Grief and Loss Treatment
We offer a program that is very effective in dealing with grief and loss, which impact most people at some time in their lives. Grief and loss can be experienced by individuals in a variety of ways, spanning not only the death of a loved one but also life-altering events such as divorce, career loss, or major health diagnoses. For many people, grief and loss involve a cycle of emotional upheavals that are often non-linear and intensely painful, eventually interfering with our daily lives and overall functioning. When grief becomes complicated or prolonged, specialized, trauma-informed care is essential.
The Beach Cottage at Seasons in Malibu works collaboratively with clients to develop increased, adaptive coping mechanisms, gently process the core pain of loss, and ultimately move beyond emotional upheaval to restore stability and significantly improve your quality of life.
