Loss or Grief
Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Our society does not provide us with a language or many rituals/practices to process grief or loss on an individual level or as a collective. Grief can occur in so many traditionally unmarked instances in our lives, from the loss of a job/career, relationship breakup, relocation of home, loss of a pet, family member, friend, colleague or loved one. Often we can feel very alone in our grief as a result. Grief and loss can bring up a whole range of emotions, and trigger losses we have experienced in the past. I will work with you to understand your experience of grief as it is a very individual process, normalize what you're feeling and going through, and provide a safe space for you to process and reconcile your grief. We'll work together to discover a new normal after loss. It will take time, but I want you to know that you're not alone in this.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Disenfranchised grief or complicated grief are some of my specialities with grief. Disenfranchised grief is: "not openly acknowledged or publicly supported through mourning practices or rituals because the experience is not valued or counted [by others] as a loss". This grief can be very isolating, and complicated grief can also be isolating. I am glad to meet for a consultation to hear your story - you do not need to do this alone.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
When we lose someone, through death or in some other way, we need someone to talk to. Someone who listens and strives to understand as we work though the often complex and confusing range of emotions that loss and grief bring. Most of all we need someone to be there who can be steady and accept the intense pain that we carry, the rage, the sadness, all of it. Eventually something inside can lighten. Perhaps it doesn't go away, but it hurts less. We can tolerate it. Manage it. Life opens again.

Dr. Robert T. Muller

Psychotherapy with people who have experienced losses, especially traumatic losses often centers around grief and mourning. Navigating the many challenges of mourning while trying to cope with present day life is what I help people work on in therapy.

Loss or Grief
The Cohen Clinic
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief is our processing of loss. Loss comes in all forms (i.e. death, divorce, break-up, job loss, ending of a friendship, etc.) Emotions that often accompany grief are guilt, anger, sadness, and despair. There is no right or wrong way to grieve – everyone’s grief process is unique to them and their own experiences. Clinicians will work with you to understand and cope with the grief you are experiencing, allowing you to feel the sadness while beginning to move forward in your life.

Yidia Xin
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ontario, registration no. 13745
Experiencing the loss of a loved one, a significant life change, or any form of grief can shake us to our core. It's a deeply personal and transformative process that affects us emotionally, mentally, and even physically. During these times, having a safe and supportive space to process your emotions and navigate the complexities of grief is crucial.
In my practice, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can openly express your feelings of sadness, anger, confusion, and pain. Together, we will explore your unique experience of loss and work towards finding meaning, acceptance, and healing.
Drawing from various therapeutic approaches, such as grief counseling, narrative therapy, and mindfulness techniques, I tailor our sessions to meet your individual needs. We will honor your grief journey, helping you navigate the stages of grief, develop coping strategies, and foster resilience as you move forward in life.
Grief is a natural and necessary response to loss, and it's important to acknowledge and honor the emotions that accompany it. Through our therapeutic work together, we will create a space where you can remember, honor, and find new ways to carry the memories of your loved one.
If you seek support during this challenging time of loss and grief, I am here to guide you. Reach out to schedule a consultation, and together, we will navigate the path to healing, finding renewed hope, and rebuilding a life that embraces both your past and your future. You don't have to face this journey alone.
