What Is Grief Counseling?

Grief counseling helps individuals process the emotional pain of losing a loved one. Through supportive, client-centered sessions, you can start to heal and rebuild your life in a healthy, meaningful way.

How Grief Affects You

Grief can impact every aspect of life—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. You feel overwhelmed, isolated, or stuck. These feelings are normal, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.
