Grief and Loss Counseling in Ohioville, PA.

Grief and loss may take many forms, be it the loss of a loved one or beloved pet, a change in finances/employment/health, or even the breakup of a meaningful relationship. Resolving grief can seem insurmountable, and also become complicated if we avoid the difficult feelings that accompany the grieving process. At New Wilmington Psychotherapy & Counseling we utilize a comprehensive approach to grief and loss. We incorporate helping strategies designed to meet one's individualized needs determined by each unique situation. Approach objectives are to facillitate the expansion of healthy and meaningful ways of experiencing one's self and the world -- the ultimate goal, achieving acceptance.

No matter how much you may want to, you cannot return to your "pre-loss" state--the person you were before the loss. My work with you will center on helping you to adapt to life after the loss. It is important for you to realize that everyone grieves differently, so don't you compare your grief journey to someone else's, and don't let others do it to you. Come in and let's have a talk and we'll see what we can do to make life better for you, and we will laugh while we do it!

Grieving is a normal process filled with pain. Sometimes the process can be made easier by talking to a someone. People who are grieving the loss of a loved one or the loss of a relationship are often confused about the meaning of the loss and have raw emotions just below (or sometimes directly on) the surface. I provide three things: 1) a compassionate place to talk about the loss, 2) ways to figure out what the loss means to you, and 3) ways to take the loving memories of the person in your heart while you manage to move on with life with a healthy sadness rather than intense despair.

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.
