Grief & Loss TherapyWheaton, IL
Loss in any form confronts us with questions like “why did this happen?”, “how do I move on?” and “will life ever be the same without…?” Loss impacts all of us, but each person feels emotional and psychological pain differently. Regardless of how you’re experiencing your loss today, it is important that you allow yourself to experience healing. Grief therapy will empower you to live with your losses, honor your emotions, and find the courage to move forward in life.
Why is grief therapy necessary?
At times we are stuck in the grieving process. Our friends and family might encourage us to move on, and we might feel abandoned and betrayed by others. Seeking therapy for grief can help you process your feelings and make sense of the emotional pain you are experiencing. Your therapist can give you the support you need to heal and honor your losses.

The duration of grief and loss therapy varies significantly from person to person. It depends on many factors, including the nature of the loss, your personal coping style, your support network, and more. Some people find relief in a few sessions, while others may need longer-term support.
Absolutely. Seeking therapy for grief is a healthy step towards healing. Grief can be an overwhelming and isolating experience, and having a professional guide can make a significant difference in how you cope and recover.
Yes, you can. There is no “correct” timeline for grieving, and it’s not uncommon for unresolved feelings of loss to surface years after the event. Therapy can help you address these feelings whenever they arise.
If you find that your feelings of grief are overwhelming, interfering with your daily life, or you’re struggling to move forward, it might be time to seek therapy. Other signs include persistent sadness, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite, or a lack of interest in activities you once enjoyed.
It’s okay if you’re not ready to discuss your loss in detail. Therapy can proceed at a pace that feels comfortable for you, focusing on helping you cope with your feelings and develop strategies to manage your day-to-day life as you navigate your grief.
