Therapy for Grief and Loss
Grief is a natural human response to loss, but that doesn’t mean bereavement of a loved one isn’t an intense and at times desolate experience. 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 loss counseling offers a non-judgmental, safe space for you to work through any issues you are unable to with others. It can provide you a much-needed safe space to work through your struggles with a caring, nonjudgmental professional.

...feeling profound sadness after the death of a loved one?
...experiencing excessive guilt about something left unsaid or undone

...having trouble resuming a normal life with grief and pain as your constant companions?
"Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim." - Vicki Harrison
