Grief changes everything. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, a sense of safety, or a future you expected, the weight of loss can feel isolating and overwhelming. At Daybreak Counseling, we provide grief and loss counseling in Des Moines that honors your experience and supports healing without pressure or timelines.
There is no “right way” to grieve. We meet you where you are.
Grief is not linear. It may come in waves of sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or longing. Some days may feel manageable, while others feel unexpectedly heavy. Grief can also show up physically through fatigue, sleep changes, or difficulty concentrating.
Loss can take many forms, including death, divorce, miscarriage, illness, trauma, or major life transitions.
Grief counseling offers a supportive space to process emotions, make meaning of loss, and reconnect with life in ways that feel authentic to you. Therapy does not aim to “fix” grief, but to help you carry it with more support, understanding, and self-compassion.
Many clients find that counseling helps reduce isolation and creates room for both remembrance and healing.
Our clinicians use gentle, evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s needs.
Grief looks different at every age, and our care reflects those differences.
Each person’s grief is respected and supported at their own pace.
You may find grief counseling helpful if you are experiencing:
Support can make grief feel less lonely and more manageable.
At Daybreak Counseling, we believe grief deserves patience, presence, and compassion. Our therapists offer steady support without rushing healing or minimizing your loss.
We focus on helping individuals and families find meaning, resilience, and connection while honoring what has been lost.
If you or your child are navigating grief, you don’t have to do it alone. Support is available, and healing can happen alongside remembrance.
