Being a homicide survivor can feel like the loneliest place in the world. We want survivors of homicide to know they don't have to walk the long, dark journey alone. Here at Online Counseling Services of Virginia, we understand the unique grief and pain of surviving loved ones. We recognize the grief that survivors of homicide experience is distinct from other kinds of grief requiring special, experienced care. We strive to create a safe and caring environment where we listen and treat survivors of homicide with dignity and respect.

We can provide compassionate, understanding and supportive EMDR-based therapy. EMDR therapy focuses on reprocessing traumatic memories associated with the murder and its aftermath. This approach can help co-victims gain closure, allowing them to resume living meaningful and healthy lives. Our dedicated clinicians have the experience to be trauma-informed in the way that honors survivors of homicide and their journey.

The support doesn't end with the therapy. We offer the necessary additional services such as connecting you to local resources for survivors and family members, helping navigate the criminal justice system and insurance, and supporting in managing media attention when appropriate. Our primary goal is to assist homicide survivors on the path to reclaiming their lives after tragedy.

If you or a loved one has experienced the loss of a loved one through homicide, know that Online Counseling Services of Virginia is here to offer understanding, hope and healing.
