Starting Grief & loss counseling

What type of counseling is needed when a person cannot get over the grief of losing a loved one?

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 Knoxville, TN have specific experience, training, and skills that enable them to best support grieving individuals.

How does grief and loss counseling work?

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 Knoxville, TN will design your treatment plan around your unique needs and goals for therapy, applying the counseling techniques that best support them.

Signs I should seek grief counseling

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.

What counseling theory is best for grief?

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.

Is grief counseling conducted in person or online?

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.

How long does grief counseling last?

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.

Grief and Bereavement Counseling in Knoxville, TN

If it is unexpected, the shock of life changing so dramatically in an instant can be totally overwhelming.  It can take weeks, months, even years, to fully recover.  Even if the loss of a loved one is at the end of a long illness, the grief can be too much to bear.  A grieving process is normal after any loss, but if it is prolonged or severe, an experienced grief counselor may be needed.

If you are struggling as a result of loss, consider reaching out to Thriveworks Knoxville for grief counseling. We can offer you compassionate care within the week.

Signs of Severe Grief

In this life, we will all experience death.  Even though it is an absolute guarantee, we are almost never fully prepared when it happens to someone we love.  The loss of a spouse, a parent, a child, a friend, a sibling, even a pet, is one of the major stressors in life.  There are many signs that grief is becoming overwhelming.  Being unable to go about your daily activities, becoming reclusive from friends and family, replaying the events surrounding the death obsessively; all of these things are signs that the grieving process has stalled.  It is also common for unhealthy behaviors to begin as a result of grief.

I like that I am given lots of materials to work with to solidify what I have learned and go back to when I forget what was talked about. I also love that I feel like my experiences or knowledge of therapy isnt a barrier because I am met where I am on skills. Im given information where i lack knowledge and we are able to move on when i already understand a skill.

Brittany Tyler is an amazing therapist that has helped me realize so many truths about myself. She pushes me outside of my comfort zone in the best way to improve my mental health. I have received so much clarity from our sessions, and I truly don't know where I would be without her support, validation, and encouragement. I would recommend her to anyone, because she is able to meet the client where they are at to provide the best results. I feel understood, and challenged in the most effective way. Her knowledge is so expansive, and as a therapist myself I have been thoroughly impressed with her technique. She is truly incredible at her job and I am thankful to be her client.
