Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?

I consider individual therapy for grief and loss to be a confidential and safe space for self-exploration through validation and empathy. This approach facilitates organic problem-solving in areas detrimental to one's development. I emphasize the importance of self-awareness and effective communication as pivotal components of therapy, focusing on enhancing self-esteem and self-confidence through empowerment, boundary building, and conflict resolution skills.
Meaningful progress in therapy, from my perspective, is evident when clients acknowledge the difficulty of the work involved. Recognizing that significant change requires time, exploration, and practice without judgment highlights the effort and dedication required to alter habits and thought processes.
My therapy sessions always conclude with homework, which might include behavioral charts, creative arts, or existential contemplation of concepts discussed during sessions. I believe therapeutic work extends beyond the therapy sessions, occurring in real life where the skills and concepts explored can be applied and practiced.
The decision to initiate therapy is seen as a critical and empowering step, despite potential apprehensions. Preparing for the first session involves acknowledging one's courage and resilience, embracing the opportunity for personal growth.
To prepare for their initial therapy session, individuals should recognize their bravery in taking this significant step towards self-improvement. Remembering one's inherent value and strengths can provide comfort and motivation for the journey ahead.
Grief and loss counseling helps people grieve difficult losses including the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, or the end of a relationship. It helps people navigate their grief process and eventually accept, understand, and move forward from their loss. Thriveworks grief therapists in Glen Burnie, MD have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.
Grief and loss counseling isn’t one-size-fits-all, but it involves sharing about your loss and then working with your counselor to acknowledge and accept your new reality in its wake. Your provider at Thriveworks in Glen Burnie, MD will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.
If you have recently experienced an event like the death of a loved one, a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life change, then you may want to seek grief and loss counseling. Grief can be caused by many experiences and events, so if you feel that you are having trouble moving on from a certain event or find that it is still impacting your life and functioning, grief and loss counseling can help you process it more effectively so that you can move on and once again find fulfillment and satisfaction in your life.
There are many counseling theories for treating grief, one of the most frequently used being the dual process model of grief which helps people acknowledge who or what they’ve lost through rumination while also adjusting to the new roles and identities that this loss has now placed on them. There are also many commonly used therapy approaches used in grief and loss counseling, including Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and traumatic grief therapy.
Grief & loss counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For many, grief and loss counseling lasts for about 6 months. For others, it may last shorter or longer, depending on the severity of their loss and their grief.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
