Long Beach, California woman cries in mental health counseling session

Counseling for grief, loss, and life changes

Like psychotherapy, counseling can help you cope with difficulties and recognize your emotional blind spots. But where psychotherapy tends to focus on alleviating symptoms and repairing deep wounds, counseling usually takes a less clinical focus. You might work on finding a solution to a particular problem, coping with grief and loss, adjusting to important life changes, or gaining insight and stimulating personal growth.

Our licensed therapists are qualified to provide both counseling and psychotherapy, and are experienced at helping people develop personal goals and milestones for treatment. We also know when a person just needs to feel heard. Sometimes we all need a safe space to open up without fear of judgment, and to take the time to listen to the voice of our own inner wisdom.
