Grief and Loss Counseling in Alpharetta, GA.

I have been helping clients deal with loss for more than two decades. When you lose someone, or something, dear to you, the reality can be extremely painful and the great sadness you feel can be exacerbated with feelings you might not have expected: anger, shock, even guilt. Although you will likely grieve differently than others (we all grieve in our own way), it is important for your own emotional health and healing that you do go through it and working with a trained, experienced therapist like myself can ease and shorten the process. “Loss” is not only caused by death. It can be caused by divorce, loss of a job or career (retirement can cause emotional trauma), loss of youth and/or health, even relocating to a new town.

Grieving is a natural and necessary response to a loss. When we lose a loved one we must go through the process of grieving to heal from that loss and to be able to fully engage in life again. Sometimes the loss we experience does not come in the form of losing a person, but of losing a job, a career, a relationship, or a dream, for example. Whatever the type of loss we experience, we need to find ways of adjusting to it. Therapy can help people to process their feelings and navigate the waters of grief and loss, and assist them with rebuilding their lives.

I assist clients in working trough their grief and finding meaning in the painful situation they find themselves in. Counseling can give the type of support that may not be available from family and friends. Grief is complicated and no two people experience it in the same way. Working together with clients I help them become strong and able to enjoy their life again.

Grief is a natural response to loss. A loss of any magnitude can trigger grief--from losing a loved one to losing a job, from ending a relationship to a significant financial loss. Grieving poorly can lead to unresolved and unprocessed pain that lasts a lifetime. On the other hand, grieving well is one of the most important skills in life and can lead to lasting healing and wholeness. Call Sarah for an appointment (770) 548-3034.

You deserve to find a sense of peace, fulfillment, and contentment again!

Most of us will experience loss at some point in our lives. Grief is a reaction to any form of loss and this can include death, job loss, divorce, and changes in one’s abilities. Bereavement is a type of grief involving the death of a loved one. Both experiences can encompass a wide range of feelings from sadness to anger. Each one of us processes loss in a unique way depending on our upbringing, beliefs, religious or spiritual background, and our relationship to what was lost. My approach to grief and loss respects your unique process and helps you to process and move on.

Therapeutic support for grief and loss, along with life transitions counseling can be beneficial to those who have experienced losses such as the death of a loved one, a miscarriage, a separation or divorce, a job loss, the loss of one's health, or the loss of something dear to them. With over 10 years of experience in Hospice, I offer the dedicated and compassionate professional support you need to help you navigate through the shock, sadness, and emptiness, and arrive at a place of peace and healing.
