Grief Counseling in Detroit, MI

Grief can take many forms, whether from the loss of a loved one, dealing with the unexpected upheaval of a major life change, or the end of a close relationship. While grief is natural, it’s also very painful and it’s important to know that support is available if you need it.

Grief Counseling FAQs

HIDDEN - DO NOT DELETE
Can you do grief counseling online?
At Start My Wellness we offer online grief counseling for residents across Michigan. For residents of Detroit, we offer in-person appointments at our Ferndale clinic with online or hybrid options depending on your schedule and flexibility.
What kind of therapy is best for grief?

Several types of therapy are effective in helping individuals process grief and learn coping strategies to manage it effectively, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Group Therapy. Each person responds differently to therapeutic treatments and your therapist or counselor will work with you to determine the most supportive option for you. If you’re deciding on options, call us today and we’ll be happy to answer any questions to see what the best fit for you is.

How long does grief counseling usually last?

Grief counseling is very dependent on individual needs and circumstances with an average range of 6-20 sessions for complete symptom remission and processing. Factors that impact how long grief counseling lasts include the severity of the loss, the presence of complicated grief, personal history, and available support systems. The purpose of counseling is to help you process loss, learn coping strategies to manage symptoms, and ensure you have the support you need going forward.

What can I do outside of therapy to manage my grief?

There are several ways you can process grief outside of therapy, through introspection, self-care, and remembrance.

  • Introspection: Journaling or mindfulness activities like meditation help you process your emotions neutrally, helping to manage complex emotions and gain insights on your thoughts and feelings.
  • Self-Care: Taking care of your physical and emotional needs.
  • Remembrance: Creating meaningful rituals help you honor your loved one and process your grief constructively, maintaining a sense of connection and purpose throughout the grieving process.
