Grief and Loss Counseling in York, NY.

Have you experienced an unexpected and/or devastating loss in your life? Are you dealing with a divorce? Death of a loved one? Loss of relationships? These events can question someone’s sense of security, trust, self confidence, and relationships. Loss is unavoidable in life, while grief is the healing process. Throughout the complicated journey of grief and loss Modern Therapy Services is able help individuals, children, couples, and families heal.

Grief and loss are a powerful experience with many aspects and dimensions. No two people go through it the same. And we have much loss in our lives, besides our loved ones, and each is a mourning experience. Loss is part of life, but it doesn't have to be only a negative experince. When worked with properly, such experiences can be transformative, and fuel your growth.

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.

Has it been difficult for you to cope with a painful loss in your life? Are you feeling like you should have been "over" it by now, but it still feels like the loss was just yesterday? I will work with you to explore and identify what barriers there are that could be preventing you from moving in a forward direction in your life. Coping with loss doesn't mean forgetting who or what is gone, nor does it necessarily mean going back to the way life was before it happened. Through the help of my treatment, we will work on your being able to live a fulfilling and meaningful life today as you work toward coming to terms with the difficult changes that you have been through.

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 is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

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.

Loss is a part of life, but when you are grieving, it can seem overwhelming and endless. You are not alone. I can help you to get through this time in your life, providing warmth, safety, and caring to give you the support that you need in this trying time. You will never forget - but in processing your loss in a supportive environment, your grief will loosen its hold over you so that you can move forward in your life.
