Grief and loss are a part of the human condition. Grief is typically considered to be brought on by the death of a loved one, but can also be triggered by any significant life-altering loss (such as a divorce or the loss of a job). Grief is a natural response to loss, but that doesn’t make it easy to deal with. Symptoms of grief may include sadness, loneliness, anger, denial, depression and a myriad of other thoughts and feelings. There is no “normal” amount of time for grief to pass, but if you find that your grief is not improving over time or that it is interfering with your everyday life, you may want to consider seeking professional help. A qualified grief counselor can help you to cope with the physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and cognitive responses to loss. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s grief experts today.

You've always done everything right, and yet your world's just been turned upside down. You've been completely walloped by a death, a health diagnosis, a crumbling marriage, or a shattered dream. Your life no longer looks like how you thought it would. Waves of hard feelings keep coming at you, and your best efforts to deal with them aren't helping nearly enough. But you're normally the one who has it all together, and so everyone thinks you're doing so much better than you really are.

Maybe you're feeling depressed, anxious, or just struggling to make sense of what's going on internally. Maybe you find yourself wanting to make a change in your life and you don't know where to begin to do that! Maybe you're struggling with the relationships in your life. The great news is, you don't have to do this alone! With some support (and a little humor), we can navigate this together.
Are you feeling ready for change in the new year? Is your life playing on loop and you're ready to break the patterns? Are you finding yourself feeling frustrated and unprepared to make the changes you want? How can you heal and move past the old stuff so you can truly feel better? How do you figure out who you are and what you actually want...and how to make change actually happen? I work with individuals ages 16+ and couples who are ready for exploration, healing and change.
