Grief is normal, and it is a painful part of life that we all must face. Sometimes you can feel really alone, or feel like you will never get back to normal again. Maybe you lost a loved one suddenly, and this has been traumatic. Or perhaps you struggled for a long time caring for an ailing family member. And there are many other types of grief. We can help you to navigate the journey of healing from loss so that the experience enriches your life rather than taking a piece of you.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

The death of a loved one is possibly the single most difficult experience that anyone can face. Seeking out counseling is a good way to handle the grief and loss that come after experiencing loss. Your counselor can help you explore the intense feelings of sadness and loss. Many people are expected to continue their normal daily activities after a loss, such as going to work and taking care of family. Therefore, they are unable to fully experience and explore their grief. Yet research has shown that the more deeply you can feel and understand your pain the better prepared you will be to move beyond your grief and re-enter normal life. Call today: (970) 227-2770.

Connecting to our experiences of grief & loss means connecting to ourselves again. As people, a common experience we share is that of loss. Sometimes a loss is a death, or the end of a relationship. Other times it may be result from a change in a persons health, possessional or security loss, or dreams and desires. The impact of a loss resonates through various parts of our life. The impact my be our sleep, nutrition, motivation, mood, relationships, job, or even passions/hobbies. It can feel overwhelming to sort out all the feelings and experiences. Counseling gives you a space to safely unload your experiences, receive validation, and create steps to reconnect to yourself and your life.

The process of grieving is complex. There are several types of grief other than the death of a loved one. There is no "right or wrong" way to move through this painful process. There is no time frame for healing so our time together will be based on your personal experience and process of healing. My goal is to meet you where you are and facilitate healing in a safe & trusting environment.

With children, play therapy can be a great additional tool to use to help them process their grief indirectly.

Sometimes we never get over a loss but with support and help, you can get through it.
