What is consultation?
Consultation is not a therapy service. It is a short series of formal conversations, no more than three sessions, with a grief expert who can offer guidance on a particular topic. Counseling is a deeper, longer process of working with a therapist to gain insight and build coping skills. Call us to ask about current consultation fees.
