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.

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.

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.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Grief is one of the most profound and personal experiences a person can go through, and there is no right or wrong way to carry it. At Alabaster Counseling, we hold space for girls and women who are navigating loss in all of its forms, whether that is the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a miscarriage, the loss of a dream, or any other experience that has left your heart feeling broken and your world feeling different than it once was.

Online in Virginia Beach, VA Virginia
Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Healthcare and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
