Grief and Loss Counseling in Highland Village, TX.

Grief comes in all shapes and sizes. We can help you successfully grieve your loss by completing your relationship to the pain, isolation and loneliness created by the traumatic loss. Creating a loss history can help us identify where current losses may triggering old unresolved loss. We can help you learn to cope and process your loss so that you can move forward in your life.

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.

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.

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 dont include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

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.

We will all experience loss at some point in life. Maybe you're struggling through the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of a job or some other painful experience. You don't have to face it alone. For more than 25 years I've supported individuals and families as they've journeyed through some of the most difficult times in their lives. Whatever your loss, I'll walk with you through the grief process to help you heal and reclaim a sense of peace and hope for the future.

In my Grief and Loss therapy approach, I prioritize establishing a safe and supportive environment that allows clients to navigate the complexities of their emotions. Central to this approach is the validation of their grief, acknowledging the unique and often overwhelming feelings associated with loss. By creating a non-judgmental space, I encourage clients to openly express and process their thoughts and emotions surrounding the loss. This approach emphasizes the importance of honoring the client's grief journey, fostering a therapeutic alliance that respects their pace and individual needs, and facilitating a pathway toward healing and meaning-making in the aftermath of loss.

Experiencing the death of a loved one or facing another form of loss can make you feel like you are surrounded by darkness and loneliness. But the darkness will subside and your grief can be healed. Whether you are grieving alone or your whole family is grieving, our marriage and family therapists and professional counselors will help you better understand the grieving process, develop coping skills that promote healing, and form supportive relationships with others. If your grief has led to depression or a debilitating anxiety then we can help you with that too. And we will do all of this with the gift of faith.
