Grief Counseling in Altamonte Springs
Find Compassionate Support Through Grief and Loss
What Is Grief and Loss?
Grief is a natural yet complex emotional response to losing someone or something meaningful. Loss can take many forms — the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a career shift, or the loss of identity or stability.
At New Light Counseling in Altamonte Springs, we understand that grief is deeply personal. There’s no “right” way to grieve — but you don’t have to do it alone.
Common signs of grief may include:
Deep sadness or emotional numbness
Difficulty concentrating or sleeping
Irritability, guilt, anger, or regret
Feeling disconnected or isolated
Anxiety or fear about the future
Overwhelm or emotional shutdown
You are not broken — you are grieving. And with the right support, healing is possible.
Our Approach to Grief Counseling
At New Light Counseling, we specialize in grief therapy that honors your individual experience and supports healing through connection, understanding, and evidence-based methods. We believe healing happens in relationship — where you feel safe, heard, and validated.
Whether your loss is recent or long-standing, our therapists use a personalized, trauma-informed approach that may include:
Narrative Therapy — to help you tell your story and find meaning after loss
Somatic and Mindfulness Techniques — to reconnect with your body and regulate overwhelming emotions
Relational and Attachment-Focused Work — to support healing through connection and safety
Compassionate Talk Therapy — to explore your feelings honestly in a non-judgmental space
We honor your identity, values, and unique grief journey, ensuring therapy is collaborative and paced to you.
