Grief
Dr. Dorothy Brass
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, DCC, 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.

Grief
Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Grief can follow the loss of a person, relationship, role, or hoped-for future, and it often shows up in ways that are unpredictable or hard to name. Many women find themselves trying to keep functioning while carrying waves of sadness, numbness, or disorientation. In our work together, we focus on creating space to process what has changed, integrating the loss into your ongoing life, and helping you reconnect with a sense of steadiness and meaning at your own pace.

Grief
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, grief is understood as a natural response carried by vulnerable parts that hold deep attachment, loss, and longing. Protective parts may try to manage this pain through numbing, distraction, or over-functioning to prevent overwhelm. Therapy helps clients access Self to gently witness and care for grieving parts, allowing the loss to be integrated with compassion rather than avoided.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hey Survivor, are you tired of feeling guilty and overwhelmed all the time? Everyone else seems so together and you're stuck battling your past? I get it. My name is Rebecca Castle-Waller and I help badass women with trauma become present in their lives and in their relationships, so you can actually enjoy this life you've built.
Many of my clients grew up in chaotic and unstable homes where from a young age they started taking care of others. Making meals, waking their parents up for work, getting their siblings off to school. From there, you went on to take care of your partner and your kiddos while also working hard to keep everything running smoothly. Now with work and relationships and family drama and life you feel constantly stressed out and like you should be doing more. Oh, and you're doing all of this while facing nightmares, flashbacks, numbness, random waves of anger, and the like. Who's taking care of you?
Let's give you a space where you can be your messy, imperfect self so you can finally take care of you. It's time to heal your trauma, you've built an amazing life and you deserve to actually live it.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Coping with loss or grief can be an overwhelming and deeply personal journey. Hypnotherapy offers a compassionate and supportive approach to navigating these emotions, helping individuals find solace and healing. Through hypnotherapy, clients can access their subconscious mind, where unresolved grief and pain often reside. In a state of deep relaxation, individuals can gently explore their feelings of loss, allowing themselves to fully process and release these emotions.

Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — and sits at the center of the Hampton Roads military metro, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, PTSD, and the challenges of military life. The city's large African American population and history of racial inequity create consistent demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the Hampton VA Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University, which absorbed Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2024, maintains clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
