Grief and Loss Counseling in Ocean Ridge, FL.

Our approach to healing from grief and loss integrates humanistic principles, hypnotherapy, and rapid reduction techniques to facilitate profound transformation and restoration of inner balance. We recognize that grief extends beyond the loss of a person and encompasses various facets of life, such as the loss of self, a job, an identity, or a relationship. By combining humanistic therapy, which honors the individual's inherent capacity for growth and self-actualization, with hypnotherapy and rapid reduction techniques, we provide a holistic framework for healing. Rapid Reduction techniques enable individuals to swiftly release agonizing thoughts and emotions and their impact on your life.

Grief and loss can be so difficult to manage and come out of nowhere. When we work together, we will gently learn the about the grief journey you are experiencing. As we learn your life experiences, we may find that some of the distress is rooted in early childhood trauma and attachment wounding. We will welcome all parts of yourself and learn about the challenging messages you may have grown up with that manifested into the distress you feel today. Disordered eating can be a messenger, an alarm telling you that it is time to heal experiences from earlier in life. I am trained in using EMDR, Emotion Focused Therapy and Expressive Arts to help you become your best self.

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.

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.

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.

Like many professionals I am astounded that psychiatrists have added grief to their huge list of "disorders." We all grieve differently and at a different pace. Like a physical wound, grief cannot be rushed or "cured." The best we can do is to keep the emotional wound clean, dry, and freshly bandaged, then watch the passage of time work its miracle.

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.

I work with clients who are grieving the loss of a loved one, the loss of a beloved pet, and the loss of a relationship because of a divorce or some other reason. I provide a compassionate, safe space for my clients to grieve and work through their process at their own pace. I show my clients genuine empathy which allows them to let the walls down and get to the root cause of their grief; thereby allowing them to accept the loss and find healthy coping mechanisms to work through the loss. I have provided grief counseling in both the private sitting as well as in residential treatment centers.

Grief is hard. Grief is natural. Animals grieve. Grief is something we feel deep in our bodies and can be disorienting and destabilizing. Grief brings up questions about who we are, the world, the existence or goodness of God, and purpose and futility of life. Dealing with grief, especially when the loss is traumatic and unexpected, requires a slow and tender space to allow the grief to move through our body and to settle in our hearts with warmth and memory. I am here to help you grieve the loss of your loved one, experience, health , future or even your beloved pet. .

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.

We help our client to heal and process grief and loss through holding safe space for them to work through difficult emotions and experiences in a supportive environment. Everyone grieves differently, but it can be very beneficial to receive support from loved ones and therapists as you cope with grief and loss. Collaborative therapy, Emotionally-Focused therapy, grief psychoeducation, and techniques such as EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) can be especially helpful.

When individuals deal with a tremendous loss in their lives, their grief can lead them in a downward spiral of addiction to escape the pain of confronting the loss. Our team would ensure the grief is discussed and addressed before moving forward with any addictions issues. Afterwards our treatment plan would always be cognizant of this underlying issue in moving forward.

A lot of people run from grief work - I don't. I understand the pain of loss and I will help you through the darkness. Grief is a very profound and personal experience. The pain of loss never goes away completely - that person will always be an important part of your life and experience. I am happy to help you walk through that pain so that you are not alone in your grief.

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.

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.

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.

Everyone feels Grief & Loss deeply and profoundly at some time or other in life. I don't believe grief is something that needs to be "gotten over." Instead, I encourage you to learn to be curious about how profound the connection is that is causing the psychic pain. Oftentimes, lingering in that experience provides substantial understanding and relief.

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.
