Grief and Loss Counseling in Pompano Beach, FL.

When you are going through a loss or grieving the death of someone you love it may seem like talking about it won't help. It won't bring the person back but having a caring and compassionate person to talk to about it does bring comfort. Many times the people we would usually lean on in tough times are going through their own grief, which is why therapy can help.

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.

Clients will be able to face their feelings of grief and loss and recognize their impact in their lives. They will be empowered to find hope and the courage to walk through the process of healing and restoration, while effectively dealing with underline issues that may interfere with their ability to heal. Clients will find the courage to live again and celebrate everything that makes them who they are!

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.

With my experience in ministry, in counseling, and in life-coaching, I’ve helped men work through the complicated emotions around grief and loss. As men we feel pressure to be a “rock” for everyone else. Then our wives tell us to open up and feel our feelings. But do they really want to see us fall apart? Like many things, the truth is somewhere in the middle. Chances are that you’ve bravely put your feelings on hold to care for others, and regardless of what the world says, there’s love and nobility in that. And at the same time, you need a place to be real and work through the pain. If you’re ready to take the next step and face what needs to be faced, man to man, I’m here to help.

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.

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.

As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, I’ve supported many men through the grief process. If you’re grieving, I will provide a supportive space for you to process your emotions. Because grief is a normal part of being human, I can’t take it away or rush you through it. However, I can help you identify barriers to grief, and help you prevent the grief process from becoming stuck. I know grief professionally. But I also know grief personally. Losing one of my best friends and my beloved grandparents was hard enough, but facing the untimely death of my father was, and is, a uniquely painful experience. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you process your grief.

My therapeutic approach to grief and loss is deeply rooted in compassion and personalized support. Everyone experiences grief & loss differently, and thus, my approach is unique to each individual & their experience with grief & loss. Navigating the complexities of bereavement can be difficult. There are 5 stages of grief and there is no set time limit. Diana will make you feel safe and give you the space to explore your unique feelings associated with bereavement.

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 help individuals cope with loosing a loved one or loosing someone who was an important part of their life. I work using Elizabeth Kubler-Ross stages of loss and grief; denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I also recognize that grieving is sometimes atypical and we do not react in a way that is expected. Complicated grief is one of my specialties.

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.

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.
