Grief and Loss Counseling in Geneva, NY.

The stages of grief and loss individuals spend different lengths of time to express and achieve hope and acceptance. In nurturing counseling sessions I assist clients in understanding the stages of grief and in adopting healthy ways of expressing their anger and pain. When clients are depressed and in mourning it is so necessary for them to have some one to share their feelings with and learn healthy tools for an opportunity to achieve peace.

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.

I provide services that support people in loss of previous life style, loss of their own ability due to a disability, and loss of someone they were close to or a colleague. Grief is different for everyone, but one of the most popular models arranges the 5 stages of grief as Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance. People take different amounts of time to get through these stages of try to skip over them but they are natural. Since everyone’s grieving is specific to them, my method is adjusted to accommodate my clients. My hope is to support you through this process to build coping skills, listen and be an extra resource.

Grief and loss are painful experiences we all face at some point in our lives as part of the human condition. No matter when it occurs, it can be shocking to experience such intense emotional and physical pain in the body. Sometimes it's a chronic dull pain that holds on and sometimes it can return as if it was just yesterday. Clients have found that having a safe place to allow their feelings to be expressed with support can be healing and can help in moving through the pain. Gradually, clients share that over time they are able to find ways to adjust to life without their loved one. It is important to remember that everyone's needs are unique in this process.

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 emotional pain.

Everyone experiences grief differently. And everyone expresses grief differently. My first priority is to understand the very personal meaning of each loss that is shared with me. I strive to provide an environment that feels safe for sharing the feelings of a deep personal loss. Affirming the validity of someone's emotional pain can lead to profound healing.

When we lose someone we love, it feels like we have lost a part of ourselves. Something within us has been torn out, leaving a hole that we easily imagine will never heal. The pain can be profound, the feelings of helplessness, or regret, or guilt overwhelming. Having a partnership where you can talk through these feelings can make a huge difference not only in how quickly and how well you are able to move through the process of grieving, but also how you ultimately are able to frame the experience and your memories of the person lost into the narrative of your own self and life as you move forward. What you carry with you afterward is just as important as surviving the hurt of the loss.

I understand that grief can feel overwhelming and isolating. It’s more than just an emotional response; it’s a complex journey that varies for everyone. Whether you’re navigating the loss of a loved one or facing significant life changes, I’m here to listen and provide the support you need. Together, we can create a personalized plan that honors your feelings and guides you toward healing, helping you find hope and peace in your time of need.

Despite what most think, there is no expected cycle of grief. One can feel all the cycles at once or all of the sudden be overwhelmed with a cycle they thought they already worked through. We will be patient with our clients while offering support, kindness, and the space to heal. TCC offers many treatment modalities to support grief counseling. We will discuss our modalities and help you to decide on an approach that best meets your needs.

There are at least 40 different kinds of loss that people can experience during their lives; the grief reaction to loss is normal and natural. Often, the loss people experience is isolated and intellectualized. But people do not have broken heads, they have broken hearts. I am a certified grief recovery specialist through the internationally established Grief Recovery Institute. In addressing loss issues, I offer emotional safety and validation as well as providing a structured process for healing. No one "gets over" an emotional loss. Instead, through the grief recovery process, one can learn how to survive a loss and potentially thrive.

Often clients reach out to a psychotherapist when there is a death or separation in a relationship. Chris provides Grief and Loss counseling and Psychotherapy where empathy and caring help clients get emotional closure to help them move forward. A sudden death and loss can causes a person to have increased anxiety and depression and limit functioning. Chris has worked with numerous clients to heal and move forward through effective counseling and psychotherapy in New York. Clients benefit from talking out their feelings where I help them get closure and provide the skills to move on and enjoy life again.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.
