Grief and Loss Therapy
Grief Counseling Providing therapy for grief in Los Angeles to help process the loss of someone or something important to you.
All people will experience loss in one form or another throughout their lives. Grief counseling can help.
Grief takes many forms. It can be the loss of a family member or loved one or the sudden departure of a cherished pet. We can also grieve over loss in our lives- a relationship ending or a sudden departure from your job.
Grief can feel overwhelming as we experience the hole in our lives from the loss. But it’s an important and natural part of healing. Grief only comes from the loss of someone or something we have actively loved and cherished- in some ways it can be viewed as the price we pay for having love in our lives. Therapy for grief can provide an experienced and empathetic person to help take the journey with you.
Grief counseling can help you process your grief and help you move forward when the time is right for you.
Grief is something that must be experienced in order to heal, but sometimes it can feel overwhelming as you process the loss. Our culture doesn’t value grief and loss and sometimes it can feel isolating, like you’re the only one experiencing it while everyone else goes on with their lives. Having a professional experienced at therapy for grief at your side as your walk through the experience can be a huge comfort.
