There's no right way to grieve, and no deadline
Grief doesn't follow stages in order, and it doesn't end when the casseroles stop.
People often come to counseling for:
The loss of a parent, partner, child, sibling, or close friend
Sudden, traumatic, or unexpected deaths, including overdose and suicide loss
Anticipatory grief while caring for someone who is dying
Grief that feels stuck, or that has returned after years
Guilt, anger, or relief that feels wrong to say out loud
A complicated relationship with the person who died
Feeling that everyone else has moved on, and being expected to
A place to say the whole thing
Grief counseling isn't about getting over the loss or getting back to normal. It's about having a place to say everything, including the parts that don't fit at the dinner table, and finding a way to carry the person with you. We draw on grief-informed, evidence-based approaches and follow your pace. Some sessions are about the person. Some are about you. Both count.
