Loss or Grief therapists in West Lynchburg, Virginia VA
Loss or Grief
Michelle Bloom, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD, PsyPact
Loss is inevitable. We all die and we all lose people, relationships, and states of being that we once loved. If we open ourselves to live an authentic, honest, interdependent life, we are sure to experience loss and grief. Many of us fear it so much that we develop a multitude of ways to avoid it, strike a connection balance that we believe will help us protect ourselves later (yet that often robs our joy in the meantime), and use substances or other numbing techniques to help us avoid the complicated process of grief. I believe we can all benefit from learning to appreciate that loss is inevitable, and to learn to grieve in a way that enables us to move forward with compassion and fulfillment.

Dr. Kimberly E. Johnson
Psychologist, PsyD, HSPP, APIT
Unfortunately, we live in an age of excess uncertainty due to violence, natural disaster, disease, war and various health issues. Loss of loved ones or others close to us can lead to uncomplicated or complicated grief. I help clients accept and process the emotions and life changes caused by unexpected or anticipated loss.

Dorothy Brass
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW
Providing grief counseling or therapy can provide support and guidance for individuals navigating the grieving process. I will help you explore feelings, cope with loss, adjust to life changes, and find ways to honor and remember what or who has been lost. Support groups, self-care practices, and connecting with others who have experienced similar losses can also be valuable resources for coping with grief and moving forward in a healthy and meaningful way.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.
