Grief Counseling and Bereavement Services

INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING

We use both traditional and experiential methods to help individuals find their own growth path. Our Licensed clinicians help people face emotionally intense issues and life transitions within a respectful and safe environment. A warm relationship develops with our experienced Psychologists and Social Workers. The course of therapy is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

THERAPY FOR PROFESSIONALS

More than half of our clients are therapists, or graduate students in the therapeutic professions. As professionals, our own treatment experiences become significant as a model for helping others.

GROUP THERAPY

Participants learn about the grieving process, and help themselves form a bridge to the future. Persons who have suffered the loss of a significant relationship: parent, sibling, spouse, child, or other close relative or friend, are invited to share with others. All of our groups are led by professionals, and we do not offer self-help groups.

Although grief is a normal human experience, each person's grief is subtly different. Our group helps you understand your loss and express the many feelings that come with change. Let us help you regain your balance as you learn to re-engage in life in a new way.

1263 W. Loyola, Chicago, IL 60626.
One individual session prior to entrance into the group.
Fee is $30 per session.

COUPLES COUNSELING

Many couples are stressed by emotionally intense situations. Others simply drift apart or grow apart. It can be very difficult to keep a strong emotional bond in our fast-paced, ever-changing society. Our staff are sensitive to the various complex issues that create distance within intimate relationships, and we work to help couples continue growing.

CONSULTATION & SUPERVISION

We offer professionals an opportunity to obtain consultation or supervision from our Licensed Clinical Psychologists, Licensed Clinical Social Workers and Certified Music Therapist. All of our clinicians have extensive training and experience in helping professionals achieve their full potential. The complexities of ever-changing organizations, complicated clients, and expanded professional responsibilities, forces us to seek more help in keeping our balance at work in order to feel good about our work identity.

SPEAKERS BUREAU

Our staff has expertise in many different areas. We offer training and speakers regarding a wide variety of topics on grief and bereavement. We also lead trainings on administration and supervision as well as newer therapeutic methods such as Guided Imagery. We have speakers on other topics such as Caregiving for the Elderly, Transpersonal Psychology, and Adolescents.

COMMUNITY SERVICES

As a nonprofit agency we provide some free community services. The most recent example is this website which will have more and more offerings for the professional and lay communities. Check out our sections: Events Calendar, Essay of the Month, and Resource Lists.
