Is your mind stuck on overdrive?
Grief is one of the most profound emotions we experience. The loss of a loved one, a relationship, or even a significant life change can bring about a wave of emotions that feel overwhelming. In a world that often pushes us to “move on” quickly, navigating grief and loss can be even more challenging. But healing takes time, and with Lotus Light Counseling, it is possible to work through the pain and find peace again.

- Emotional numbness or feeling disconnected from your surroundings

Why Choose Lotus Light Counseling for Grief & Loss Therapy?
At Lotus Light Counseling, we understand that grief is not a one-size-fits-all experience. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, experienced a major life transition, or are grappling with another form of loss, we are here to guide you through the healing process at your own pace. Our grief and loss therapy is designed to help you process your emotions, honor your loss, and eventually find a path forward. Our approaches to Grief & Loss:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Grief can lead to negative thought patterns that intensify feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Through CBT, we’ll help you identify these patterns and challenge thoughts that may be keeping you stuck in your grief. You’ll learn how to reframe these thoughts and approach your emotions with a healthier perspective.
- Somatic Approach: Grief doesn’t just affect your mind; it can also take a toll on your body. Somatic approaches help you release the physical tension that often accompanies loss. We use grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and gentle movement to help you reconnect with your body and ease the physical burden of grief.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT focuses on accepting the painful feelings that come with grief, rather than avoiding them. Through this approach, you’ll learn how to sit with your emotions, honor your loss, and begin to move forward while still holding space for your memories and experiences.
- Coping Strategies and Self-Compassion: Grief can feel isolating and endless at times. We’ll work with you to develop coping strategies that allow you to manage day-to-day life while working through your grief. You’ll also learn self-compassion practices to remind yourself that it’s okay to grieve in your own time and in your own way.
