Grief and Loss Counseling in Leland, NC.

The death of a loved one--or loss of a relationship--can bring you to your knees. You may feel completely overwhelmed, wondering: Why am I here? What is this all about? To help you find answers and regain your balance, Dr. Staat will introduce avenues for healing and insight. She will walk you through the stages of grief and see you safely to the other side. As a result of a rich therapy process, you will have the opportunity to mine the gold buried in your dark time; and, you can emerge more resilient.

Grief, and how it is processed, can be widely different person to person. Addtiionally, there are many sources of grief including loss of a loved one, loss or significant change in a relationship, loss of a job, a move, or even missed opportunities. I use various techniques including CBT, narrative therapy, and brief solution based therapies as well as creative and art derived techniques to help a person effectively process grief.

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.
