Expert Support for Grieving Adults, Children, and Families
About Jill S. Cohen, CT
Grief Counseling for All Ages In-Person In New York City and Via Telehealth Anywhere
For over 20 years, I’ve been walking alongside grieving children, teens, and adults—helping them feel seen, supported, and a little less alone.
Grief is not something to “get over.” It’s something to move through—with care, honesty, and a safe place to feel whatever you're feeling.
I've had the honor of supporting hundreds of children at Comfort Zone Camp, the nation's largest bereavement camp for kids. I've facilitated various bereavement support groups for children and adults in the Healing Hearts program at the United Hospice of Rockland. In this work, I’ve supported families facing some of the hardest moments of their lives.
A Lifelong Calling
I hold a certification in Thanatology—the study of death, dying, and bereavement—through ADEC (the Association for Death Education and Counseling). This work is more than a profession to me—it’s a passion, a calling, and a privilege.
Grief is never easy. But there are tools, and there are ways to heal. It would be an honor to walk with you through this part of your story.

My Approach to Grief Counseling
Grief counseling isn’t about fixing you—it’s about being with you:
To witness your tears.
To hear your fears.
To honor your memories and help you build rituals that keep the bond alive.
To help you process the waves of grief in a way that feels honest and doable.
Everyone deserves a safe space to grieve: a place to share stories, ask hard questions, seek guidance, and slowly find a way forward.
A Few of My Philosophies:
Nobody should have to grieve alone.
Every loss is a significant loss to the person who is experiencing it.
“You should be over it” is a myth. Everyone grieves at a different pace.
Grief stinks. There’s nothing fun about it, but we can find enjoyment through the process of continuing bonds.
It’s okay to cry. It’s not a sign of weakness.
Children and adults grieve differently. A child grieves in ways that may not be apparent to adults, but they are grieving.
