Loss or Grief
LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
Grief is the process of reacting to a loss. This loss could be physical (death of a loved one), social (such as a divorce), or occupational (such as work-related). An individual experiencing grief may have conflicted feelings and may experience fluctuations in symptoms throughout their process. Often times, individuals might feel as though they have accepted the loss and have gotten closure. However, later on they may begin to experience grief again and that is okay. Closure is not a one-time thing, it can happen over the course of weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes we are able to gain closure on certain aspects of the loss, and other parts may take a bit longer. Individuals may find that their emotional reaction changes and fluctuates, and can entail different emotions and behaviors. Feelings of sadness can also begin to intensify as the individual begins to yearn to be with the loved one again.
Psychotherapy can be effective in helping an individual overcome grief by allowing the individual to come to terms with the loss, to help work through pain and grief, and help to learn how to move forward and adapt to a life without the loved one. Psychotherapy can also help you to find ways to maintain a connection with the loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches have been successful in helping to treat grief and loss. Additionally, Relaxation Techniques and Mindfulness-based interventions, may also be helpful.

Loss and death is a natural part of our existence. All the emotions that usually come on board are also normal. Holding space for people to do this natural work and move through their emotions is a privilege.

Loss or Grief
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Being alive means experiencing inevitable loss, which is normally followed by grief and recovery. The loss can be the loss of a person, image, ideal, or even a hope. However, the grief and recovery can sometimes be complicated. Every person follows a unique pattern of grief processing. The key for a healthy recovery lies in understanding this pattern in a supported environment. The therapy is about helping the client to get to this insight. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
Grief can be one of the most gut-wrenching feelings we may experience as humans. Grief can affect how we see ourselves, how we see the world, what we value, and what we want. Whether you are grieving loss of a life, a relationship, a job, our physical health, ideas of how our life would look, or anything else, I provide support to process difficult feelings, engage in self-care, establish new parts of your identity, and determine boundaries that feel right for you. I recognize that there is no "right" way to grieve and hold space for whatever it looks like for you.

*Welcoming new clients for immediate booking* Are you struggling to adjust to a "new normal"? Whether it be from the loss of a loved one or from the end of a relationship or a significant life transition, these feelings of grief are real and they can be intense.

Allow me to support you in finding acceptance and a way forward following your loss. I will support you with learning new skills to help you cope and will provide you the space to just 'be' if that's what you need... nothing will be asked of you, no demands will be made of you, you can just use the time to process things at a pace that feels comfortable. Little by little, you'll find that pain and love will find new ways to coexist. Allow me to support you.

Loss or Grief
Kaleidoscope Counselling Collective
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In today's society, we are expected to "suck it up and move on" in situations related to loss. However, grief has a mind of its own. It shows up when we least expect it and can linger a lot longer than we want. It comes back again and again, even when we thought we've dealt with it. .
Time does heal, and therapy can help.
Whether you have lost a loved one through death or a relationship ending, have gone through a difficult life transition or are grieving the loss of something else important to you, we'll help you heal grief in a supportive, non-judgmental & compassionate space.

Loss or Grief
Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Over the course of our lives, we experience various losses and we grieve in many different ways. It can be difficult to know how to begin working through grief and you do not have to be alone in this process. I believe that grieving is a journey and I welcome the opportunity to support you in your path to healing. Within therapy, we can explore some of the emotions you are experiencing, unpack expectations about what grieving looks like, discuss possibilities for connection with what’s most important within your life, and consider possible ways to honour the loss(es) you have experienced. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Loss or Grief
Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
To lose and mourn those we love and care for is one of the fundamental givens of these human lives we lead. Grief is like an ocean tide: the ebb and flow - an ongoing, non-linear process that involves many phases of feeling, remembering and making meaning from these experiences. Therapy can provide a space to grapple with the both the immediate and life-long experience of grief as well as with the existential anxiety that can result when we confront death as a universal truth.
