Understanding the different forms of grief is crucial to providing effective grief and loss treatment in NJ. At Horizon Healing Centers, we recognize and address various types of grief:
Acute Grief
Acute grief is the immediate reaction following a loss. This period can be marked by intense emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness. While this type of grief is intense, it generally lessens over time as individuals begin to adjust to life without the person or situation they’ve lost.
Complicated Grief
Complicated grief occurs when the feelings of loss are debilitating and do not improve even as time passes. Individuals experiencing complicated grief may find daily functioning difficult and feel stuck in their grief. Professional intervention is often necessary to process these complex emotions.
Anticipatory Grief
This type of grief occurs before an expected loss, such as a terminal illness diagnosis. Although painful, anticipatory grief allows individuals to prepare emotionally for impending loss and helps facilitate meaningful closure or goodbyes.
Traumatic Loss
Traumatic loss results from a sudden, unexpected, or violent event that shatters an individual’s sense of safety and predictability. This form of grief often overlaps with symptoms of trauma and can include anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or hyper-vigilance.
Horizon Healing Centers employs specialized approaches to address these diverse grief experiences, tailoring treatment to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances.

Journeying through the complexities of grief can be challenging, and compassionate guidance can be the key to navigating it. Horizon Healing Centers offers a variety of evidence-based treatments for individuals experiencing the multifaceted effects of grief.
One-on-one counseling is an ideal format for exploring thoughts and emotions. Therapists at Horizon Healing Centers can use approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reframe negative thought processes and identify coping skills.
Group counseling can be a valuable opportunity to connect with others who have experienced a similar type of loss and build community. Storytelling and active listening can be extremely empowering and therapeutic for clients and are often the key to shattering the sense of isolation that can be a key component of grief.
Outpatient programs are an ideal choice for clients who want to address their grief while maintaining their daily responsibilities. Clients can receive regular therapy sessions and access professional support to process grief at their own pace.
IOPs are designed to offer a more robust level of support than traditional outpatient care. Clients attend frequent therapy sessions and participate in structured group work, which can be ideal for those who don’t need hospitalization but would benefit from additional support.
PHPs are designed to provide additional levels of care for clients who need more support. These days, programs offer intensive therapy, psychoeducation, and the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. Participants return home in the evenings.
Medication can be a vital part of the healing journey, and while it is not a treatment for grief itself, it can be a useful tool for managing symptoms related to grief, such as depression or anxiety. Psychiatrists at Horizon Healing Centers work with clients to identify the right medication to help with symptoms as needed.
Understanding the broader context of grief and trauma can illuminate the importance of seeking professional support:
