Grief Counseling
Grief is a valid and natural process. Hospice SLO County offers supportive grief counseling to anyone in our community who is grieving a death, whether you've experienced the impending or actual death of someone close to you.
Anticipatory grief counseling is also available to support individuals facing their death or the death of a loved one, any time after diagnosis.
Our scope of counseling includes:
- Sudden loss
- Death after prolonged illness
- Death by suicide
- Death by overdose
- Pregnancy loss regardless of reason
- Pet or animal companion loss
During grief counseling sessions, counselors typically provide emotional support to clients experiencing both impending and actual loss of a loved one. Counselors also provide education and resource information around grief, healing, and ways to navigate emotions inherent in losing someone close to them.
Grief counselors are available for adults, children, and families in-person, via Zoom, or via phone.
In-person counseling is available at our San Luis Obispo offices Monday through Friday, in Cambria on Tuesdays, and in Paso Robles on Thursdays. Please call us at 805-544-2266 ext 118 to discuss options.
Our grief counselors bring decades of in-depth grief and bereavement experience to support our clients. With backgrounds in counseling, peer support, spiritual care, end-of-life planning, and education, each counselor draws from a diverse range of tools to help clients explore loss, reframe struggles, and shift towards acceptance and peace. We provide in-house training for new counselors to complement and expand on independently pursued certifications with experts like Dr. Alan Wolfelt and David Kessler.
