Grief and Loss

Grief occurs throughout the many stages of life. Most people have suffered the death of a loved one. However, these feelings can occur at other times such as after a job loss, separation, disconnect from a family member, abuse or illness. Consistent support during this critical period is essential to accepting what has happened and assimilating it into our lives. Therapy can be a method of attaining that assimilation in order to move forward with a sense of peace and purpose.

Life Transitions

Throughout our lives we go through a series of developmental milestones, both individually and as part of a family and/or relationship. When we get stuck in the transitions between the milestones, or our partners/family members don't follow alongside, conflict can begin.

A residual effect from the conflict can be grief, depression, anxiety, anger or a combination of these and many more symptoms. Therapy at these stages of life can provide the support necessary to get through the changes, provide the necessary insight into making changes and help assimilate the new dynamics.

Some examples of life transitions include divorce, separation, job loss or career change, serious illness, "empty nesting", religious or spiritual changes, and many more.
