My go-to approach for helping people in grief and loss therapy is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment upon which a strong clinical relationship can be built. It is my belief that through this partnership clients are best able to draw on their individual strengths and capabilities.
A variety of tools, techniques, and resources are shared with clients experiencing grief and loss in combination with mental health symptoms. An example of a tool I would share with a grieving client is to complete journaling exercises as a way of exploring and processing grief and loss.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when they share having decreased episode and presenting problems are resolved to a state where it is easily manageable than being a trigger.
Clients can supplement their time in by completing therapuetic homework and identifying support systems and using them.
I recommend contacting your insurance company to make sure you understand your mental health benefits before our intake. During your intake, we will be going over a variety of questions so I can get a snapshot picture of your biological, psychological, and social factors, and then briefly go over what brings you in for therapy. This is also a good time to share with me your mental health goals. This information will help me identify if I am a good fit for you and if I am not, I can refer you to someone who can meet your mental health needs.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Chesterfield, VA have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Chesterfield, VA will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
