Grief Counseling
Grieving the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or any significant life change can be a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Grief doesn't follow a linear path and can manifest in various forms and at different times. At Atwater Village Therapy, we understand the complexities of grief and offer compassionate support to help you navigate this challenging journey.
Struggling with the Weight of Grief?
Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing, and can sometimes lead to feelings of despair or hopelessness. You may experience intense emotions like sadness, anger, guilt, or even numbness. It's also common to struggle with accepting the loss or finding it hard to envision a future without the person or thing you've lost.
The process of grieving is unique to each individual, and there's no "right" way to grieve. Whether you're dealing with the recent loss of a loved one, grappling with the long-term impact of a past loss, or facing a significant life change, it's important to acknowledge and process your feelings.
