Mindfulness-based grief counseling for adults seeking holistic healing. Work with award-winning expert Heather Stang via Zoom. Private and group support.
Grief can be disorienting—whether it's the death of a loved one or a non-death loss like divorce, estrangement, or major life transition. You don't have to face this alone. From my practice in Frederick, Maryland, I offer virtual grief counseling services grounded in mindfulness, compassion, and clinical expertise. Currently all sessions are offered via secure Zoom to make support accessible and convenient.

Private Grief Counseling
Individual grief therapy customized for your unique needs
In these confidential one-on-one Zoom sessions, we work together to gently navigate your grief using mindfulness-based techniques. As a certified yoga therapist with a master’s in thanatology, I integrate body awareness, self-compassion, and neuroscience-informed strategies to help you:
- Manage intense emotions like anxiety, guilt, and sadness
- Find your footing after loss, trauma, or life upheaval
- Reconnect with your sense of identity and meaning
- Create a continuing bond with the person you've lost
This is not about “getting over” your grief—it’s about learning to carry it with grace.
Virtual Grief Support Group

These virtual groups are designed to help you feel seen, supported, and less alone.
