Frequently Asked Questions About Grief Counseling
Get answers to common questions about grief counseling therapy in San Rafael, CA.
How long does grief counseling typically last?
Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and neither does grief counseling. Some clients find relief in 8-12 sessions, while others benefit from longer support—especially with complicated grief or multiple losses. We work at your pace, with no pressure to 'move on' before you're ready.
Is it normal to still grieve after months or years?
Absolutely. There's no 'right' timeline for grief. Waves of grief can resurface at anniversaries, holidays, or unexpected moments for years. Seeking support isn't a sign of weakness—it's recognition that you're dealing with something profound that deserves attention.
Do you help with grief beyond death?
Yes. Grief accompanies many losses: divorce, estrangement, job loss, health changes, infertility, pet loss, or losing aspects of yourself or your life. All grief is valid. I help with any loss that's affecting your wellbeing and sense of meaning.
