Grief is a normal response to loss. Grief can be defined as the painful emotion resulting from loss. Losses other than death can cause the experience of grief.  Losses include: divorce, natural disasters, relocating, medical diagnosis, termination of relationships or occupation. Grief therapy will help you to learn the process and emotions associated with grief to help you better understand and heal from the changes that have impacted your life.

The grieving process occurs in stages, the process is unique to each individual and can shift unpredictably. Our trained professionals are here to meet you in your journey to healing no matter where you are in the process or the level of prevention you may need.
