Offering grief counseling and other therapeutic services in Chicago for 40 years Grief counselingProfessional developmentWelcome to the Center for Grief Recovery and Therapeutic Services
Respecting and coming to know the pain and confusion of grief will set the stage for the way forward. We suffer through it all, accept it as best as possible, remember our connection, and go on. Mourning leads back into life.
The Center’s therapeutic services go beyond grief and mourning. As our name suggests, we have evolved since our founding in 1985 to respond to the need for various kinds of therapeutic work in addition to bereavement counseling. Since then, we have worked with hundreds of people in individual and group sessions. We offer therapies with application to a broad band of personal growth work. Clients receive assistance developing their own unique agenda for inner repair, strengthening and expanding. Through our work with many clients, and our own studies into the powers of human potential, we believe in the possibilities of imagination and creativity to facilitate such personal work. Working together, we see our clients’ experiences of regaining balance and moving forward become more accessible and prolonged, helping them heal from grief and grow into a more grounded and vital life.
