Loss or Grief therapists in Thomaston, Georgia GA
Loss or Grief
Ella Flemister
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Grief can take the joy out of life, and you may feel like you will not or cannot regain any feelings of vitality experienced before the loss. I stress that each person must be allowed to grieve in a manner that is suitable for them. If you are suffering loss and feel like you are stuck, therapy is in order and can provide you with a space that friends and loved ones may not be able to provide, especially if they too are affected. Allow yourself time to heal, but reach out to me if you are drowning in grief.

Loss or Grief
Christine Henry
Psychologist, Ph.D
Grief is the one emotion that even emotionally 'tough' people can't push down. Therapy can help you process your grief so you no longer have to carry it alone. We can explore the relationship you had with the person who died, including both the positive and negative aspects. We will attempt to make sense of the death so you can let go of all the 'what ifs.' We can find a way to help you move forward instead of feeling like time has stopped.

Loss or Grief
Ben Dickstein
Psychologist, PhD
I offer grief counseling for those who have endured a recent loss, as well as those struggling to come to terms with a loss from the more distant past. I specialize in issues related to complicated grief (aka prolonged grief), as well as losing someone to suicide. Often the clients I see tell me that they can't see their lives as possessing any purpose or meaning in the wake of their loss. Nor do they feel right about looking toward the future or trying to move forward, as they feel that this dishonors the memory of the deceased. Sometimes feelings of guilt or regret linger after loss, too. I help those grieving work through these types of issues and increase their level of connection with loved ones and friends.

Loss or Grief
Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
Grief feels insurmountable. Even the smallest task may require more emotional energy than the person has to complete the task. Grief affects every other area of a person's life. Grief treatment is primarily person centered. My job as a therapist is to allow my clients to cry or scream or say horrible things about the person they have lost because I won't judge you for anything you say or do. For most people no one else in their lives understands why they are still grieving. Grief and I are old friends. I don't expect you to grieve the same way I do or the same way anyone else does. I just offer you a space to be yourself and say the quiet thoughts out loud.

Kristena Martin
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Most people will experience loss at some point in their lives. Grief is a reaction to any form of loss. Bereavement is a type of grief involving the death of a loved one.
Bereavement and grief encompass a range of feelings from deep sadness to anger. The process of adapting to a significant loss can vary dramatically from one person to another. It often depends on a person’s background, beliefs, and relationship to what was lost.
