Comprehensive Grief Counseling at the Counseling Corner, since 1998
Grief is a universal yet profoundly personal experience—like an ocean, sometimes calm and reflective, sometimes stormy and overwhelming. Each loss we encounter shapes the contours of our emotional landscape uniquely. At The Counseling Corner, we recognize the many forms grief takes and compassionately guide grieving adults, teens, parents, and children toward hope, resilience, and healing. If you're searching for "grief therapists near me," our local and virtual grief support services are here for you throughout Central Florida and beyond.
Understanding and Navigating the Journey of Grief
Grief Counseling Services for the Loss of a Loved One 🌊
The loss of a loved one profoundly shakes our foundations. Adults face overwhelming responsibilities while navigating deep sorrow. Teens, forming their identities, may feel isolated and misunderstood. Children often express grief through behaviors rather than words.
Services Offered:
Individual Adult Counseling
Teen Counseling
Grief Coaching
Family Therapy
Child and Play Therapy
EMDR and ART for Traumatic Grief
Understanding various types of grief can help in the healing journey.
Child Grief Counseling and Play Therapy 🧸
Children experience grief uniquely based on their developmental stage. Preschoolers might see death as temporary, asking when Grandma will "wake up" again. Older children may initially perceive death as distant until personal loss disrupts their security.
Helpful Rituals:
Memory scrapbooks
Lighting candles
Storytelling sessions
Our counselors empower parents to guide their children, emphasizing emotional openness and healthy expression.
Grief Counseling for Divorce and Relationship Break-ups 💔
Relationship endings fracture emotional stability, causing uncertainties in finances and parenting, feelings of rejection, and anger. Our supportive counselors help rebuild self-esteem, renew identity, and discover empowering new paths forward.
Counseling for Job Loss and Identity Shifts 💼
Job loss or identity shifts leave individuals feeling adrift. Counseling strengthens resilience, restores confidence, and illuminates fresh future possibilities—like rediscovering the North Star after a stormy night.
Support for Grief Due to Illness and Health Loss 🏥
Chronic illness or sudden health loss can feel like internal betrayal. We provide therapeutic support fostering emotional stability, acceptance, and adaptation, empowering families to face these changes together.
Grief from Loss of a Cherished Dream 🌠
Losing cherished dreams creates profound sorrow. Counseling supports grieving lost goals and gently encourages new aspirations filled with purpose and hope.
Grief from Moving or Friendship Loss 🏡
Relocation or friendship loss disrupts emotional connections, causing isolation. Our counselors help rebuild relationships, fostering emotional openness and resilience.
Grief from Empty Nest Syndrome 🕊️
An empty nest evokes deep sadness mixed with pride. Family therapy helps parents rediscover identities, renew relationships, and embrace new pursuits.
Understanding Disenfranchised Grief 🤐
Disenfranchised grief occurs when a loss isn't socially recognized, leaving individuals feeling isolated.
Examples include:
Miscarriage or infertility
Pet loss
Loss of a secret relationship
We offer compassionate validation, enabling open emotional expression.
Support for Traumatic Grief and Suicide Loss 🌩️
Traumatic grief stems from sudden, unexpected losses, overwhelming individuals with distress.
Examples include:
Unexpected accidental deaths
Sudden losses due to violence or suicide
Our trauma-informed counselors help navigate emotions, honoring loved ones while healing.
Ambiguous Loss 🌫️
Ambiguous loss involves grief without clear closure.
Examples include:
A loved one physically present but psychologically absent (e.g., dementia)
Missing family members or unresolved disappearances
Our therapists foster understanding, acceptance, and emotional peace.
Grief from Unmet Expectations for a Child 🌱
Parents grieve deeply when a child’s life path differs profoundly from expectations, feeling loss of envisioned futures. Counseling fosters acceptance and meaningful new ways to connect and support their child.
