Grief and Loss Counseling in Valdosta, GA.

As a pastor for over 20 years we have dealt with many who have suffered great loss and experienced the grief that can go along with it. Pat also has experience as a hospital chaplain at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. Our process for dealing with grief is to examine the nature of the loss, understand the full implications and help the client to discover means of coping with this loss.

After a personal loss, nothing looks the same. Food loses its flavor, music seems hallow, and nothing satisfies. One person going through grief wrote: "How could things go on when the world had come to an end? How could I go on in this void?" Grief is a universal problem and if not worked through properly can result in crippling, negative consequences in our lives such as depression. There is hope and healing available through Grace-oriented, Biblical counseling.

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.
