Grief Counseling
Grief Counseling
Grief counseling is a type of psychotherapy that helps clients deal with the death of a family member or a loved one, including a spouse, partner, friend, or colleague. One of the principles of grief counseling is that the grief process varies from person to person and is contingent on the relationship dynamic between the client and the deceased. Given this adaptation to change, the main goal of grief counseling is to help clientele work through the stages of grief so that clients can redefine a sense of normalcy within daily functioning.
Testimonials
“I’ve enjoyed talking to Angela throughout the last three years. She has helped me through the “hardest points” of my life. Anytime I need someone to talk to, she’s there, and I’m grateful to her for that.”
“Dr. Jackson, to me, is a GOD sent! I had a friend who does therapy with Angela, and she knew I was seeking treatment. This friend of mine told me about Angela and how awesome she was, easy to talk to, honest, and overall, just the best. But I still came into therapy scared and was a train wreck because I was all over the place while living a new sobriety life. After waiting to have my first appt, I was blown away. Dr. Jackson and I had our 1-hour session, and I felt comfortable, welcomed, and relieved. I am not one to stick with a therapist because they pull things out of me that I sure did not want to face, but Dr. Jackson was very easy to talk to; she did not sugarcoat anything and was straightforward. She does not judge, and I knew then that I had found the right therapist because of all these things combined. Dr. Jackson created a treatment plan for me, including different problems I was struggling in, and when we have our visits, we employ all of these in our sessions. Dr. Jackson is a Christian woman who has helped me overcome many obstacles, including “grief, trauma, and domestic violence.” She has also helped me ‘build my self-esteem.” During my visits, she asks me to process things I say to her, which helps me have a new outlook on my problems, which helps me a lot!” “I enjoy my appointments with Angela because I feel connected to her as my therapist. I look forward to our time because she makes me feel like a strong person and reminds me that there is hope and a brighter tomorrow, and for that, I am beyond thankful that GOD put me in the right place at the right time when I met the person who first told me about Dr. Jackson and I have stayed with her faithfully ever since. So, Angela, I am Thankful for you, and I am truly Blessed that you have helped give me a positive outlook on my life again.”
“In two years of a therapeutic relationship with Dr. Jackson, she has helped me process a “lifetime of trauma,” including every form of abuse you can think of. When I first met Dr. Jackson, I was exiting an abusive relationship that cost me literally everything I had, including my children, to Child Protective Services. I was desperate, I was insecure, I was co-dependent, self-loathing, lonely, broken, and I didn’t know how to cope with life. I was lost. In the midst of some of my darkest days, Dr. Jackson helped bring me to push through. Not only did she help me to push through, but she also helped me to find confidence in who I am, the strength to make it through the trials, and self-love that I had never thought possible. She taught me how to succeed at anything I set my mind to, including parenting. She’s helped me to become responsible for my actions while teaching me to “extend grace to myself.” She has helped me have a therapeutic relationship I had never experienced.”
