Grief Therapy in Milwaukee

Our Grief Counselors help teens and adults to take you beyond your initial reactions to the loss and get to the place where you can live with the loss in a healthy way.

A loss of a loved one can feel dark, heavy, and empty. Most people who start Grief Counseling feel lost in life, unsure of how to find their way. Perhaps you can relate. Maybe your days are blurring together, or you are unmotivated to do anything in your free time. Maybe you feel numb and disconnected from others.

Stuck in negativity and feeling hopeless, you may feel like life is exhausting. You may be angry that others are moving on like nothing has happened.

Do You Feel Sad, Empty, Guilty?

Do any of the following resonate with you?

Your energy levels are at an all-time low.
You feel unable to do your day-to-day responsibilities.
You wake up every morning feeling overwhelmed and depressed.

If these sound true for you, we want you to know that many of our clients have shared that it was difficult for them to come into grief counseling. But getting the help you need is a sign of strength and will help you manage the stuff that comes up in your life. You feel like you should be able to move through grief on your own. You don't have to, and grief is not something one should carry on their own. You deserve to have the time and space to grieve.

It's possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...
