Grief and Loss Counseling in Carmel, IN.

My approach to grief counseling involves understanding the five phases of grief and moving towards eventual acceptance. Learning to understand, cope with, express and accept ones feelings about a lost loved one is the goal of grief and loss therapy. I also help clients to find ways to come to some kind of resolution of the loss and its impact on his or her life.

At some time in our lives, grief and loss will become a part of our experience. Knowing where to turn for help and support can make the difference between a complete and sustaining healing process and a protracted period of emotional pain and suffering. At Chrysalis Connections, LLC, we understand how difficult it can be to process great loss and grief and strive to offer clients a safe and supportive environment to consider and heal from the emotional, mental, and spiritual woundings that often result during times of loss. If your season of loss is becoming difficult to bear, consider setting an appointment to assess your specific needs.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

Because relationships can be a tremendous source of comfort, my approach to clients with grief and loss is to help them move into the accessibility/openness, responsiveness, and full engagement that characterizes secure attachment with others. To enable clients to shape a coherent sense of a competent self that can deal with existential life issues so they will develop a greater ability to identify and express their needs during times of distress, and more openly and directly reach to others for those needs to be met, and be able to express feelings, wants and needs clearly to those in their life.
