Grief and Loss Counseling in Springtown, TX.

Grief & Loss is different for everyone. We all handle grief/loss in a variety of ways and its my role to support you and offer comfort in your toughest times. Throughout our counseling process, I will meet you where you are at. I will provide you with the additional support, hope, and strength that you need to help guide you to a place of healing. I will provide a listening ear with a nonjudgmental attitude to help you through this difficult time in your life.

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.

Sometimes, when you're upset about a major loss in your life - loss of a relative, a relationship, or even a beloved pet - other people can't understand that you can't just "Get over it!" I will help you deal with the situation so you can move on with your life. By listening to what you say in a non-judgmental manner, I can help you find a solution that works for you, and gets you back into 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.

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.

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.

Grief is a powerful emotion which can color everything you see. Being able to process the loss and create for yourself a "new" life, incorporating the loss into your new life story is a path I will walk with you. Loss may change how you view yourself and your world. You may feel "things will never be the same"--but your life is enriched with the experience of the one you loved and lost. We will weave that into your new idea of your life and how you move on with living.

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.
