Grief Counseling
Grief counseling is used to help individuals who may be struggling with the loss or death of a loved one or any major life changes that may trigger feelings of grief. You may be dealing with the loss of someone close to you, the change of a career, the ending of a relationship, or selling a childhood home. Wherever your grief comes from, it is important to talk through your feelings and fears associated with the loss. Grief counseling is a means that helps individuals work through their emotions and which helps clients get on a better and healthier path to coping.

Signs and symptoms of grief may vary for each individual depending on what you are experiencing. Everyone grieves and this is a normal process after losing a loved one or going through a traumatic loss. It’s important to pay attention to your grieving process and how severe your emotions may be. If you notice it is becoming a challenge to go about normal daily tasks and you are struggling to stay focused in areas of your life, it may be helpful to speak with a professional. Especially if you find that a major loss has caused complications, such as depression, prolonged anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or severe and prolonged grief, these are signs that counseling may be needed.
