The best way to find out if this approach is for you is to schedule a 15 - 20 minute consultation. Depending on your clinician’s availability, this consult may be held over the phone, via video, or in-person.

The denial and isolation stage of grief is often one of the most difficult to overcome. During this stage, you may try to distance yourself from the pain of your loss by denying that the event has occurred or minimizing your emotional distress.
You may withdraw from social activities and isolate yourself from others. While these coping mechanisms may provide temporary relief, they can eventually lead to further feelings of loneliness and despair.
Our counseling for grief and loss can be an effective way to address these issues and help you move through the denial and isolation stage of grief. By providing compassionate support, our counselors can help you accept the reality of your loss and begin to heal.
As the reality of your loss sets in, you may start to feel angry. You may be angry with yourself, with your loved one, or with the world in general.
This is a normal part of coming to terms with grief and loss, but it can be incredibly confusing and frustrating, especially if you’re angry with your loved one who is no longer here. Oftentimes, people in this stage will find themselves lashing out at those around them, even though they may not mean to.
Counseling can be an extremely helpful way of dealing with the anger stage of grief. A trained counselor can provide a safe space for you to express your emotions without judgment. They can also help you understand your anger and work through it in a constructive way. If you are struggling to deal with your anger, counseling may be able to help.
During this stage, you may feel desperate — bargaining with God or the universe to bring your loved one back.
You may also start making deals with yourself, such as promising to be a better person if only your loved one will return. It is possible that you may even blame yourself for the death, wondering if things would have turned out differently if you had made different choices.
Grief counseling can help you come to terms with this fact and move on from the bargaining stage. Through empathy and guidance, a counselor can provide the support that you need to begin the process of acceptance and healing.
As grief starts to take over your life, you may feel hopeless and helpless. You may lose interest in activities you used to enjoy and withdraw from family and friends. This is a normal part of grief, but it’s important to seek help if you feel like you’re unable to cope.
Counseling can be an invaluable resource during this stage of grief. A counselor can help you develop healthy coping strategies so that you can start to rebuild your life after the loss of your loved one.
In this final stage of grief, you begin to accept the reality of your loss. You may still feel sadness and pain, but you start to adjust to life without your loved one. You may also find yourself feeling more hopeful about the future.
The acceptance stage of grief is often misunderstood. It is not about “moving on” or forgetting the person who passed away. Instead, it is about accepting the reality of the loss and the emotions you’re experiencing and learning to live with the pain. This can be a difficult process, but counseling can help.
Our experienced grief counselors can provide support and understanding to help you build this acceptance and move forward with your life, despite the pain of your loss. An important part of the process involves helping you explore your feelings and find new ways to remember your loved one. Ultimately, counseling can help you find peace and start rebuilding your life.
