Grief and Loss Counseling in Cypress, TX.

We tend to only think of grief as being associated with death. But allowing yourself to grieve is an important part of healing from any loss. Some of the biggest losses are losses of ideals, beliefs, or what you thought you had. The loss of the belief that you had an honest and open marriage, for example, can be devastating and traumatic. Talking about this, instead of holding in your pain, is the only way to heal. I'd be honored to join you in this painful journey to help you find hope.

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.

While there can be common traits we share when we experience grief, we each experience loss in a personal way. Some people become overwhelmed by tears and sadness. Some may feel disconnected. We can experience grief with the death of a loved one, in the process of divorce; or even in relation to a significant change in our life. Many people have experienced loss in these difficult economic times, forced to change careers that once sustained them and their families. Many people must work past a time when their parents may have been able to retire and live a life of leisure. The strongest thing someone can do is to reach out for help if they are stuck in a cycle of grief and despair.

I work with clients to better understand their unique grieving process and identify what they need to cope and heal through grief. I provide a supportive space for my clients to process grief, whether they are looking for someone to listen or looking to implement healthy coping skills and work towards solutions.

I am trained as a Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) provider by the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University. The structured protocol addresses "stuck grief" that is marked by an attachment fissure that causes rumination, excessive guilt, loss of former interests and hopelessness 6 months and longer (sometimes many years) after a significant loss. PGDT is evidence-based and has a over a 70 percent efficacy rate for movement into adaptive grief.

Did you know that we face many different kinds of losses in our lives? Some are huge, permanent, and debilitating. Others are hard to navigate, or changes that we never wanted. No matter who or what your loss has been about, there's a healthy way to grieve and keep moving forward. I would love to be part of your journey finding that way forward. Grief counseling is a good time to connect with someone else who is open and willing to talk about the loss and all of your feelings connected with it. It's also a chance to feel like someone else understands and sees how you are hurting.

We help our clients come to terms with the loss of a loved one or a deeply personal and affecting event. Our clients come to us for many different reasons. The most common ones are: overcoming symptoms of stress and anxiety, improving marital and family relationships, and parenting challenges. Regardless of your situation, seeking professional help with IFW is the first best step to taking back control over your life.

The hole you are feeling inside you is understandable and expected. It is hard to keep going, and you've talked with your family and friends so much it's hard to feel like that isn't all you talk about. Let me guide you through this time. I will listen and help you come to terms with this loss. There is no reason to continue to isolate and feel alone.
