Grief Counseling

Are you feeling profound sadness after the death of a loved one? 

Experiencing excessive guilt about something left unsaid or undone? 

Maybe you’re gripped with fear? 

Caught in a cycle of anxiety, helplessness, or panic? 

Or having trouble resuming a normal life with grief and pain as your constant companions? 

Maybe you’d like professional support through a period of mourning?

While painful experiences are normal during this time, your emotions may feel trapped on a non-stop rollercoaster, with downs and deeper downs interspersed with periods of brief respite. Loss is a very personal journey, with some finding it more difficult than others. While grieving for the same person can often foster compassion and connection among family and friends, it’s also common for the grieving to struggle with anger, conflict, a lack of understanding, or an inability to fully share your feelings with others. 

Grief and bereavement counseling offers a non judgmental, safe space for you to work through any issues you are unable to with others. 

Grief and bereavement counseling can provide you a much-needed safe space to work through your struggles with a caring, nonjudgmental professional. 

We focus on helping people feel better and learn to cope with their grieving experience. We can help you learn to express and come to terms with the broad range of emotions involved in the grieving process, from those that you may expect — sadness, loneliness, exhaustion -  to those that come as a surprise, such as relief, anger, and a sense of confusion. 

So if these describe you...

You’re struggling to come to terms with a loss - 

You feel overwhelmed with grief, fear, despair, or worry - 

Your faith seems shattered and you feel abandoned at your time of greatest need - 

You feel alone as everyone else seems to have moved on without you - 

You want to live a happier, more connected life - 

You’d like professional support to better cope through the grieving process ...

Then grief and bereavement counseling may offer the support, guidance, and expert care you need. In our grief and bereavement counseling we work with you toward lessening the pain so you can function well in your post-loss life. We listen with empathy, discuss ways to deal with unhelpful and unhealthy thoughts and behaviors, and teach you techniques to manage distress and enable you to move forward. 

Types of loss?

There is no one specific type of loss or grief, but loss can be expected or unexpected. There are numerous loss situations that cause grief symptoms. Although we are most familiar with grief due to death, there are non-death personal losses that can also cause grief. These can range from the loss of independence, potential futures, connection to religious or spirituality, self-image or sense of generativity. Other non-death loss is loss of the end of a relationship, deployment, retirement, health, custody or moving. 

Grief Treatment Can Help You Find Relief from the Troubling Emotions and Moving Forward.

It’s important to remember that grief will not simply vanish. There is not one “right” way to experience your grieving process. The troubling thoughts and feelings like despair, longing, guilt and shame are common emotions that pair with grief. However, treatment for grief is needed when you are feeling stuck in acute grief, unable to accept reality of the loss, or difficulty re-defining your life after the loss. 

Therapy can make it possible for you to have a safe space to explore your grieving process at your own pace with a supportive counselor walk with you.
