Athough grief is often intense and may feel like depression, it normally eases over time. When you become stuck in deep sadness, regret, and an inability to move on or when there was a trauma associated with the death, I can help you resolve the grief and find peace. I use gentle compassionate strategies to support your acceptance and return to a more satisfying life. You will learn to let go, to resolve regrets, and to enjoy life again.

There are multiple forms of loss, ranging from lost friendship to to the loss of a loved one, which could be a pet or a person. I would encourage open communication about feelings and strongly believe that an individual's feelings should not be judged or criticized. I would also encourage the individual to allow sufficient time to recover from their loss; there is no "right" amount of time to process a loss.

I did mymasters thesis on how to work with homicide victim survivors and I have worked with many peoiple who have lost family members to violence. I have also worked with people who have lost spouses and children. IN my work with military I have worked with combat vets who have experienced traumatic losses.While therapy cannot totally remove the pain of grief, I have helped people to heal and function better as a result.

Everyone experiences grief and loss differently. Clients jump around from being in denial, to sadness, to anger, to depression. My ultimate goal is to assist my client to get to a place of acceptance around the loss. The loss can be anything from a loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a friend, or even a loss of a certain time of their lives. No matter what the loss is, I believe it is important to go through the grieving process. When these feelings are shoved under the rug and not dealt with, it eventually will come out and is often directed at people they love the most or leads to unhealthy behaviors and addictions.

We generally think of grief and loss in relation to the death of people we have been close with, such as family, friends, coworkers and others with whom we have been close. While death is certainly the worst kind of loss we are called upon to face and grieve over, there are other meaningful losses we must endure and find a way to grieve toward resolution and inner peace. Such losses as the breakup of significant relationships, through divorce or separation from any loved one certainly call for grieving. Loss of one’s job can amount to a meaningful loss that requires grieving to go on with a new and constructive adjustment. The loss of one’s health can also present serious challenges to keepin....

Losing a loved one is probably the most difficult challenge we can endure. Our entire perspective on life can change in an instant. Your greif experience is unique to you becuase only you knew the nuances of your relationship to the person you lost. I'd be honored to walk with you through this time as you explore your emotions, thoughts and feelings. I can also support you by recommending books and support group options as needed.
Deborah Mestas, M.A.,L.C.P.C
The loss of someone we love leaves us feeling intense emotional pain. We often feel lost in our sorrow, misunderstood and disconnected from others. The experience of grief is a natural expression of the pain we experience after the loss of a loved one. Having a compassionate person to explore your thoughts and feelings with can be the healing element that is needed to move on in life. In your own time at your own pace. There is no shame in needing someone who can share your loss with you and assist with finding a way to move forward and embrace life again. Everyone experiences grief in their own way and will heal in their own time. There is hope and life after loss.
Nathaniel Hope, LCSW, LLC
Therapy for the treatment of grief is simply about listening. No matter what the circumstances are, losing a loved one is never easy. But when the emotions begin to hinder our ability to function, it is very helpful to come to a safe environment and talk about the loss.
So often I find that when someone is affected by a loss it can be made worse by setting too high a standard for themselves. We feel we should be able to let go of the pain and move on but that only causes more stress and sadness and doesn't allow for real acceptance and growth. Together we can process the loss, make some sense of it, and begin to rebuild and find new healthy routines.

I have worked with grief and loss extensively. I have both professional experience and personal experience with grief and loss. My own journey has helped me better understand the issues involved in coping with loss. When we lose someone close, we are forever changed and we have to cope with and develop a changed sense of who we are. This can be challenging and, eventually, rewarding. I can help you understand the feelings and the grief process and help you make healthy choices as you rebuild your life and move forward.

Experiencing loss can bring up so many emotions. Our society does not always make the necessary room for grief that is often needed, causing us to feel we should quickly 'move past it'. Whether it is the death of a loved one, the end of a job/career, a dear pet, a relationship or divorce, having a safe place for support during your time of grief is important. I will guide you through understanding your grief so you can move towards healing your heart and return to balance in a new way.

When grieving we can experience a wide range of emotions. "Giving language" to these emotions - through speaking or writing - helps us make sense of our feelings and brings relief from the heaviness of grief. You will receive non-judgmental support and direction as you mourn your loss or losses. It is possible to find a new way to be - not to leave behind what you had, but to bring the best of your past into your future. A joyful life and a meaningful life can still be yours. Grief affects us physically as well as emotionally and spiritually. Grief counseling can help restore your body, mind and spirit. You can sleep better, feel less anxiety and fear and have more hope for your future

I take a very person oriented approach to working with individuals coping with grief and loss issues. My priority is my client's safety and well-being. I will work with my clients to process and accept whatever triggers are producing the grief and loss emotions. Then I will assist them in gaining an understanding and attaching a meaning to why certain events have occurred. It is important to also learn and utilize coping skills to move through the grief and loss continuum.
