Grief and Loss Counseling in Newnan, GA.

I have advanced training and experience in helping people deal with traumatic loss and grief including loss through suicide, accident or needing to put a pet to sleep. My approach helps you reduce disturbing images and bad dreams related to the loss, reduce feelings of guilt, reduce a sense of hopelessness about your future, and reconnect to happy images and memories of the person or pet you lost. I have also helped people with job loss and relationship endings. I also incorporate a six step model for accommodating loss and EMDR Therapy to help reduce the pain of the grief process.

Walking through grief recovery can be a life long journey, we focus on the healing and positive memories to help bring peace. Grief can come from losing someone suddenly, long term illness, suicide loss, pregnancy loss and others. Whatever the loss, you are not alone. This is a safe space to help you heal. Take your time, be patient with yourself and understand that you are not alone. Reach out for support duering you processing and healing journey.

Grief and loss touch all of us in time. None of us are immune to it. You may be greiving the loss of a parent, a spouse, a child, or other family member or a friend. You may also be grieving the loss of a beloved pet. Or you may find yourself grieving in ANTICIPATION of the loss of any of these mentioned. Greiving is an individual journey. Sometimes it lasts but a few weeks, but sometimes it lasts well over a year. Support from friends and family is very important, and you are encouraged to seek out those who offer such support. But if you feel you need something more than friends and family are able to give, I'd welcome the opportunity to help.

Working through the stages of grief: Anger, Denial, Bargaining, Sadness, and Acceptance can be very helpful. Being able to share your emotions with another person throughout the process can be very healing. Using EMDR ( eye movement, desensitization,reprocessing) technique for the traumatic parts of your grief can also be very beneficial. I am here to help you through that process.

Our approach to helping people who are dealing with grief and loss is to educate them about the process of attaining true healing. The process is tailor-made to address the specific needs of each individual experiencing grief and loss. Scripture, prayer and proven evidence-based therapy techniques (and medication, if needed) are central to our approach at The Fort Christian Psychiatric Center.

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.
