Grieving after losing a loved one is an emotional and painful process.

Our counseling and creative therapies are available to assist  through the confusing and overwhelming emotions that arise during such a difficult time. We are here to help guide those in need through the healing process, regardless of age or financial situation.

What We Offer

Support
Groups

Although grieving is very much a personal experience, no one should grieve alone. Pathways offers numerous support groups to give clients the opportunity to share their grief experience and find comfort in others who have gone through loss. Groups are tailored for individuals navigating the first six months of grief, widowed persons, families, caregivers, among others.

Creative
Therapies

It’s often challenging to express our emotions during a difficult time. Creative therapies allow clients to form expression beyond words. Pathways counselors use art, play, sand, and music therapies to help clients release their emotions and stress. These techniques are especially effective with children and teens that are less likely to talk about their feelings. 

Support
Events

Throughout the year, Pathways for Grief and Loss offers special events to assist clients and to provide the coping skills that bring relief to a grieving mind and heart.
