Grief is normal, and it is a painful part of life that we all must face. Sometimes you can feel really alone, or feel like you will never get back to normal again. Maybe you lost a loved one suddenly, and this has been traumatic. Or perhaps you struggled for a long time caring for an ailing family member. And there are many other types of grief. We can help you to navigate the journey of healing from loss so that the experience enriches your life rather than taking a piece of you.

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 dont include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

Grief can impact emotions, relationships, sleep, concentration, and a person’s sense of meaning. Counseling offers a supportive space to process loss at one’s own pace, without pressure to “move on.” Clients often experience relief from overwhelming emotions, greater clarity and self-understanding, and practical tools for coping day to day. Over time, many feel less alone, more grounded, and better able to re-engage with life and relationships while honoring what has been lost.

Grief is a powerful and unique process. There are numerous examples of how grief and loss can show up in your life, but often grief is in response to a deep and profound loss that you have experienced. This can show up as losing your loved one; your spouse, your close friend, your colleague, your beloved pet, or it can be the loss of your job, your marriage, your relationship, your home, or some other aspect of your identity. Love, patience, and compassion are vital to your grief process. Being able to navigate your grief process on your own can be overwhelming and that is when it is helpful to have someone to work with to support you and help you heal by being a witness to your process.
