Grief counselors and therapists in Harrisonburg, VA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work and experience across a variety of settings, including hospitals, assisted living and nursing facilities, public health, primary care offices, and private practice. This diverse background has allowed me to support individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions.

I work with adults ages 18 and older, with a special focus on college-aged students, individuals experiencing relationship challenges, those recovering from narcissistic relationships, and the aging population. I help clients build skills in stress management, improve self-esteem, process grief, and navigate complex emotional experiences.

I was drawn to this field by a strong desire to support individuals during difficult times and to help them find clarity, resilience, and meaningful change. My goal is to walk alongside each client as they work toward healing and a more fulfilling life.

Life can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, or the life we imagined. You may be carrying anxiety, grief, loneliness, or the weight of life’s many transitions. Therapy offers a place to slow down, be deeply heard, and gently reconnect with yourself. I believe healing begins in a caring, trusting relationship where you feel accepted just as you are. Together we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your life, discover new possibilities, and help you move toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.

I bring 18 years of professional experience, along with the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of living. As an elder I hold a compassionate, curious space to help you grow into the person you are meant to be. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, compassionate presence and the feeling that they can simply be themselves. My role is to walk beside you with warmth, curiosity and gentle guidance.

My name is Sara Dillon and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I am licensed in Virginia and I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth. I have worked with kids and families for over a decade both in the school and in the private practice settings.

I work from the lens of wellness for the whole person, incorporating mindfulness, and physical (including nutritional), mental, and emotional well-being, through the context of relationship. I believe growth and healing come from power held in the individual I am working with, and I aim to empower each person to access this from within themselves.
