You don’t have to go through it alone
Loss comes in many forms—the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, leaving your home country, or losing a job. In a city like Dubai, where people are often far from family and expected to "keep going," grief and transition can feel especially isolating. At American Wellness Center, we offer a compassionate space where you can process your feelings, adjust to change, and begin to heal at your own pace.
Who This Is For
- Adults in Dubai dealing with the death of a loved one or family member
- Individuals going through divorce or separation
- Expats struggling with homesickness, relocation, or cultural adjustment
- People who have lost a job, retirement role, or sense of purpose
- Anyone facing major life transitions, such as parenthood or empty nesting
- Those feeling stuck, numb, or overwhelmed by change
What We Address
- Bereavement: Emotional pain and adjustment after the loss of a loved one
- Divorce or Separation Grief: Coping with the end of a significant relationship
- Relocation & Cultural Grief: Missing home, community, or identity after moving
- Loss of Identity or Role: When changes in work or family shift your sense of self
- Anticipatory Grief: Mourning future losses such as a terminal illness or aging parent
- Delayed or Suppressed Grief: Emotional numbness or avoidance long after a loss
Our Approach to Care
At AWC, we meet you where you are. Our therapists use supportive and individualized approaches:
- Grief Counseling & Narrative Therapy: To help you make meaning of your experience
- Complicated Grief Interventions: For when healing feels stuck or prolonged
- Mindfulness & Grounding Techniques: To stay centered amid emotional waves
- CBT for Loss: To manage guilt, regret, or self-blame
- Life Transition Coaching: To guide you through new roles or chapters with clarity
- Emotion-Focused Therapy: To gently explore unresolved or conflicting feelings
- Our goal is never to rush your process, but to walk beside you as you move through it.
Grief Without a Timeline
Grief doesn’t always follow a clear path. For some, emotional pain appears immediately; for others, it lingers quietly for years. Studies show that unresolved grief can lead to depression, physical health issues, and difficulty forming new emotional bonds. Therapeutic support not only helps process the loss but also reduces feelings of isolation—especially in expat communities where grief often goes unseen.
