What Is Grief Counseling?

Grief is a natural response to loss, but for many, it can become prolonged, debilitating, or entangled with depression, anxiety, or trauma. Grief counseling provides structured clinical support to help individuals process their feelings, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and eventually integrate loss into their life without it defining them. At Tellurian, grief therapy is offered individually and in group settings, with the level of care matched to the intensity of your experience. We treat all forms of grief: loss of a loved one, anticipatory grief, complicated grief disorder (prolonged grief disorder), grief from trauma, and grief tied to major life changes.

Our Grief & Bereavement Programs

Tellurian offers grief support across a full continuum of care. From outpatient individual grief counseling and group therapy to more intensive day treatment and residential treatment for those experiencing more complex and intense grief. Tellurian also offers treatment for grief intertwined with other co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. All levels of care are trauma-informed and culturally sensitive.

Tellurian's grief programs support:

  • Adults experiencing loss of a loved one
  • Those dealing with anticipatory grief (caring for terminally ill loved ones)
  • Survivors of suicide loss
  • Individuals experiencing disenfranchised grief (loss not recognized socially)
  • People dealing with grief following a traumatic event
  • Those whose grief has developed into clinical depression or PTSD

Tellurian offers multiple treatment modalities and interventions including:

  • Adults experiencing loss of a loved one
  • Those dealing with anticipatory grief (caring for terminally ill loved ones)
  • Survivors of suicide loss
  • Individuals experiencing disenfranchised grief (loss not recognized socially)
  • People dealing with grief following a traumatic event
  • Those whose grief has developed into clinical depression or PTSD

At Tellurian, your grief journey starts with a caring intake assessment to understand the nature of your loss and how it's affecting your daily life. You'll work with a licensed counselor on processing your experience, building resilience, and developing a path forward. For those navigating complicated or prolonged grief, more intensive levels of care are available to provide greater clinical support.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
