Grief and Loss Counseling in Lauderdale Lakes, FL.

Grief counseling helps people cope with grief and mourning following the loss of a loved one or due to major life changes that trigger feelings of grief (i.e. job loss or divorce). It provides a space for individuals to work through and process the complex emotions surrounding loss. Healthy grieving results in remembering the loss with a newfound sense of peace, rather than searing pain.

I am sincerely sorry you are suffering. When you lose someone, or something, important, it can be so very painful. I have a very high level of training in helping people with these sorts of pains. You may have lost a person, a relationship, or perhaps a pet? I understand how bad such losses can be. It can feel like no one will ever understand. But you will receive my full attention, support, and high level of both academic and clinical training as we work together to attempt to sensitively, properly process your loss and slowly increase your quality of life. I know you might be feeling at your worst, or even worse than your worst. I hope to have the priveledge of supporting you.

Losses are painful. It takes time to recover. Therapy offers a path to heal from losses. In Grief and loss therapy you are allowed to tell your story in a supportive atmosphere. You are then able to use creative media of art, journaling, poetry, and collage making in processing the loss and identify steps in moving to acceptance. you will be able to examine the cycle of grief and loss, which involves the shock, denial, sadness, anger turn inward and outward, resolution and acceptance. you will co-construct new paths to rebuild as you gain acceptance of the loss.

Everyone experiences and processes grief in their own way. Having someone to support you through the phases of grief can help you explore and cope with all your feelings. The ability to express feelings related to the loss of a loved one in a safe space will foster healing of your mind and body. I often recommend clients attend a support group in order to understand that they are not alone with their thoughts and feelings.

It is very common for individuals to seek psychotherapy in times of grief. The death of a loved one is perhaps the single most intensive emotional experience an individual must face.We understand that sometimes there is little hope and trust because the road to recovery has been exhausting full of short-lived success. ART is dedicated to find an individualized treatment that closely fits the unique circumstances of each client; we do not apply "one size fits all" type of therapeutic treatment.

Losing someone or something is incredibly hard. I believe that one of the great myths that we are told is simply that “time heals all wounds.” Time can actually reinforce the pain of loss and it is important to mourn and grieve that which we no longer have. I am honored to partner with my clients on their journey through healing and finding peace after a loss. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Grief can be quite a lonely experience that one can feel at the very core, and there are no pills that one can take to manage its persistent, aggravating pain. You wish to take that pain away, but nothing seems to help. I have helped many people work through their grief experiences, including 16 years providing grief therapy to hospice patients and their families.

Grief is inevitable and can come in many ways. It is also personal. An individual and an entire family may be grieving the same object, but each individual may experience the grief differently. Simply put, grief unique for each individual. You may have heard countless stories about individuals struggling to overcome their grief after everyone seems to have moved on and reconciled with their loss.

Change is the one constant of life. Change involves both losses to grieve and transitions to process through. Here at Gateway we help you in a caring and compassionate way to move into the grief and process through it. It is in the transition times of life were we tend to get lost and have problems. This is because we are struggling to let go of the old normal and accept the new normal. Don't struggle needlessly alone. We at Gateway are here to help you.

When dealing with grief and loss, it is important to hold space for the pain that comes with this type of experience. Too often, we are told that we need to "just get over it" without fully understanding and processing the experience. Letting go is not something that happens overnight, and it is never the goal of our work together. Instead we find ways to honor the experience and find gratitude for the ways in which it has enriched our lives. The ultimate goal is to gain a greater understanding for why we had to go through the pain and ultimately find a sense of peace and healing.

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.

Grieving the loss of a person, a pet, or the end of a marriage/relationship, or any other major life circumstance that triggers the feelings of loss can, at times, feel overwhelming. Feelings of loneliness, fear, pain, yearning, anxiety, emptiness, and anger are just some emotions you may be experiencing, which are completely normal. It can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Sometimes it feels like we can't talk to those closest to us about our feelings of grief because they are grieving themselves or we feel like a burden. You do not need to do it alone; I will provide a safe space for you to talk about the loss, process your feelings, and rediscover how to find joy.

You do not have to go at this alone, whether your pain is from a divorce, a death or a any kind of loss we can help you.
