Grief Counseling
Where Weary Hearts and Minds Can Find Solace and Peace In The Midst of Change and Loss.
Grief is so much more...
Grief is a complex and deeply personal experience that affects each of us in unique ways. It extends past the sorrow of death; we can grieve for the loss of relationships, the dreams that never materialized, and even the sense of self that shifts with life’s changes. Each form of loss brings its own challenges, often leading to a period of transition where we have to navigate the new ground below us or the vast sea we may feel lost in.
-
Maybe you've lost a loved one?
-
Your relationship ended and you're grieving the loss of dreams and plans?
-
Maybe your life has felt transition and parts of you feel lost or stuck?
-
Have you learned something devastating or difficult about yourself and are navigating a new norm?
-
Maybe you've discovered a loss yet to pass?

Grief Comes in Many Forms
Grief is complex and can bring up feelings of anger, confusion, sadness, fear, even panic. It can be a chaotic experience when that grief comes from a place of ending a relationship or losing a loved one. When we decide to end a relationship we can find ourselves feeling fear of the unknown while also feeling anger and pain from the loss of dreams and plans.
Grief is not meant to be experienced alone or in isolation. Our mission is to provide a space to help you navigate your experience and process your emotions, and help you find a place to rest.
You Don't Have To Navigate This Alone.
Finding Ourselves In The Fray.
Grief can also arrive when there is a shift or change in our normalcy and life. It can bring fear of the unknown, and pending loss. Chronic illness or discovery of an illness can shift the ground we walk on leaving us feeling unsteady or unstable.We not only need to navigate a new normal but we may need to start planning for something that feels unfathomable, unbearable, and life altering.
Our goal is not to rid you of the pain and heartache, but to provide you a safe place to process these changes, a space to navigate difficult conversations and a space to allow grief and connection to exist together.

Is it worth it?Traditional weekly couples therapy can cost around $150-$250 in the DFW metroplex. This would be around $7,200-$12,000 for a year of work. So undoubtedly, this would be a more affordable approach and would also save you 3-4 months of traditional therapy.
