Grief and Loss Counseling in New Albany, OH.

TLCounseling Services address Greif & Loss by utilizing the Elisabeth Kubler- Ross identified five linear stages of grief that most people are now familiar with. In addition we also utilized Psychologist J. W. Worden stage-based model for coping with the death of a loved one. He called his model the Four Tasks of Mourning. While bereavement/grief is not defined as a disorder it can lead to preexisting conditions like major depression, or repercussions associated with the trauma of a death, such as acute stress when caring for a loved one who it terminally ill and it can induce acute depression when someone you love suddenly dies. These therapies have proven to be the most effective.

Grief therapy provides essential emotional support, helping individuals process and validate their feelings of loss in a safe, non-judgmental space. It offers coping strategies to manage grief's challenges, preventing long-term mental health issues like depression or anxiety. Therapy can also assist in navigating strained relationships and finding new meaning and purpose after a loss, ultimately facilitating healing and acceptance.

Grief and loss is a personal and unique journey. One that I am intimately familiar with personally and am willing to join others in their journey so they do not have to do it alone. I will walk a client through the pain, the memories, and the loss and guide them to a place of healing. Faith and belief in God can be an important part of this time in life and I look for opportunities to give hope when I can.

Grief and loss counseling is a specialized form of therapy designed to assist those who are enduring the emotional and psychological pain associated with the passing of a loved one or other significant losses. It provides a secure and compassionate space for individuals to process their feelings, memories, and experiences related to the loss, guiding them through the bereavement process and assisting them in finding emotional coping mechanisms.

Loss can be from the loss of a loved one through illness or death. Loss can also be associated with a change in life situation; for example a divorce or separation, a loss of a job or career, or a loss associated with change in life due to a decline in physical or mental functioning. These life changing events often become a time to reflect upon the overall meaning in life. It is a time that many people turn toward spiritual beliefs that comfort them and encourage them through these difficult times. This is an area that I will explore with you. If spirituality is not a part of your life experience I will look for beliefs that can sustain and support you through your specific crisis.

I look to provide an emotional safe, non-judgmental atmosphere for those who have experienced loss and are in the grieving process. I will look to provide you whatever you may need emotionally at this time. I believe a major part of grief therapy is simply allowing the client to feel safe and nurtured exactly where they are in the grieving process.

Grief and loss is an every day part of life. No one is taught how to grieve and it is an individualized process. Dealing with loss is one of the most stressful and difficult times in a persons life. Our hearts are broken and our lives are disrupted. There is no right or wrong way to grieve but sometimes a counselor or therapist can help the person find healthy ways to cope with the pain, find peace, and reach a point of acceptance and healing. My focus is to be completely present with each person, listen to their experiences, educate, and help them to understand their emotions and feelings without judgement.

When clients come to me suffering from grief and loss they all want to know the same thing: "How long will this last?" Unfortunately, there is no way to speed up the grieving process but there are many things we can do to slow it down or put it on hold. No one wants to do that. Nobody wants to grieve longer than necessary. It is my job as a clinician to provide a safe, accepting, compassionate environment for clients to talk about and feel the loss so they can begin to put the pieces back together and start to move forward. I've helped many clients do this over the years and would be honored to help as you walk through yours.

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.

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.
