Alexandria Therapists specializing in Grief or Loss

Kristin Miyoko Papa

It might be hard for you to put yourself first or even ask for help. You might be the go-to person for your family, friends, or coworkers so prioritizing your own emotional well-being might even feel selfish. But you've been struggling for a while and you know something needs to change. Recognizing your needs and prioritizing your mental health can help you move towards your more authentic self and show up more fully in your relationships.

S. Matthew Brown

Since 1994, my systemic training has enabled me to specialize in treating issues such as depression, anxiety, grief & loss, divorce/ separation, relationship, stage of life, motivation and family of origin issues. Psychotherapy is meant to address the roots of mental and emotional struggle.

Melanie Froemke

I specialize in working with adults, children, and adolescents who have experienced trauma, anxiety, grief & loss, and transitions. I genuinely want to connect with my clients and be a support and guide through the process of understanding and healing.

Kristin Harkins

Are you looking to find more meaning in your life? Do you feel as though you should be happier but something is missing? You may experience anxiety, depression, or a feeling that things are “just ok” as a result of not knowing where you are going or why. I am dedicated to working with you to overcome obstacles to finding healing, meaning, and joy in your life.

Katherine Hughes

I have experience working with children, adolescents, couples, families, and individuals in both private and non-profit settings. I have helped people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, dissociation, self-harm, substance use, eating disorders, and general life stress.

Roberto Martinez

I really want the individual to know it is a partnership. I value lived experiences and recognize your expertise in your lived experience. Together we will come up with a therapeutic approach to either improve or continue your ability to thrive. We will create a safe therapeutic space for you to grow.

Sammy Kirk

You feel things intensely. You think deeply. Somewhere along the way, you may have gotten the message that this wasn't okay-- that you were too much, that you were too sensitive, that maybe you should feel guilty for having the feelings you do. What if you learned your sensitivity was a strength? Therapy can help to unlearn those messages and tap into the wisdom of your intuition, and it can heal the parts of you that might at times make it hard to connect to your inner strength.

Carolyn White

I specialize in working with people who are fighting feelings of anxiety, anger, and overwhelm, and feel like they’re slowly losing the battle. Whether you’ve experienced something new or have been struggling to feel secure at work, in a relationship, or with yourself, I help you identify what matters to you, reconnect to your purpose, and start to take action to feel more in control of your life.

Nicole Low

Kami Sidman

As a multiracial black woman, I enjoy working with clients with any identity concerns, including experiences of intersectionality, oppression, and internalized oppression. I appreciate working with lawyers/law students, college students, and other professionals. I have particular interest in exploring client giftedness, creativity, sensitivity, and high achievement. I often work with clients who feel stuck professionally, struggle with work/life balance, or are considering a career change.

Valerie Dawkins

You are here because you’re tired. You might look like you’ve got it all together, but most days you feel far from it. You’re tired of wanting connection but losing yourself to get it; to keep it. You're tired of being the "go-to person" who has no place to go to. You struggle to feel “good enough." or worthy. Maybe you've been mad at God or struggle with unforgiveness. You want to move past the things that keep you stuck in pain. You desire more from life than the hurt you’re feeling right now.

Caroline Sahr

I have great care for all of my clients, and work diligently to help work through the challenges and difficult feelings they experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults regarding various issues, including: anxiety, depression, stress, complex trauma, oppression, relationships and intimacy, sexual assault and domestic violence, and LGBTQ+ dynamics.

Brave Within Counseling Hyon Bachman

Does your anxiety get in the way when you are trying to talk to your partner, co-workers, boss, or clients and feel stuck? When we try to “fix” what is outside of us, inevitably, we will continue to feel stuck. When we try to look within ourselves; our emotions, thoughts, or prejudgments based on our beliefs or assumptions, we may challenge ourselves and ask what we believe is true. I hope you are willing to challenge yourself by examining your unquestioned mind. In-Network-VA, Out of network-FL

Dr. Christina Hong Huber

Clients that seek me out are folks who are looking for a safe place to discuss and explore their challenges and receive support and build empowerment. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples from a variety of cultural identities. I work from a social justice and trauma-informed lens and provide culturally responsive therapy that is tailored to the needs of the client. My clients describe me as warm, engaging and supportively challenging, and they say they feel held and supported in therapy.

Catherine Norman

When you need help getting in shape, you can head to the gym and work with a coach. Similarly, when life becomes overwhelming, you can reach out to a counselor. Are you reliving your pain on a daily basis? Do you feel lost or disconnected, like life is meaningless? I believe these feelings are normal: PTSD is a normal response to abnormal events. If you've been hurt, you have a right to feel sad or angry--even betrayed. You are not alone.

Jessica Kirchhoefer

If you are feeling stressed, anxious or depressed, struggling with disordered eating, self esteem, relationships or career, we can work together to bring about concrete, lasting change. My goal is to help you to make mindful choices, and to have a happier, more empowered and satisfying life.

Ann Krajewski, Psy.D.

Do you not feel good enough, no matter what you do? You may be fed up with nitpicking yourself, second guessing yourself, or constantly comparing yourself to others. You might not even remember when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to think about yourself for once. You’re ready to feel safe in your own skin. And most of all, you’re ready to form a deeper connection with yourself and others.

Kelsey Bates

You are struggling trying to navigate women's health issues like chronic illness and chronic pain, postpartum/perinatal issues, pregnancy loss or infertility. You feel so much anxiety about the future and feel isolated in your pain. You've been striving for perfection and feel like a failure with plans derailed and lack of control over your day to day. You are feeling stuck in your grief. My clients are ready to get tools to stop simply surviving each day and start thriving.
