Grief Counseling in Alexandria, LA and Natchitoches, LA
Helping you find your way through the pain of loss.
Grief is not just one feeling. It’s a bunch of feelings all rolled into one.
These feelings can include:
- – Shock
- – Denial
- – Pain
- – Depression
- – Guilt
- – Anger
- – Sadness
- – Anxiety
- – Regret
- – Confusion
- – Or fear to name a few.
Somedays you may be able to make it through the day. Other days it feels like your world is collapsing and it’s hard to breathe. Grief is not a problem that requires a solution. It is a natural response to death and loss.
We grieve because we love. And amid grief, what we need most is understanding, compassion, validation, and finding a way through the pain.
Helping You Through Loss
Someone you loved is no longer here. And it feels as if a piece of you has been ripped out and you are uncertain of how to move forward.
Losing someone is hard. Trying to find your way through the pain of loss can be even harder. But, you don’t have to walk the path of grief alone. In fact, you shouldn’t.
Grief looks different for each person who experiences it. But, being able to talk about it with a caring grief counselor can help you find your way through.

Grief Counseling in Alexandria, LA, and Natchitoches, LA Can Help You Heal
We need to express our grief. The more we avoid it and the pain it brings, the more it shows up in unexpected ways.
The most important thing to do when you are going through the pain of loss is to not grieve alone. Staying connected to others during this time is vital. When we are in pain, we often want to isolate ourselves from the world around us. Yet, one of the best things we can do is to lean into the support in our lives. Getting help from a grief counselor can make a world of difference.
At Be Inspired Counseling & Consulting, our counselors are here to help you find meaning and hope again. Grief counseling can help navigate life as you now know it. From finding ways to focus on strategies to help you get through the day-to-day, to figuring how to get through important events like holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries, we will walk with you. The emotions you experience can change on an hourly or daily basis, but you don’t have to struggle alone. We will help get you through the grieving process, together.
