Compassionate Support for Clients of All Backgrounds: Grief and Loss Therapy in Oakdale, MN

Grief is a strange beast. Rather than being something straightforward to tackle, there is usually a mess of feelings involved. You may have to summon energy at your lowest point to plan a funeral or otherwise figure out what comes next. You may be overwhelmed. But you don’t have to face this loss alone. Here at Summer Counseling, we provide specialized grief and loss therapy to guide individuals and families through the emotional journey of healing after significant loss. Our practice in Oakdale, Minnesota, serves people of any identity and background, ensuring equal support for all.

Understanding the Need for Grief and Loss Therapy

Grief is a natural reaction to death or other life-altering transitions, such as a divorce, job loss, or chronic illness diagnosis. However, some people don’t handle grief well on their own. For those who could use a helping hand, grief therapy offers a dedicated space to process loss. Our grief and loss therapists are trained in trauma-informed care, anti-racist and inclusive practices, and identity-affirming support. Therapy with us may include:

• Emotional processing and validation
• Cognitive and narrative techniques to reframe the loss
• Support for complicated grief or prolonged grief disorder symptoms, such as emotional numbness, isolation, or identity disruption
• Family systems or couples therapy when grief affects relationships

With nearly two decades of trauma-informed bereavement work behind us, our practice is uniquely positioned to address grief and loss in a holistic, empathetic way. Additionally, we offer flexible scheduling and telehealth options to take the stress out of care.
