Grief Counseling

Nothing is the same. Life keeps moving at its pace, but you feel stuck in another world. A slow world, a quiet world, an overwhelming world. You wish you could go back in time before it happened, but you know that’s impossible.

Weary Griever, your heart is broken.

Some days are better than others. Other days, you feel too sensitive for life. Tearful one moment, angry the next, and then…nothing at all. Work and friends are a welcome distraction. They mean well, but can’t possibly understand what you’re going through. You’re thankful they still try.

You know grief is a process.

but you never imagined you could hurt this much. You want to find someone you can trust, that will be patient with you, but also know when to give a loving push. I’m Sally, a grief counselor in Atlanta, GA and I help grievers witness the unbearable pain of loss. Grief needs expression. Working through our relationship, you can find strength in the darkness and learn to hear the possibilities calling out for you from this new life you never asked for. Whatever the loss—the death of a loved one, an old self, a career, a job, or your health—a full rich life is possible. It’s simply different from the one you were expecting.

Everyone grieves differently.

I will sit with you in the depth and intensity of it all. Bring your rage, your uncertainty, your tears, and your loss of (or strengthened) faith. Come as you are, in grief counseling, I make space for your process. I am a focused and patient presence, meeting you on your unique path through grief, while noticing avoidance or sticky places. I am trauma informed and will bring my expertise as needed.

My clients feel a sense of renewal over time.

We typically meet weekly online or in my Atlanta, GA office so you have consistent support. As we make space for the unknown and conflicting parts of life to exist together, a new kind of gentle acceptance and authenticity emerges. Life begins to change. You feel more alive within it. You even start dreaming about the future again. 

If you are ready to take the first step on the path toward renewal, contact me for a free 15 minute consultation at 404.272.4522 or fill out my contact form to start working through loss and embracing your new life.
