Grief and Loss Counseling in Texas

At Relationships Matter Therapy- Texas, we have licensed counselors who provide support during life’s challenging times.

“Grief is a tidal wave that over takes you, smashes down upon you with unimaginable force, sweeps you up into its darkness, where you tumble and crash against unidentifiable surfaces, only to be thrown out on an unknown beach, bruised, reshaped. Grief will make a new person out of you.” -Stephanie Ericsson

Grief and loss can be overwhelming, confusing, and exhausting whether it is from the loss of a loved one, job, relationship, or pet.

Have you experienced the death of a loved one or pet?

Are you looking for someone who understands what you are going through?

Would you like a safe and compassionate place you can talk about what is going?

Are you feeling confused, angry, sad, or alone?

Do you feel like you will never experience joy again?

It is okay to have grief. It is normal to feel distress with the loss of a loved one.

Grief can be an intense experience with a mixture of emotions. The world as you once knew it is no longer the same.  It may be hard to imagine life without your loved one. You may be experiencing fluctuations in your mood and crying more easily or you may have a hard time feeling anything at all. These experiences are a normal part of the grieving process.

We understand what it’s like to experience loss- whether it is the death of a loved one, loss of a job, end of a relationship, or death of a pet. We are here to offer gentle and caring support and a willingness to sit with you through the pain. You don’t have to go through this alone.

Don’t be forced to believe that grieving is a sign of weakness or something to be ashamed of. It is completely normal and more common among the population today than has probably been admitted.

Are you grieving? Let our experienced counselors help you.

Our grief and loss counseling sessions are designed to effectively hold you by the hand and be with you in your sorrow. You’ll benefit from a session with our therapist who will provide a safe place for you to talk about the pain and help you make sense of  what has happened.

At Relationships Matter Therapy, we will help you identify the thought processes that stir painful emotions. By helping you understand the triggers, you’ll be better prepared to handle yourself and your emotions thus helping you feel better. Additionally, your therapist will help you develop skills that will focus your thoughts and attention on the now rather than allowing it wander and dwell on the painful past through a process known as mindfulness.

Other techniques we’ve successfully used in the past to help clients overcome grief include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Somatic Experiencing Therapy which are aimed at helping you work through the painful memories and thoughts.

I am afraid counseling will remind me of the hurtful memories. Will counseling make my grief worse?

Therapy might sound counter intuitive since it will mean you having to revisit the painful experience. However, to effectively work through the pain it is better you let it out rather than lock it in. Our grief therapist specialist will help you in a controlled, thoughtful and patient process so you can gently let go of the pain.

I am in a relationship. Will grief counseling affect my partner?
