Welcome, My name is Melinda Phillips (Rodriguez),

I am a Certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist, and I would like to walk with you through your grief healing process. This method has allowed me and others to move through the Grief Recovery Method healing process.

Every person experiences Grief at some point in their life. Grief can be a result of many major events such as the death of a loved one, an empty nest, health issues, the loss of a child or an unborn child, a loss of self, and many more. Throughout life we have seasons that start and seasons that end, to some, this can also cause grief.
A few more reasons you may grieve losses are:

• Loss of a friend, family member, partner, or pet.
• A marriage ending, friendship, or another form of kinship.
• The loss of your home, a job or career.
• Financial stability, A dream, or a goal.

People can also have many ways of handling grief. When going through grief we have undelivered emotions, dreams, and expectations which due to the loss were not delivered or expressed which may cause an increase in sadness or feeling of loss. This method will give you tools to help you through the grief process.
I live in Ohio and provide online and in-person Grief Recovery Method Groups & One-on-Ones. You are NOT ALONE, I also have experienced many losses. I realized when going through a moment of grief, people around you may not understand how you are feeling or going through it. It is a good feeling when you can be with others who share similar emotions and are listening and sharing empathetically.

The GRM is an evidence-based method that after the multiple losses in my life, and the challenges that came along with them, helped me to return to my routine life. It is a process of rediscovering yourself and tapping into your internal resilience.

I hold a Bachelors degree in Psychology and Ethics, Master's degree in Mental Health clinical counseling, and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC).

I look forward to hearing from you!
