Grief & Loss
Grief Counseling: Support for Healing Through Loss
Losing someone or something you love can feel overwhelming, leaving you with emotions like sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness. Grief is a deeply personal experience, and no two journeys are the same. At Arizona Center for Counseling, we specialize in grief counseling, offering compassionate, personalized support to help you navigate this challenging time and find a path toward healing.
What is Grief Counseling?
Grief counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental space to process the pain of loss, whether from the death of a loved one, a significant life change, or other experiences. Our goal is to help you:
-
Understand and express your emotions.
-
Cope with the physical and emotional impacts of grief.
-
Find meaning and rebuild a sense of hope.
-
Honor your loss while moving forward at your own pace.
Common Experiences of Grief
Grief can show up in many ways, and it’s not just about losing a person. You may be grieving:
-
The death of a family member, friend, or pet.
-
A major life transition, like divorce, job loss, or retirement.
-
Loss of health, independence, or identity.
-
“Ambiguous loss,” such as a loved one with dementia or a missing person.
Signs you might benefit from grief counseling include:
-
Persistent sadness, emptiness, or despair.
-
Difficulty accepting the loss or moving forward.
-
Feeling stuck, numb, or disconnected from others.
-
Intense guilt, anger, or regret.
-
Trouble with daily tasks, sleep, or appetite.
Our Approach to Grief Counseling
At Arizona Center for Counseling, we tailor grief counseling to your unique needs. As a licensed counselor with specialized training in grief and loss, I use evidence-based approaches, such as:
-
Person-Centered Therapy: Listening deeply to your story and honoring your emotions.
-
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Addressing unhelpful thoughts or behaviors tied to grief.
-
Mindfulness Techniques: Helping you stay grounded during overwhelming moments.
-
Narrative Therapy: Exploring ways to honor your loved one’s memory or reframe your loss.
Whether you’re facing recent loss or unresolved grief from the past, we’ll work together to create a plan that feels right for you. Sessions are available in-person or via telehealth for your convenience.
