Experiencing a loss, whether it is sudden or anticipated, can unleash a whirlwind of emotions that leave you feeling isolated and disconnected from the people and activities that once brought you happiness. During a tumultuous period when your world feels turned upside down, having someone by your side who understands and cares can be an invaluable asset in navigating the journey ahead. Together, we can discover a sense of healing and rediscovery, helping you reconnect with yourself and others. And amidst the process of processing difficult emotions, there lies the potential for unexpected moments of joy to emerge- little sparks that remind us of some of the good in life.

As an experienced Christian Counselor and ordained pastor, I’ve supported many men through the grief process. If you’re grieving, I will provide a supportive space for you to process your emotions. Because grief is a normal part of being human, I can’t take it away or rush you through it. However, I can help you identify barriers to grief, and help you prevent the grief process from becoming stuck. I know grief professionally. But I also know grief personally. Losing one of my best friends and my beloved grandparents was hard enough, but facing the untimely death of my father was, and is, a uniquely painful experience. If given the chance, I would be honored to help you process your grief.

I am trained as a Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy (PGDT) provider by the Center for Complicated Grief at Columbia University. The structured protocol addresses "stuck grief" that is marked by an attachment fissure that causes rumination, excessive guilt, loss of former interests and hopelessness 6 months and longer (sometimes many years) after a significant loss. PGDT is evidence-based and has a over a 70 percent efficacy rate for movement into adaptive grief.

Sometimes, when you're upset about a major loss in your life - loss of a relative, a relationship, or even a beloved pet - other people can't understand that you can't just "Get over it!" I will help you deal with the situation so you can move on with your life. By listening to what you say in a non-judgmental manner, I can help you find a solution that works for you, and gets you back into your life.

Many who grieve find processing their loss in traditional talk therapy to be difficult, even impossible. We have found that neurofeedback can help in the early stages of grief, loss, and trauma to facilitate healing that can eventually lead to more traditional talk therapy or spiritual direction. Neurofeedback gives the brain more flexible options and frees resources to be able to process things that may have been too painful or difficult to talk about.

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 searing pain.

I use a Biblical / Christian approach to grief and loss. I help you encounter Jesus where your pain is so that you not only know, but experience his presence walking with you in your suffering. It's important to be able to give Jesus your feelings and allow him to sit with you while you're feeling them so you can ultimately release them and experience his healing and comfort.

My experience working at Children's Hospital of Dallas and Methodist Hospital has helped me to understand that the stages of grief are not linear, but circular. You can be very sad one day and angry the next. Sometimes, all of the stages in the same day. Learn to work through each of these stages as they occur (and reoccur) to move to a place of greater peace. Many look for relief from the feelings- learn healthier ways to engage the process without relying on unhealthy fixes or coping mechanisms.

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.

Grief is a powerful emotion which can color everything you see. Being able to process the loss and create for yourself a "new" life, incorporating the loss into your new life story is a path I will walk with you. Loss may change how you view yourself and your world. You may feel "things will never be the same"--but your life is enriched with the experience of the one you loved and lost. We will weave that into your new idea of your life and how you move on with living.

If you love, you grieve. Grief is a normal part of life, but too often, we are tempted to rush this experience and get it over with. Melanie believes it is best if grief is acknowledged and dealt with, within a culturally-sensitive approach that's right for you. By working through their feelings of loss, clients can actually grow, and avoid or minimize further complications, such as anger, irritability, tearfulness, distraction, lethargy, self-medicating or other unhealthy coping attempts.

The pain of grief always passes with expression, not avoidance. Counseling grants you permission to grieve. Grieving in the presence of another person is more restorative that grieving alone, but often times friends or family may unknowingly inhibit your grief. Counseling removes all expectations and pressures, allowing your grief to come on its own. Grief counseling makes room for emotions you may not expect, know how to explain, or may feel guilty about. Your expression of grief will ease your pain and make life seem livable again.

I know exactly how it feels to lose a love one, an important job, or even a dream. Loss is one of the most painful human experiences out there but you don't have to hurt forever. Sharing your pain in a safe setting with someone who genuinely care about you is very healing. Over time you can overcome the pain in your life. The trick to share your story with others who care.

For no one wants to stay in a grief mode for too long; but when you dont include the brain in your work with someone, you risk describing the water to them while they drown and calling it success.

There are many challenges associated with grieving the loss of a loved one, whether to death or the loss of a relationship. One challenge is to adjust to the new reality of living without the loved one. There is no "right" way to grieve or process a loss. I help individuals navigate and process the stages of grief. I help individuals work through the four tasks of mourning (accept the reality of the loss, work through the pain of grief, adjust to life without the deceased, and maintain a connection to the deceased while moving on with life.

Grief is a normal process associated with a significant personal loss. The loss may be the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a job. The grieving process varies from one person to the next. At Christ Centered Counseling we understand there can be factors that hinder the grieving process. These hindrances could result in an unhealthy emotional, mental, and/or physical state of being. Grief counseling is about clients learning skills that will assist them with healing and restoration, as they work through the grieving process.

Are you grieving? When you lose someone who is dear to you, it is helpful to have a safe, reliable person who you can talk to. Many folks have feelings to work through, and it is useful to process these with another person, especially when you are feelng the isolation of a loss. As you learn to accept your healthier emotional processes, you may then learn to allow yourself freedom to grieve in your own way.

Grief is a highly individual process, as unique as the people experiencing it. Everything from our personal histories and culture to personality traits and temperament affects how we experience and cope with a major loss in our life. That said, based on my own work as a counselor, it seems to me there are some common themes in the stories of people who manage to grieve well. We can help you heal through Gods' Word to help you think about and navigate your own grieving process in a compassionate, constructive, and healthy way.
