet was the one bond that held through a childhood of abuse, its death is the death of family, and we grieve it that way.
Some people need that extra support while they’re in the thick of it, and others never do. If we agree it would help, I’ll point you toward a psychiatrist to handle the prescription.
I’m in network with Cigna, Aetna, Kaiser/Beacon, BCBS and United. If your plan isn’t on that list, I can give you a superbill to submit on your own.
Yes. We meet by secure video from anywhere in Colorado or Florida, and your paperwork and messages stay in your own private client portal.
