Loss or Grief therapists in Faribault, Minnesota MN

There are many different things that we grieve but it is a necessary process to regaining our lives. Working through the grief is optimal because often grief can hang onto use for a very long time  

I offer grief counseling for those who have endured a recent loss, as well as those struggling to come to terms with a loss from the more distant past. I specialize in issues related to complicated grief (aka prolonged grief), as well as losing someone to suicide. Often the clients I see tell me that they can't see their lives as possessing any purpose or meaning in the wake of their loss. Nor do they feel right about looking toward the future or trying to move forward, as they feel that this dishonors the memory of the deceased. Sometimes feelings of guilt or regret linger after loss, too. I help those grieving work through these types of issues and increase their level of connection with loved ones and friends.  

I help individuals and couples with any forms of loss, including: deaths of loved ones, relationship losses, infertility or pregnancy loss, life events & transitions, medical diagnoses or terminal illness, job loss or changes, etc. Whether it is sudden or anticipated, recent or ones that occurred years ago, we can work together to help you cope with, and grieve such significant losses.  

Bereavement can be a difficult time and I focus on acknowledging grief and focusing on positive memories of the loved one who has passed.  

The grieving process is different for everyone. Everyone grieves in their own way and in their own time. Some people recover from grief and resume normal activities within six months, though they continue to feel moments of sadness. Others may feel better after about a year. Therapy will address your personal grieving process and give you the support that you need for your particular loss.
