Grief and Loss Counseling in Meridian Hills, 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.

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.

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.

Grief and loss can be experienced after a major life event like divorce, or the death of someone close to you. The time after a major loss of any kind is exceedingly difficult.

Everyone grieves differently. When we work through your grieving process, you will not be rushed, and we will tailor it to your needs specifically.

You are hurting. Grief is physical, it's intense, and it's non-stop. It's also misunderstood and mismanaged in our culture which makes this heartbreak you are feeling even harder to bear.

I will help you navigate this life-altering thing step by step so that you can move forward and find joy again. Please reach out and continue in your journey of healing.

I have worked with many families who have gone through a time of grief and loss. Whether it is a death in the family or a divorce (which is commonly seen as a type of loss), I try to help individuals and families work through all the emotions that come along, from anger, sadness, and denial to feeling able to move forward in a new chapter in life. I also recommend support groups for all types of grief and loss - one of the best ways to heal is to be able to hear and relate to others who are in a similar situation.

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.
