Grief and Loss Counseling in Oakdale, CA.

Even though every one experiences loss, from the very young and up, each person will experience it differently. As I have found working with individuals and their families who are in the final stage of life, or have lost someone special each loss brings up issues from past losses which can complicate the healing process in grieving. I provide the tools to be able to work with the associated feelings and thoughts rather than isolating the sadness and other negative feelings and thoughts from unresolved issues or overwhelming pain. In my sessions, effective tools allow people to build strength, move forward with life, and express positive memories with less pain and more fulfilling comfort.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

Have you lost someone close to you? Does it seem like the pain just won't stop? Are you having a difficult time making sense of the what has happened? Receiving treatment can help you heal from such a jolting experience. As hard as this journey is, you can find healing and hope. It takes time to heal and not everyone is going to understand the pain that you have experienced. One step at a time.

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.
