Grief and Loss Counseling in St. Petersburg, FL.

I have a BA in Religious Studies and use this knowledge to enhance healing and recovery from loss. Using a Christian approach with deep relaxation and guided spiritual visualization you can find reason and meaning in living your life fully again. You will have the added benefit of a brain health assessment to target how your brain is responding to grief. Then we target our holistic approach to treatment,. Moving through the pain of loss takes time but you can find meaning and purpose in moving forward. Whether your loss was expected or unexpected these specialized approaches can assist you through your pain to living a full life again.

When grief and loss have gone on much longer than is typical, it often indicates there is some unacknowledged idea or feeling that has been preventing the person from grieving fully and they thus feel stuck. Though hard to bear, grief and loss are a natural and necessary part of life. Given a space in which to share one's pains and doubts, a client can go through his or her emotions and begin the healing process. This often results in greater understanding and a sense of relief.

Grief can be quite a lonely experience that one can feel at the very core, and there are no pills that one can take to manage its persistent, aggravating pain. You wish to take that pain away, but nothing seems to help. I have helped many people work through their grief experiences, including 16 years providing grief therapy to hospice patients and their families.

COVID-19 Stress is inescapable. Grief is the natural response to the loss we experience. Quite often our losses occur “too early” or are “too severe” or are “too many” at once to process healthily. Loss that seems impossible to “get over” along with more loss close behind can become a deep spiral downward. This feels overwhelming & reactions can begin to have a life of their own. My therapeutic care, coupled with my own personal understanding through loss, I assist clients in safe & timely ways to face these sometimes debilitating experiences. Using trauma reduction therapies (EMDR and RRT) clients are helped to gain breathing room and a healthy perspective usually within 1 to 3 sessions.

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.

Grief and loss can occur from losing from death a significant person in our lives. However it can also be a loss of a job, or a relationship from a breakup. Grief and loss is different for everyone. There are 5 stages of grief in which we typically go through when experiencing grief. Each person will feel them in various ways and at different times. I utilize an existential approach to assist someone that is going through grief. Using a personalized approach is always necessary as each person is uniquely different in going through this challenging part of life. The goal is acceptance and peace.

The grieving process is intensely personal and intensely painful. It can feel as if the world has gone crazy and is spinning away without you. How do you make sense of anything in the face of such pain? The simplest tasks can feel impossible. Going to the grocery store, visiting the bank, walking the dog, and even making your morning coffee can trigger a heart-wrenching ache. With mindfulness and support, you CAN begin to heal and weave your loss into the tapestry of your life. You will laugh again, dream again, and love again.

There is a reasonable amount of time for you to grieve your loss. However, if you find you cannot come out from under the cloud of grieving and return to a functioning life, you need a healing in your soul (mind and emotions) so that you can function and live in peace. This ministry is successful in bringing healing and peace to your soul. Do not wait to receive your deliverance from your constant grief. Contact me today!
