Grief, a journey you do not need to go through alone
At Restored Purpose Counseling in Plantation, FL, our licensed therapists provide compassionate grief counseling for individuals throughout the Fort Lauderdale area. We create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can process loss at your own pace and begin to find your footing again.
Types of Grief We Support
- Bereavement and loss of a loved one
- Anticipatory grief (loss of someone who is seriously ill)
- Grief following divorce or relationship loss
- Grief tied to eating disorder recovery (loss of behaviors, identity shifts)
- Ambiguous loss — grief without a clear ending
- Grief in the context of trauma
- Life transition grief — loss of career, role, or chapter of life
Our therapists are trained in evidence-based grief modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and somatic approaches that honor grief as a whole-body experience. We don't rush healing — we walk alongside you through it.
For clients whose grief intersects with eating disorders, trauma, or anxiety, our multidisciplinary team provides truly integrated support across every dimension of recovery.

Real Answers to the Questions Most People Search Before Calling
How do I know if I need grief counseling?
If grief is interfering with your daily life, relationships, sleep, or ability to function — or if you simply want support as you navigate loss — grief counseling can help. You don't need to be in crisis to reach out.
How long does grief therapy typically last?
There's no set timeline. Some clients find significant relief in 8–12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll work with you to set goals and adjust the pace as you go.
Do you offer grief counseling for children and teens?
Yes. We work with children, teens, and adults ages 7 and up. Our therapists are experienced in helping younger clients understand and express grief in developmentally appropriate ways.
Can I do grief counseling virtually?
Yes. We offer secure telehealth sessions throughout Florida, so you can receive quality support from wherever you are.
Do you accept insurance for grief counseling?
Yes, Restored Purpose works with many major insurance providers. Contact our team at (407) 594-7511 to verify your specific coverage before your first appointment.
