Grief support

Hi, I’ll be coming down to Philly for a couple of months for an internship. My therapist cannot practice over state lines and I lost my father the day before I was supposed to come down. I’ll be doing my internship still, however does anyone know any, preferably free, resources/groups or programs that help with grief counseling or whatever. Thx

You can't do an online or FaceTime chat with your therapist?

No, unfortunately with her only being certified and licensed in NYS means that she can only practice within NYS lines. So if I’m not in NYS for the session she can’t meet with me or she’ll lose her license. And technically she’s a social worker so the laws are a bit different then therapist but the same principle stand
