Grief and Loss Counseling in Honeoye, NY.

There are at least 40 different kinds of loss that people can experience during their lives; the grief reaction to loss is normal and natural. Often, the loss people experience is isolated and intellectualized. But people do not have broken heads, they have broken hearts. I am a certified grief recovery specialist through the internationally established Grief Recovery Institute. In addressing loss issues, I offer emotional safety and validation as well as providing a structured process for healing. No one "gets over" an emotional loss. Instead, through the grief recovery process, one can learn how to survive a loss and potentially thrive.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than emotional pain.

I help you both feel, explore, and understand the loss and the grief you experienced as well as strategies and ways to explore and ehance your sense of safety and your ability to feel better, and function better in all alrwas of your personal, family, and work life. Begin with safety and comfort and move to depth, insight, strength and growth. A healing, growing expanding process.

My approach to Grief & Loss Therapy is deeply empathetic and tailored to the unique needs of individuals navigating the complexities of reproductive experiences. Recognizing that grief and loss in the realm of reproductive health can be profoundly impactful, I provide a safe and supportive space for clients to explore and process their emotions. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic modalities and drawing upon a holistic understanding of mental well-being, my aim is to help clients cultivate resilience, find meaning in their experiences, and ultimately foster healing and growth in the face of grief and loss.

Grief and loss inevitably leads to anger & sadness. Not surprisingly, it also can lead to depression and feelings of guilt. The latter is called irrational guilt, as most of us lack magical powers to cure dying people. Even if they mean the world to us. I would encourage my clients to express feeling of guilt and anger often unconscious related to the loss. The anger is often at the person who died. Of course, this is irrational anger in most cases, as we all are going to die. The anger is over losing someone we love, value. I would use clinical interventions that usher in the grieving process. This fosters coming to terms with and an acceptance of the loss.

Experiencing grief and loss is difficult and often heartbreaking. We can experience grief when we lose a loved one, pet, or significant other. We can even experience grief and loss when we lose a job or hobby that we love. Without support, grief and loss can leave you feeling hopeless. We are often pressured to "hurry up and get over it" in our busy society, and I am here to tell you that the grieving process has no time line and is individual to each person and loss. Allow me to help you through this hard time with empathy and experience.

The stages of grief and loss individuals spend different lengths of time to express and achieve hope and acceptance. In nurturing counseling sessions I assist clients in understanding the stages of grief and in adopting healthy ways of expressing their anger and pain. When clients are depressed and in mourning it is so necessary for them to have some one to share their feelings with and learn healthy tools for an opportunity to achieve peace.

When we lose someone we love, it feels like we have lost a part of ourselves. Something within us has been torn out, leaving a hole that we easily imagine will never heal. The pain can be profound, the feelings of helplessness, or regret, or guilt overwhelming. Having a partnership where you can talk through these feelings can make a huge difference not only in how quickly and how well you are able to move through the process of grieving, but also how you ultimately are able to frame the experience and your memories of the person lost into the narrative of your own self and life as you move forward. What you carry with you afterward is just as important as surviving the hurt of the loss.

Everyone experiences grief differently. And everyone expresses grief differently. My first priority is to understand the very personal meaning of each loss that is shared with me. I strive to provide an environment that feels safe for sharing the feelings of a deep personal loss. Affirming the validity of someone's emotional pain can lead to profound healing.
