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.

Stay connected to what was lost but regain control of your life. You don't want to move forward. You don't want to find that "new normal." You don't want to let go. You also know life will never be the same & need help understanding, moving forward & taking control of what you can control. With work, & time, this can be. You can control the what's next for you. I help those grieving to identify what they are feeling, make sense of the process as best they can, & begin to heal. You will never stop missing your loved one but we will look at ways to heal & also remain connected to what has been lost through memory, reflection, ritual, & expression.

When you think of grief and loss you are typically referring to the loss of loved ones, yet we experience grief when children leave home, loss of career, divorce, end of a relationship, loss of a pet, loss of financial stability, miscarriage, loss of a job, retirement, etc. Coping with loss can be an overwhelming experience which includes many emotions. Avoiding feelings of sadness prolongs the grieving process, which can lead to issues with overall health and well being. Counseling can help you heal, by acknowledging the pain, finding new meaning and moving on in life.

The loss of someone can cause a whirlwind of emotions. Anger. Sadness. Confusion. Loneliness. Survivor's guilt. It can be overwhelming to feel different emotions during different stages of grief. Don't know where to turn or how to cope? Whether your loss is recent or it has been years, grief is a journey in which you may be in need of support with at this time. Give me a call and we can work together through this troubling and sensitive time in your life. We will discuss different coping strategies and how to navigate emotional triggers of your loss.

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.
