Grief Counseling, Long Island NY Residents From Experienced Compassionate Bereavement Counselors

Imagine how different your life would be if a highly skilled, objective, and compassionate grief counselor helped you work through your pain ...

It may be time for a change

Grief is a normal reaction to severe loss or trauma of any kind, even though many of us understandably connect the mourning process with people who have experienced the death of a loved one.

In truth, however, feelings of grief, tremendous sorrow, heartache and anguish can be triggered by broad range of traumas – especially in today's complex and troubled times.

In addition to the bereavement pain and mourning associated with a loved one's death, people commonly suffer considerable grief after experiencing other types of losses associated with their jobs, relationships, financial stability, health, family dynamics, safety, and more, and may seek grief counseling as well.

Nassau Guidance & Counseling grief counselors work with individuals who are mourning the death of a friend, child, spouse, partner, co-worker, or parent – a more challenging process due to today’s difficult realities

Consider the following...

• Current state-of-the-art medical technologies enable people to live longer, but costs and legal issues make prolonging – or ending – a loved one's life an even greater hardship.
• Increases in violent deaths and non-traditional familial units have altered the "natural" grieving process and therefore, many survivors feel alone and unable to manage through their pain.
• While schools and other agencies offer grief counseling, they often do so temporarily and for short periods of time. This means that the individuals, children, and families they treat may not be equipped with the skills they need to work through their grief. As a result, they may experience prolonged periods of sadness, anger, frustration, and feelings of hopelessness.

Moreover, parents who have experienced the death of a child remain particularly vulnerable to intense and extended periods of debilitating grief, guilt, and despair. And if untreated, the tremendous strain makes them far more susceptible to additional physical or emotional ailments and substantially increases their odds for separation and divorce.

Additionally, children attempting to cope with the loss of a parent often find it difficult to shake their intense sadness and confusion and may act out their frustration in unhealthy ways.

All of this means that many individuals wind up muddling through their loneliness and misery alone, and never get the help they need or so richly deserve.

So, sometimes they just want to give up, and give in.

If This Sounds Like You, You’re Not Alone

When Experience Counts: We know this because over the last six decades, our Licensed Clinical Psychologists, Marriage and Family Therapists, Clinical Social Workers, and Mental Health Counselors - most of whom have more than 10 years of post-license experience - have provided thousands of people with the help they need to work through the grieving process.

Using the best of traditional psychotherapy, as well as new and emerging techniques, our experienced licensed therapists provide grieving individuals and families with the knowledge, insights, and tools they need to resume their lives.

We’ve Personally Witnessed The Tremendous And Sustainable Gains Our Clients Have Achieved

For example:

• An increased comfort level in openly expressing their grief and dealing more effectively with the wide range of emotions and reactions they’re experiencing.
• Freedom from the unjustified guilt and shame associated with their loved one’s death. During grief counseling, our well trained, empathetic, and non-judgmental Long Island counselors encourage our clients to express themselves openly and shed needless – and unproductive - self-reproach.
• The ability to draw upon their strengths and use positive coping strategies.
• Profoundly altered clarity - one that allows them to see new possibilities and permits them to gradually resume their productive and peaceful lives.

Yet, even though we’ve personally witnessed the tremendous and sustainable gains our clients have achieved over the years, we understand that it’s often hard to arrive at a decision to seek grief counseling, for many reasons.

However, we also recognize that most people find it easier to make difficult decisions like this one when they’re armed with accurate information from a trusted source like Nassau Guidance & Counseling.

"I feel like I am now finally living my life in the present ..."

I have been using Nassau Guidance & Counseling center for the past 16 years. I have been seeing my therapist and she has held my hand and has helped me through so many things in my life. I honestly don't know how I would have done any of it without her guidance, support, and compassion.

Therapy allows you to be in a safe non-judgmental setting which really helped me with my self-esteem. I now also go to couple’s therapy.

She is really helping my husband and myself to communicate with each other and to respect who we are as individuals. I also recently lost my brother to suicide and therapy has been such a big part of helping me move through my grieving process.

I highly recommend Nassau Guidance & Counseling to anyone who is willing to work on themselves and have a better quality of life.
