Grief and Loss Counseling in Carmel, IN.

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.

My approach to grief counseling involves understanding the five phases of grief and moving towards eventual acceptance. Learning to understand, cope with, express and accept ones feelings about a lost loved one is the goal of grief and loss therapy. I also help clients to find ways to come to some kind of resolution of the loss and its impact on his or her life.

At some time in our lives, grief and loss will become a part of our experience. Knowing where to turn for help and support can make the difference between a complete and sustaining healing process and a protracted period of emotional pain and suffering. At Chrysalis Connections, LLC, we understand how difficult it can be to process great loss and grief and strive to offer clients a safe and supportive environment to consider and heal from the emotional, mental, and spiritual woundings that often result during times of loss. If your season of loss is becoming difficult to bear, consider setting an appointment to assess your specific needs.

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.
