What is grief?

Grief is a coping process that follows any type of loss, including the death of a loved one or pet, termination of a job, or the end of a relationship.

While grief is a natural response, people process loss in different and complex ways. For some, the overwhelming emotional, physical, and mental stress of loss can interfere with their responsibilities and quality of life.

Joy Mental Fitness provides personalized support to help you navigate the phases of grief. The behavioral health specialists provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to express your thoughts and feelings and process the impact of loss.

When should I seek help for grief?

Because grief is complex, everyone processes it in their own way. Seek professional support at Joy Mental Fitness if you experience a loss and aren’t sure how to manage your emotions.

The team specializes in therapies that help you navigate the stages of grief, including:

• Denial
• Anger
• Bargaining
• Depression
• Acceptance

You can also find support for anxiety associated with loss, grief, and trauma.

How can I manage grief and loss?

The Mental Joy Fitness team provides grief support in-office and through the online teletherapy platform. Teletherapy ensures you have access to the help you need if you’re overwhelmed by grief and don't feel like you can come into the office.  

The specialists offer a range of grief therapies for individuals and families, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), anger management therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you understand your emotions.

They provide tools to better cope with the impact of loss and help you set goals to move forward. The providers can also recommend resources, like grief support groups, so you won’t feel alone.
