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 Maumelle, AR 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 Maumelle, AR 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.

Therapy for Grief, Bereavement, and Loss in North Little Rock, AR (Maumelle)

While grief is normal, it is not easy. Losing someone or something you love can be only of life’s most painful experiences, and many people find the help they need during bereavement through grief counseling.

Grief therapy at Thriveworks North Little Rock, AR has helped many people mourn in a health way after they have experienced loss. Thriveworks Maumelle, AR grief counselors have extensive training in leading their clients through the challenges that loss brings and in helping them rebuild a new normal. Reach out today for support.

What Triggers Grief?

A loss of any kind can trigger grief. Most people associate grieving and mourning with the death of a loved one—family or friend. Losing a person may be the most severe form of loss, but people also experience grief after losing objects they value. Homeowners will likely feel grief if a fire were to destroy their home, and pet owners often grieve the death of a pet.

No list could contain every occasion that might trigger grief, but often, people pursue grief therapy after or during…

  • Chronic pain or health challenges
  • A loved one dies
  • A dear pet has passed
  • Loss of a home
  • Loss of a job
  • Divorce
  • A temporary or permanent disability
  • A natural disaster

Grief Is Varied and Complex

Just as grief comes with varied emotions, bereavement also often comes with a variety of mental health challenges. Anyone experiencing grief may also be experiencing …

  • Trouble focusing
  • Loss of appetite
  • Irritability and moodiness
  • Angry outbursts
  • Severe and sudden bouts of crying
  • Panic
  • Isolation and loneliness
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Physically painful sadness

Does anything on this list resonate with your experience? If so, you may be grieving. And you are not alone. Many people who are mourning a loss find the help they need through grief therapy.

What Does Grief Counseling Involve?

Because grief is unique to each person, so is grief counseling. The therapists at Thriveworks North Little Rock, AR tailor a treatment plan to address each client’s needs and goals. However, generally speaking, grief therapy has two main goals:

  • Understanding the loss: The complex feelings that accompany a loss need to be processes and understood. Moving forward often means looking back to the loss, its significance, and the feelings it has stirred. Grief therapists often help people understand their depression, relief, anger, sadness, regret (and more) so that they can move through them toward a new reality.
  • Acquiescing to a new reality: A severe part of loss is its conclusiveness. A loved one who has passed will not return. A home that has been moved away from can almost never be returned to. Almost everyone would turn back time if they could, even though they know it is impossible. A better way forward is acquiescing to the new reality. With support and guidance, many people find happiness and purpose in their life again.

I cannot say enough good about this place. They honestly do strive to get you in to see a practitioner quickly. And the importance of being seen soon to someone who is at a bad psychological point cannot be understated. It can, literally, mean the difference between life and death. After years of no longer being able to trust mental health providers due to so much misdiagnosis I reached out to Thriveworks. I asked for a particular practitioner, and they had me in to see her the following day. Kristy's approach was welcoming, empathetic, friendly, and down-to-earth. She did not speak down to me as a patient, but she made a comfortable effort to connect from the beginning. Gaining my trust over several weeks she was able to start showing me some things no one ever took the time to extract. She found me at the precipice of a terrible situation and worked me back from the ledge. Her input to Zack, along with his personable and empathetic personality, finally got me on medications that actually have improved my situation more than I could have ever imagined. The combination of her therapy and the medications have me, for the first time in decades, recognizing a hope for the future. All I can say is if you are that person who has lost hope and feels as though you have no purpose, let the Thriveworks team have a chance to show you a you even you didn't know existed. Without hyperbole I can honestly say I owe my life going forward to Kristy and Zack.

After working with Zack for a year I would say that he is very dependable and does show concern for his patients. There is never any problem with following hospital policy. Always a good man to have on your team.

Zacks a wonderful guy to see. He really listens to all your concerns and explains your treatment options in detail. Anyone that sees him is going to feel comfortable talking to him and not have that feeling as if your talking to a stranger.

I've dealt with severe anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember, and have seen multiple providers to try and get control of my emotions. I thought I was a lost cause until I found Zack. He was the first "medicine guy" that I met with that actually got me! He has a calming demeanor and had me very comfortable from the very first appointment. He's easy to work with and actually cares about how I'm feeling! Seeing Zack was the best decision I could have made. Now I'm feeling much better and finally feel like I can breathe. Thank you Zack and Thriveworks for all you do!

I would like to thank you for helping out a family member in need. North Little Rock isn't far away and that made everything easy for a depression/anxiety patient. Office was easy to get to.

Ms. Tenethrea Buffington is the best! I went in telling her that I didn't believe in coaching/therapy, well I was wrong. She help me in my difficult situation and I could not be more happy with where I stand with it.
