Grief and loss are weaved into our lives in an intimate way. Grief is natural, normal, unique and universal. Grief touches us all at one point or another and is an inevitable part of being human. The experience of grief may be associated with a range of emotions, thoughts and behaviours. It’s important to remember that the journey of grief is not linear and there is no right way to feel. Therapy is a safe space where you can explore your grief. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable to you and I will check in to ensure that you feel safe and supported. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a timeline. I offer grief-informed support for clients navigating loss in all its forms, creating space to feel what needs to be felt without rushing the process, and helping clients carry their loss in a way that still allows for a full life.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
The waves of grief crash in unexpected ways at unexpected times with unexpected outcomes. Within my Holistic Life Coaching practice and through my own personal experience, I have cultivated tools, methods, and experiments that approach grief and loss through the lens of curiosity, expansiveness, and nonjudgment. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. Coaching can absolutely complement and supplement your therapy work; our work is therapeutic without being therapy. Without stagnating in your grief, together we can discover what your grief means to you, what it is bringing to your life, and how we can use it to manifest the life you desire. From where you are sitting right now that may sound like a difficult, if not impossible task. My mother always said "nothing beats failure but a try." I invite you to try coaching to discover what happens when you allow yourself to speak your truth and feel however and whatever you are feeling in a safe, nonjudgmental space dedicated to you and your growth.

Navigating grief and loss involves a series of stages that can be challenging to go through on your own. It's understandable that grief can feel overwhelming and even frightening at times, making it difficult to manage intense emotions. While the grieving process cannot be hurried, there are helpful ways to support yourself during this period.
One such effective approach is to connect with a compassionate individual in a secure and accepting environment. By working together, we can explore the complex feelings you're experiencing and process difficult emotions in a way that feels manageable for you.
Please feel free to reach out if you feel this kind of support would be beneficial for you right now.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
Embracing the journey grief can be a profound and transformative experience. As a specialist in treating people with loss and grief, I work with individualist navigate the complexities of their emotions and find healing through Narrative Therapy and an Internal Family Systems approach. Grief is a powerful force that has a life of its own, often reflecting the depth of love we hold for what we have lost. By engaging in an internal dialogue with our grief, we can begin to unravel its meaning and use it as a source of wisdom and growth. Through this process, we can nourish ourselves with the lessons grief has to offer and move towards a state of peace and acceptance. Remember, it is okay to seek support and guidance during times of loss. You are not alone on this journey.

Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
When working with grief, I focus on creating space for the emotions that often feel difficult to face. It’s very common for people to try to push grief aside or stay busy in order to avoid the pain that comes with loss. While that can help in the short term, healing often begins when we allow ourselves to gradually experience and work through those emotions rather than avoiding them. Working through our grief is a long term process that will change as we learn to integrate our past and our loss with the many ways we an begin to move forward.

North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Grief can be experienced due to a multitude of losses. We often experience grief after the death of a loved one. Other times we have feelings of grief that surface due to ambiguous losses—such as the loss of a stage of life, the loss of not having children; or grief that emerges after a job loss or a move to a new city. Grief is not a problem to be fixed, it is a natural process of life that needs to be experienced—often in community or with a caring other. Therapy can be a safe place to bear witness to these losses and the grief that accompanies them, while honouring your memories, wishes and also creating meaning for the future.

Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief can feel overwhelming, complex, and isolating-whether it comes from losing a loved one, the death of a partner, or the end of an important relationship. Having supported my father through the final stages of cancer and navigated my own experiences of loss, I bring both professional insight and personal understanding to this work. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, safe space to process your emotions, honour your experiences, and find ways to carry forward while staying connected to what matters most. Together, we’ll explore paths toward healing, acceptance, and renewed resilience.

Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Every act of embracing something new involves the letting go of something old. Loss denied and grief disallowed are the roadblocks against vitaity. Safety and trust are the foundations that allow the acceptance of loss and the experience of grief and protect against the horrible distortions that can result from defense against the completion of experience.

New Moon Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, MACP, MSW, RSW, RP, RP(Q)
Grief is arguably the most painful experience we will ever experience. Yet within it's shadows there is a transformative power that can lead us to a place of healing and growth.
In our darkest moments, we discover the strength we never knew existed. We can learn to embrace vulnerability, to lean on others for support, and to find solace in the beauty of human connection.
Grief invites us to reflect on the preciousness of life and the fragility of our existence. It reminds us to cherish the moments we have and to cultivate gratitude for the love and connections we share. It compels us to reevaluate our priorities, to let go of what no longer serves us, and to embrace the opportunities for growth and transformation that arise from loss.
There are different forms of grief including:
- Loss of a loved one
- Anticipatory grief Eg. Loved ones experiencing chronic illness, Alzheimer's, etc.
- Ambiguous grief Eg. Disappearance of loved one, strained relationships, someone is physically present but emotionally absent
- Complicated grief Eg. Severe grief that persists or worsens over time
- Trauma related grief Eg. Grieving loss of safety or life that could have been
- Disenfranchised grief Eg. Grieving the loss of a socially unaccepted relationship/cause of death such as extramarital affair, ex-spouse, colleague, suicide loss, abuser, abortion, etc.
- Ecological grief Eg. Grief related to witnessing the destruction of ecosystems, the loss of biodiversity, or the impact of natural disasters.
- Collective grief Eg. Large scale loss such as natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or a pandemic.
Therapy provides a supportive and structured environment for individuals to navigate the intricate journey of grief. Here are several ways in which therapy can help people cope with grief:
Emotional Expression: Grief often brings a whirlwind of emotions, from sadness and anger to guilt and confusion. Therapy offers a safe space for individuals to express and process these emotions without judgment, fostering a sense of relief and understanding.
Validation and Normalization: Grief can make individuals feel isolated or as though their reactions are abnormal. Therapists help validate the complexity of grief, reassuring individuals that their feelings are a natural part of the process. This normalization can alleviate the burden of guilt or self-doubt.
Coping Strategies: Therapists can teach practical coping strategies to manage the intense emotions associated with grief. This may include mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, or cognitive-behavioral strategies tailored to the individual's needs.
Understanding the Grieving Process: Grief is a unique and individual experience. Therapists educate individuals about the different stages of grief, helping them understand that healing is a gradual and non-linear process. This knowledge can provide a roadmap for the journey ahead.
Exploring Meaning and Purpose: Grief often prompts individuals to question the meaning of life and their own purpose. Therapists assist in exploring these existential concerns, helping individuals find new meaning and direction in the midst of loss.
Building Resilience: Therapy supports the development of resilience by helping individuals identify and strengthen their coping mechanisms. This process empowers individuals to adapt to the challenges of grief and ultimately move towards a place of greater emotional stability.
Navigating Life Transitions: Grief can bring significant life changes, and therapy provides a space to navigate these transitions. Whether it's adjusting to a new identity, redefining relationships, or making major life decisions, therapy can offer guidance and support.
Connection and Support: The therapeutic relationship itself can be a vital source of support. Having a compassionate and understanding professional to share the journey can mitigate feelings of loneliness and provide a secure foundation for healing.
In essence, therapy for grief is a personalized and holistic approach that addresses the emotional, psychological, and existential dimensions of loss. Through this process, individuals can find the support and tools they need to cope, heal, and ultimately integrate their experience of loss into their lives.
You don't have to carry this on your own. Our skilled therapists are here to help.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Grief is painful and disorienting process, and it does not include only the death of a loved one. During our lifetime, we can experience the loss of relationships, a job, a pet, a personal dream or a version of ourselves. Also, because every person is unique and carry a different life story, there is not the right timeline for grief and no single way to move through it. We also do not need to carry our pain alone. Together, we can navigate the process of grief and explore ways to cope with your loss, while creating a safe space for you to experience and express emotions such as sadness, anger, yearning, fear, anxiety, or numbness.
