Therapeutic Services

The Grief Club of Minnesota is devoted to delivering exceptional, compassionate care through programs and comprehensive individual and family services for grieving children, teens, young adults, and their caregivers.

Thanks to our generous donors, all services are provided at no cost to our clients by licensed mental health counselors in a nurturing space that fosters healing and promotes healthy grief processing.

Grieving and healing is a process and a lifelong journey.

Grief counseling offers proven benefits, including improved relationships, a lasting connection with the loved one who has died, reduced emotional distress, and positive behavioral changes. While reflecting on grief can be difficult and overwhelming, processing all emotions, even the painful ones, is a vital step toward healing and finding renewed hope.

Individual Counseling

Our philosophy in working individually with clients of all ages is to meet them with understanding, respect, and unwavering support, honoring each unique grief journey. We are committed to helping them navigate the ever-changing emotions they may experience. Recognizing that children and teens grieve developmentally we utilize multiple modalities of therapeutic interventions, including verbal, art and play, to provide compassionate, personalized care. Additionally, we offer support to parents and caregivers as they navigate their own grief while helping their children process theirs, fostering healing for the entire family.

Family Counseling

The death of a family member or close loved one profoundly impacts the balance of the family system. Each individual reacts, processes, and copes in their own unique way. At The Grief Club of Minnesota, our goal is to provide a space where families can share, listen, learn, and heal together. We are dedicated to supporting family members as they navigate the complexities of shifting roles and responsibilities, helping them find strength and connection as they work toward creating a new sense of normalcy.

Peer Grief Support Groups

Grief support groups at The Grief Club utilize a community-based peer support model, and are a safe place for children, teens, young adults, and their families to find hope and connection. Using a philosophy of whole-family care, the groups are intentionally designed to equip individuals and families with coping strategies and communication skills to heal together, while also having the opportunity to normalize feelings and experiences with their peers. All grief support groups are offered at no cost, and the clinical care is provided by licensed mental health professionals.
