“We know when we lose something important that we're attached to that our brain codes that loss like physical
pain.” I understand that we can't fix the loss and we can't end the grief, but I want to help you learn to live a whole and fulfilling life with grief now a part of your experience.
Loss and Grief can include many things besides the death of a loved one. It can be the loss of youth, becoming an empty nester, divorce, relationship ends, moving, a new job, a new role in life and many others. Change is difficult and uncertain, loss brings intense feelings that feel unmanageable. I have found that using Expressive Arts Therapy and talk therapy as helpful in processing those hard emotions. No one is forced to use expressive arts, it is offered. Grief takes time. We need a space to feel and express it. I can provide that safe, nonjudgmental space for you as your move through your grief and loss.
I offer services for males and females for all ages facing grief. I walk them through the stages of grief and then I assign grief "homework" which helps the client deal with it on their own terms and at their own pace.
Which stage of grief are you experiencing? Denial? Anger? Depression? Isolation? Or are you on a roller coaster ride going back and forth between them?
Grief can wreak havoc on your emotional well-being and cause overwhelming emotions too difficult to handle.
I can teach you coping skills and help you learn how to not only accept but thrive in your new way of life.
At New Horizon Counseling Center we offer individuals, couples and family counseling in a group practice setting with licensed counselors and social workers. Our trained, caring therapy staff offer a variety of approaches to meet the specific needs of each client in a safe and calm setting.
