### Supporting Your Journey Through Grief

Grief is a deeply personal experience, and finding the right support during this difficult time is crucial. Our **Grief Counseling Intake Form** is designed to help mental health professionals understand your unique situation, loss history, and current needs with sensitivity and care.

This comprehensive intake form gathers essential information about the nature of your loss, your emotional and physical well-being, existing coping mechanisms, and available support systems. By completing this form before your first counseling session, you allow your therapist to prepare thoughtfully and create a personalized treatment plan that honors your experience.

#### Who This Template Is For

With conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on the type of loss experienced, ensuring clients only answer relevant questions. The form can be completed at their own pace, from the comfort of home, before their first appointment.

Once submitted, responses can automatically flow into your practice management system, CRM, or Google Sheets through native integrations. Use **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automate follow-up workflows—send appointment confirmations, pre-session resources, or schedule check-in reminders without manual effort.
