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. Contact Grey Matters International, Inc now at kevin@kevinflemingphd.com or 877-606-6161.

We do not grieve unless we have loved. Grief and loss can manifest in so many ways. It may even come up out of no where. With grief and loss therapy, support is there and you do not feel alone. Grief is difficult to cope with on the best of days, but the holidays bring in a different kind of sadness. After all, it’s supposed to be a joyful time, and any memories we may have of ourselves and our loved ones celebrating the holidays might feel particularly painful. We might not feel like there’s a place for our grief during the holidays, but grief doesn’t take a break. And contrary to what we might think, both can coexist. It’s just a matter of finding the right balance.

Handling loss sometimes feels impossible. Learning to live without the lost loved one oftentimes leads to feelings of hopelessness and fear of the unknown. I work with my clients to celebrate the ones we have lost as well as find ways to continue. I make sure that we don't go too fast in trying to "get over" the pain of loss. It's important to both celebrate our loved ones while we learn to move on without them.

Losses are painful. It takes time to recover. Therapy offers a path to heal from losses. In Grief and loss therapy you are allowed to tell your story in a supportive atmosphere. You are then able to use creative media of art, journaling, poetry, and collage making in processing the loss and identify steps in moving to acceptance. you will be able to examine the cycle of grief and loss, which involves the shock, denial, sadness, anger turn inward and outward, resolution and acceptance. you will co-construct new paths to rebuild as you gain acceptance of the loss.

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.

What is grief and loss? How do I know if its time to get help? When you experience loss your immune system is greatly affected. This is when a person not only grieves but can physically fall apart. There are many stages of grief and the sooner you reach out you can start to heal. You do not have to go at this alone, whether your pain is from a divorce, a death or a any kind of loss we can help you.

It is very common for individuals to seek psychotherapy in times of grief. The death of a loved one is perhaps the single most intensive emotional experience an individual must face.We understand that sometimes there is little hope and trust because the road to recovery has been exhausting full of short-lived success. ART is dedicated to find an individualized treatment that closely fits the unique circumstances of each client; we do not apply "one size fits all" type of therapeutic treatment.

Everyone feels Grief & Loss deeply and profoundly at some time or other in life. I don't believe grief is something that needs to be "gotten over." Instead, I encourage you to learn to be curious about how profound the connection is that is causing the psychic pain. Oftentimes, lingering in that experience provides substantial understanding and relief.

In our world, we don't learn how to grieve. Our grief, when unexpressed, easily can lead to depression and anger. How many times have we heard people say "it's in the past...get over it."? Doesnt work that way. I can help you understand these feelings and begin to free yourself to live your life. Grieving is a gift....It's just part of every life.

When you are going through a loss or grieving the death of someone you love it may seem like talking about it won't help. It won't bring the person back but having a caring and compassionate person to talk to about it does bring comfort. Many times the people we would usually lean on in tough times are going through their own grief, which is why therapy can help.
