Loss or Grief therapists in Blacksburg, Virginia VA
Heather Clifft
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief is a normal human response to loss. The stages of grief include shock and denial, guilt, bargaining, anger, and depression before finally finding acceptance and hope. Many people who experience grief feel as though they "should be over it by now" and wonder when it will end. Typical grief can last a year to 18 months with periodic "flare ups" in the coming years. Together we can create a plan to cope with the symptoms you are experiencing and develop a path to healing.

Jennifer Plumb Vilardaga, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
There is really no way to fully prepare for death; less so when loss is sudden and unexpected. Many people feel a range of emotions - and those emotions may change over time or even moment by moment: shock, confusion, anger, denial, relief, emptiness, deep sadness, loneliness, isolation, fatigue, just to name a few. Sometimes loss is missing someone dear to us, and sometimes loss is more complicated. There is no correct way to grieve. But we can look at the ways in which our own minds can increase our suffering so that we can learn to be with grief and loss in a way that allows fully honoring our experiences, as well as taking steps forward in your life in a way that is in line with your chosen values. I offer a safe place where is OK to feel your feelings, however messy or confusing. I also will be on your journey to help you find rituals for honoring your loss that are special to you and your unique relationship with who you have lost.

Dr. Bridget Kromrey
Psychologist, PsyD
Grief, loss, end of life concerns, death anxiety, terminal illness, and life-limiting illnesses are all areas of speciality for me in psychotherapy. It is an honor to be with an individual and family as they navigate grief and loss. I have experience working with
children and adults after a loss and those who are preparing for the loss of a loved one.
