Grief and Loss Counseling in Medina, OH.

Grief is a common human experience, but many underestimate the impact that loss will have on them. They are not often prepared for the long-term impact of key losses such as death, job loss, divorce, or other life transitions. Some can get stuck in the process, developing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other issues. Counseling allows individuals to finish letting that process and to incorporate their loss into their life stories, redeeming the loss and finding life again in spite of the changes brought into their worlds.

I am sincerely sorry you are suffering. When you lose someone, or something, important, it can be so very painful. I have a very high level of training in helping people with these sorts of pains. You may have lost a person, a relationship, or perhaps a pet? I understand how bad such losses can be. It can feel like no one will ever understand. But you will receive my full attention, support, and high level of both academic and clinical training as we work together to attempt to sensitively, properly process your loss and slowly increase your quality of life. I know you might be feeling at your worst, or even worse than your worst. I hope to have the priveledge of supporting you.

All of us may experience the death of a loved one, loss, or any form of grief. How one deals with a loss is uniquely their own. Undergoing grief counseling can help with the following: Learning to communicate – I can assist with opening up about the source of grief and discussing one’s thoughts and feelings. I can provide a more objective point of view for people who are grieving and help shed light on the situation by leading the conversation to a fruitful resolution.

Grief and loss is a part of so much more than many recognize in every day life. Most folks are familiar with the Kubler-Ross stages, but processing grief is much more than those five stages. There are tasks of mourning that can be explored and expanded with support in therapy. There are secondary losses as a result of an initial loss. Grief impacts how open we feel to new relationships in our lives. I work with clients to help them understand their responses to grief, move through their grief and feelings through expressive arts and verbal processing.

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.
