Loss or Grief
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief is a normal human response to loss. The stages of grief include shock and denial, guilt, bargaining, anger, and depression before finally finding acceptance and hope. Many people who experience grief feel as though they "should be over it by now" and wonder when it will end. Typical grief can last a year to 18 months with periodic "flare ups" in the coming years. Together we can create a plan to cope with the symptoms you are experiencing and develop a path to healing.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Adjusting to the loss of a loved one is one of the most difficult things in life, and many people need help, since in many cases almost everything about their life is different, and everything reminds them of the loss. When grief does not seem to fade and it does not seem to be possible to move on, help is needed and a re-orientation of life is perhaps the only things that will allow the grieving person to move on.
