Grief Therapy in Charleston & Mount Pleasant, SC

Grief is a deeply personal experience, and everyone navigates it differently. While I love helping clients with all forms of grief, I hold a special place for those who have recently lost a furry companion. Losing a beloved pet can feel overwhelming, and having support during this time can make a significant difference.

If you are processing the loss of a pet, I encourage you to reach out. Even a few sessions can provide the space and guidance needed to begin healing. I am connected with Mount Pleasant Animal Hospital and often work closely with them to support clients in the Charleston and Mount Pleasant community.

Understanding Grief

Grief can be confusing because it brings a wide range of emotions that are sometimes hard to understand or accept. You might experience:

• Sadness

• Anger

• Guilt or shame

• Numbness

Grieving can also make you feel stuck or as if you are a burden to those around you. These reactions are normal and part of the process of adjusting to loss. It’s important to remember that healing takes time and that each person’s journey is unique.

Therapy provides a safe space to process your emotions without judgment, helping you make sense of your loss and gradually regain balance.

My Approach to Grief Therapy

In my work with clients experiencing grief, I use a Person-Centered approach, providing unconditional positive regard and empathy. This creates a safe environment where you can explore your emotions openly.

For those coping with pet loss, even a brief period of support can be transformative. Therapy helps clients honor their furry companions, process their grief, and reconnect with daily life.

I also help clients:

• Explore complex emotions

• Identify coping strategies

• Move toward acceptance and emotional balance

Grief therapy is not about “getting over” a loss; it’s about learning to live with it and integrate it into your life while finding a sense of peace.
