Denver Wellness Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Grief and loss is a normal part of the human experience, yet the suffering is intense and often lengthy. Grief work can be for the loss of a loved one, pet, job, identity, social group, dream/goal, ability, or construct. In therapy, we discuss the difference between "normal grief" (though grief looks different for different people) and "complicated grief" where any number of factors can act as a hinderance to the grieving process. Complicated grief can look like any of the following: having a complicated relationship with the deceased (unsaid words, unsettled grievances), death that is unexpected or violent, underlying attachment wounds, lack of support/understanding from your others, or any traumatic aspect of the experience surrounding the loss. At Denver Wellness Counseling, we approach grief work with the goal of healthy grief, which is a two pronged (somewhat conflicting) goal of moving on in life while also remaining connected to the deceased in a way that feels right. We often use EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) to address the complicating or traumatic factors that are hindering the grief process. Grief work always includes a component of future work, guiding the client to successfully imagine a future where they can maintain some connection to the loss, while also living what they consider a good life.

Ruth Weinberg
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Whether it is the loss of a loved one, the loss of a close relationship, job, hope or dream, grief is a painful, devastating and overwhelming experience. My journey as a grief counselor began with providing individual, family and group therapy at a volunteer Hospice where I saw bereaved, actively dying, caregiver and anticipatory grief clients of all ages. I have the experience and understanding to guide clients through the process of learning how to get through the day despite deep pain, develop ways of coping with their emotions and finding a healing path forward.

"Grief is love with no place to go" -- that is the framework that guides my work with grief and loss. I work to make space for the love that no longer knows where to go.

Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
In many areas of life, we are not "out of moves." However, in grief, there is nowhere to eventually go but acceptance, and there are so many feelings that are part of this process - that are not linear. I take a companion approach to grief and am with you every step of the way.

Adria Hagg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Loss and grief work entails understanding that grief encompasses a roller coaster of emotions. Grief work is not linear. One day, we can feel "some normalcy" and the next we feel the world is shattering around us. Grief can be a lonely journey due to feeling those around us do not understand our pain and despair. There is hope and while the grief may never go away the journey takes us to a place where our grief evolves.
