Grief Counseling for Couples in Richmond, VA - West End
A safe place to grieve, heal, and reconnect to life.
In Person EMDR Intensives. Pregnancy, Infant and Child Loss.
So, you’re a part of a club you never asked to be invited to.
The thoughts and feelings experienced when you lose a pregnancy, infant or a child are unlike any associated with any other type of loss. These are unrealized dreams, broken promises and lives cut short. Why were you left to mourn them?
You…
Feel like the world expects you to grieve your child in a “certain way”
Feel isolated in your loss, overwhelmed and misunderstood because even those closest to you don’t know what to say and this isn’t how life is supposed to go
Are grieving differently than your partner and struggling to support one another
Are trying to figure out your new identity as both human and parent in this time now known as “after”
EMDR Intensives give you the time and space to step away from daily life and fully tend to your grief—together and individually.
Hi… I’m Rebekah.
I’ve felt this pain, too. I’m here to witness your story and meet you exactly where you are–however you show up. I’m here when you’re ready.
You’re looking for someone who is willing to sit in grief with you and listen, without judgement.
I’m here for you. When we work together, I offer a compassionate, steady space where you can safely explore your emotions, share your story, and begin to separate your love from the pain that feels so overwhelming. I’m not here to fix you or rush you. I’m here to guide you through processing your experiences in order to find ways to reconnect with yourself and each other. I will listen to your story, hold space for your pain and, together, we will honor your child.
Specializing in:
-
Losing a pregnancy can leave you feeling heartbroken, alone and changed in ways you never expected. I have carried the weight of this grief, I am here to hold space for your pain while helping you navigate the waves of grief with compassion and support.
-
There are no words to describe the devastation of losing a child. This pain is visceral, complicated, all-consuming, and you don’t have to carry it alone. Together, we’ll create a space where your grief is honored, your child’s memory is held close, and healing feels possible - on your terms.
-
Grief and trauma can feel stuck in your body, showing up in ways that are exhausting and overwhelming. EMDR helps process painful memories in ways that honors your love and loss while easing the weight of the hardest moments. You don’t have to stay trapped in the pain - I’ll walk with you toward relief and peace.
-
The grief journey is often too big for a traditional therapy hour. EMDR focused Intensives allow for deep work in a customized, intentional space. I am here to create a personalized experience and help you find a way forward without the pressure of the clock or so much “life to live” between weekly sessions.
Why should you consider EMDR Intensives instead of traditional couples’ therapy after child loss?
Because your grief deserves focused care, not long, drawn out process and wait for relief.
Grief is a Personal Journey
01
Deep Breath
Life changed without your permission and you are grieving in a way no one else understands. I am here for you. Schedule a free consultation call here. During this brief call we’ll have a chance to get to know each other a bit and I can give you more information about me and how I can help. Take a deep breath…I’ll be with you every step of the way.
02
Get Brave
I know the idea of starting EMDR therapy–especially in an intensive format–can feel overwhelming. Taking a deep dive into the worst thing that has ever happened to you can seem terrifying. But the last thing I want is for you to continue moving through life with pain and trauma forever tied to your child’s memory. Your child deserves to be honored and you deserve to live in peace. Let’s get brave…together.
03
Step In
Gifting yourself the time and space to grieve and heal in a way that is as unique and beautiful as your child is something you cannot get everywhere. I am honored to be able to create an experience that is uniquely yours - supportive, thoughtful, and designed to meet you where you are on your journey. Step in…I have tea and pillows waiting.
EMDR Intensives are for you if…
You have experienced a specific, traumatic event or events and are interested in finding relief in an accelerated format
You and your partner can dedicate larger blocks of time on less days and do deeper, more healing work - together
You desire to get more work done in a single session and have a greater sense of sustainable progress as sessions are less “start/stop” in nature
or
Traditional Therapy is for you if…
You have had many experiences over the course of your lifetime that you would prefer to process over the course of many weeks, months and years
You are a couple who have very flexible schedules and who may want to schedule some sessions with one another and some individually, again over the course of a longer period of time
You are ok with moving at a slower pace and willing to wait on relief
What if you could finally exhale and grieve?
