Grief and Loss Counseling in Wilson, PA.

We all have experienced loss in our lives. Learning how to deal with those losses and heal from them can often take time. We live in a grief light society. I can help you to set aside time to focus on your feelings and allow yourself to heal. Let me walk with you as you embrace the future with hope and expectancy for good things to come. God's grace is available for the journey.

Losing a loved one is one the most difficult things we can face in life. Our aim is to help you find creative ways to reach a more peaceful place, to increase a sense of closure. We can help you with important aspects of grief. This may include the identification and resolution of guilt, a common emotional response that occurs following a loss. The grief process varies largely in terms of recovery time — that’s why we find it important that no time limits are set.

Losing a loved one is painful. Working through grief is essential for acceptance and healing. We are here to help you work through this difficult time. There are five stages of grief: anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Working through this process takes time. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment for your loss. Whether you have lost a parent, child, spouse, friend, we are here to help you through this difficult time.

You do not have to walk this road alone. When you've lost someone you love, the feelings are often painful and raw; healing does not always happen quickly. It can be hard to tell whether your feelings are normal, and whether you are moving forward or backward. You deserve the support of a therapist who will offer hope without rushing your grieving process. There is no timeline for grief, but if you are feeling stuck, please reach out for help.

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.

To help a client cope through grief and loss, I sometimes use the example of how an oyster forms a pearl. The oyster ingests a grain of sand that causes pain, and which cannot be removed or dissolved (just like we cannot eliminate the pain of missing a loved one). So the oyster begins to encase the grain of sand with layers of calcium-like substance, that makes the grain of sand easier to carry and hold, without the rough edges. Coping through grief and loss can involve learning how to unpack, experience, and adjust how we carry the pain. Therapy can help you soften and encase the pain of loss, forming a "pearl" around it that is easier to carry with you, and perhaps make it more precious.
