How does Depression, Grief + Sadness counselling work at Bliss?
If you’re experiencing any of the symptoms listed above, counselling can help. As no two situations are the same, each treatment plan will be unique and customized to you and your goals.
- We’ll begin by getting you matched with the perfect therapist who you “click” with. Each Bliss therapist is highly-trained and compassionate, so you can rest easy knowing you’re in reliable, expert hands.
- Then, you’ll get started with your initial session. During this appointment (virtual or in-person), you’ll share your struggles with your therapist and the changes you would like to see. You’ll leave with a better understanding of yourself and the roots of your grief, depression or sadness.
- From here, you and your therapist will create a custom path to restoring hope and finding access to joy again. After each session, you’ll leave feeling clarity and a sense of relief.
- You and your therapist will work together to determine how many sessions will be supportive of your healing. Once you’ve established a relationship with your therapist, you’ll be able to restart therapy whenever you need added support.
