Grief and Loss Counseling in Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, Ph.D approaches issues of grief & loss through the lens of innovation----instead of growing the same neural networks responsible for the pain in weekly therapy sessions, we reset the brain to move forward quicker and efficiently by working on the stuck limbic system so as to empower the person with more success and traction. For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you don’t include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

I understand what you are going through because I specialize in grief and complicated grief.

While it is a personalized journey it also has unstructured stages that research has show we must all face in the process. With me you will have a tender space to heal and grow. Together we can create greater meaning in loss. Call today

Losing someone or something is incredibly hard. I believe that one of the great myths that we are told is simply that “time heals all wounds.” Time can actually reinforce the pain of loss and it is important to mourn and grieve that which we no longer have. I am honored to partner with my clients on their journey through healing and finding peace after a loss. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

A lot of people run from grief work - I don't. I understand the pain of loss and I will help you through the darkness. Grief is a very profound and personal experience. The pain of loss never goes away completely - that person will always be an important part of your life and experience. I am happy to help you walk through that pain so that you are not alone in your grief.

When individuals deal with a tremendous loss in their lives, their grief can lead them in a downward spiral of addiction to escape the pain of confronting the loss. Our team would ensure the grief is discussed and addressed before moving forward with any addictions issues. Afterwards our treatment plan would always be cognizant of this underlying issue in moving forward.

We help our client to heal and process grief and loss through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Everyone grieves differently, but it can be very beneficial to receive support from loved ones and therapists as you cope with grief and loss. Collaborative therapy, Emotionally-Focused therapy, grief psychoeducation, and techniques such as EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) can be especially helpful.

Loss is an inevitable part of life. The way we respond to a loss is defined as grief. People grieve in various ways. If you are struggling with a recent loss and feel difficulty getting back to your old self, if you are concerned about a family member’s reaction to a loss, grief counseling can help. In sessions, we will talk about the grief process and what to expect so you can track where you are in the process. I will help you “get closure” with the loved one you lost, cherish the experiences you would like to keep and let go of the rest. We will explore the ways in which you can carry the meaningful experiences of the relationship with you while you move on and find joy in life.

Grief and loss are the intensely personal emotions that occur after losing a loved one. Grief can also occur after the loss of a pregnancy, a divorce, a terminal diagnosis, the loss of a beloved pet, and changes in your health or the health of a loved one. Even the simplest tasks can trigger feelings of grief after experiencing a loss making everyday life feel impossible. Through empathy and the safe environment you'll receive in therapy, you can feel supported as you move through all of the emotions that grief brings with it. You can move towards acceptance and discover what your life looks like after loss.

Like many professionals I am astounded that psychiatrists have added grief to their huge list of "disorders." We all grieve differently and at a different pace. Like a physical wound, grief cannot be rushed or "cured." The best we can do is to keep the emotional wound clean, dry, and freshly bandaged, then watch the passage of time work its miracle.

As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, I’ve supported many men through the grief process. If you’re grieving, I will provide a supportive space for you to process your emotions. Because grief is a normal part of being human, I can’t take it away or rush you through it. However, I can help you identify barriers to grief, and help you prevent the grief process from becoming stuck. I know grief professionally. But I also know grief personally. Losing one of my best friends and my beloved grandparents was hard enough, but facing the untimely death of my father was, and is, a uniquely painful experience. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you process your grief.

Change is the one constant of life. Change involves both losses to grieve and transitions to process through. Here at Gateway we help you in a caring and compassionate way to move into the grief and process through it. It is in the transition times of life were we tend to get lost and have problems. This is because we are struggling to let go of the old normal and accept the new normal. Don't struggle needlessly alone. We at Gateway are here to help you.

I work with clients who are grieving the loss of a loved one, the loss of a beloved pet, and the loss of a relationship because of a divorce or some other reason. I provide a compassionate, safe space for my clients to grieve and work through their process at their own pace. I show my clients genuine empathy which allows them to let the walls down and get to the root cause of their grief; thereby allowing them to accept the loss and find healthy coping mechanisms to work through the loss. I have provided grief counseling in both the private sitting as well as in residential treatment centers.
