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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I provide services that support people in loss of previous life style, loss of their own ability due to a disability, and loss of someone they were close to or a colleague. Grief is different for everyone, but one of the most popular models arranges the 5 stages of grief as Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. People take different amounts of time to get through these stages of try to skip over them but they are natural. Since everyone’s grieving is specific to them, my method is adjusted to accommodate my clients. My hope is to support you through this process to build coping skills, listen and be an extra resource.

Grief is a deeply painful and often lonely and scary process to experience. Depending on the severity of your loss, it can impact every aspect of your life, like a giant ball in the box that is your life. Every time the ball hits the wall of the box it hurts. Over time, the ball gets smaller and doesn't impact every aspect of your life. However, when it does bounce against the wall it hurts just like it did in the beginning. With the right understanding of how grief it ebbs and flows over time and the space to allow it to be expressed, one can begin to heal.
