What Services We Provide

Individuals and families process grief and loss in a variety of ways. Some openly talk about, and process the loss of a loved one, however, other families choose not to talk about the loss, and are uncomfortable with the sharing of emotions. The therapist works with the individual to not only uncover hidden emotions, but also to assist in processing deep-seated emotions that can become blocks to their ability to function in their home, in their career, and in friendships and other relationships outside the home and work environment.

Individuals who, for whatever reason, did not experience consistency with their caregiver, or whose early needs were not met, often struggle with the grief process. Sometimes, normal grieving such as talking about the loved one, and honoring the life they lived was not allowed in the home. They are then left to assume that grief is an abnormal thing, and something to be avoided at all costs. Feelings are stuffed, only to grow internally, causing disconnection, isolation, and severe unrest that blocks the ability to formulate healthy connections.

While grief occurs in any type of loss or severe disappointment, grief therapy focuses on the variety of emotions many individuals may not have recognized. The therapist remains sensitive to the client’s needs, slowing down the process to allow the individual to make sense of their grief, and to work through any unresolved emotions and experiences that directly impact their ability to find full closure and ultimate healing.

Grief therapy for individuals is a specialized treatment process. The primary focus is on helping individuals navigate their grief, process their emotions, and adjust to life after the loss. Grief therapy helps individuals process and express their emotions related specifically to their loss. This may involve exploring feelings of sadness, anger, guilt, or even relief. Therapists assist clients in identifying and understanding their emotions and finding healthy ways to cope with them.

Grief Group therapy encompasses a broader range of topics and concerns. It involves a small group of individuals who come together to share their experiences, challenges, and emotions related to various issues such as mental health, addiction, trauma, or personal growth. Grief Group therapy can be therapeutic for individuals dealing with grief but also extends to other areas of life.

If you are seeking help in dealing with grief, it is important to note that grief therapy is not a linear process. The duration and frequency of therapy sessions may vary depending on individual needs. Our therapists who specialize in grief therapy will guide you on your own journey toward understanding, managing, and dealing with grief and loss.
