Grief and Loss Counseling
In-Person & Online sessions available for Grief and Loss Counseling in Ann Arbor and across Michigan
Supporting you through losses. Offering you space to grieve.
Your losses hurt. You knew they would, but didn’t know how much the hurt would impact you. If you’ve lost a loved one, a pet, a job, a marriage and you’re struggling, you are not alone. Death, divorce, illness, the end of a dream are all profoundly difficult situations that take time to process and heal from. When you’ve lost someone or something dear to you, it can feel like your world has stopped, while everyone else’s lives have moved on without you.
Grief is a difficult, necessary journey. At times, grief might feel like a quiet sadness, while at other times, it can feel like a punch to the gut. You may be familiar with stages of grief; it’s important to know they are not linear and even two people experiencing the same loss will likely grieve very differently. Wherever you are in processing your loss, whatever type it is, you deserve support, compassion and the safe space to talk about your loss(es) and to be heard.
When we lose someone one or something important to us,
it can feel like we’re suffering all alone.
Here to listen to and help you share the story of your loss.
Together we’ll work on:
speaking the unspeakable-expressing all the feelings you have about your loss
asking questions that are on your heart and mind
working through your thoughts and feelings
feeling seen and heard

Reflect on what the loss meant to you
Feel connected again

Envision a future that honors your loss
Adjust to a new and different “normal”
You don’t have to grieve alone.
Let’s walk through it together.

That really depends on you and what your needs are for grieving. Because each of us deals with grief differently, there isn’t a formula or a prescribed timeline, and sometimes the process is complicated. You can decide when you want to take a break or end counseling. Learn more.
