Loss is a natural part of your human experience. Many of us have been taught ways to cope with loss and emotions that may bury the pain, which may show up several years later and make you feel overwhelmed.
You may have found this page because your heart is broken and you’re looking for help. Regardless of how you found us, we’re glad you did and we think you’re a special person. We look forward to supporting you in healing your broken heart.
All grief is experienced at 100%. There is no such thing as a half-griever and we do not compare grief. Every person has experienced any one of the hundred types of loss. And each person will experience those losses in just as wide an array of types of loss.
You are not supposed to feel a certain way, and we aren’t going to tell you that we know how you feel because we don’t. Only you know how you feel.
Let us help you heal your broken heart.

Usually, the word “grief” is associated with when we lose someone in our life. But what do we call it when we have uncomfortable feelings with someone who is still with us or someone who has never been there for us? In short, grief can come in multiple forms and can be described as a normal and natural reaction to loss of any kind. If you have been shown that grief is not normal or natural, I’m not surprised. Until we found the Grief Recovery Method, it wasn’t either.
You may also be experiencing grief and confusion as the result of a change to a familiar pattern. This definition opens the door to positive experiences such as getting married, buying a house, moving, having a baby, new job, becoming debt free or getting sober from drugs or alcohol.
Bereavement Counseling
Overcoming loss is not easy. Most people struggle to overcome the pain of losing a loved one, which can significantly impact their coping with relationships, friends, death, work productivity, and overall functioning.
Counseling and therapy, either group or individual, with a family therapist is an excellent way to ground yourself and reconnect with happiness.
Our therapists work at your pace for the best results.
Pet Loss
We typically outlive our pets, and the pain of losing them can take a toll on us. We know everyone experiences and tries to process the loss of their pet in an individual way.
We offer pet loss groups and grief support groups so you have the support you need after losing a pet. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been since you lost your special friend.
We help you manage your feelings so you can reflect on the loss of your pet with both happy memories and sad ones without guilt.
Relationship Loss
Loss can shake the foundation of any relationship. Whether you are dealing with the loss of a loved one, loss of a child, divorce, relationship issues, infertility, life transitions, loss of a job, or experiencing an empty nest for the first time, each partner experiences each loss differently—which may divide strong relationships. If you have concerns that grief has negatively impacted you and your partner, try one of our groups.
Our therapists implement practical solutions, reinforcing communication and empathy in your relationship and family.
You can feel confident with our services, knowing you have relationship support during these challenging times.
Grief In The Workplace
Loss affects many facets of life, including work. If you struggle to manage emotions, you may fail to meet expectations on the job.

Dealing With Loss
Losing a loved one can be a devastating life event that impacts your happiness and families.
