Grief shows up in waves and can touch every part of your life, whether you are mourning a death, the end of a relationship, a role, a sense of safety, or a version of yourself.

Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Experiencing the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a familiar phase of life can fundamentally shake your world. Grief is not a linear process with a neat timeline; it comes in waves, bringing a heavy mix of sadness, anger, confusion, and exhaustion. You don't have to carry that weight in isolation. Using a compassionate, evidence-based approach, we will work collaboratively to create a safe space for your story, honor the depth of your experience, and gently navigate the path toward living alongside your loss with grace and self-compassion.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Whether it's the loss or terminal sickness of a loved one or a forced change of life circumstances, adapting to the new normal can be incredibly difficult and even isolating. Grief is the conflicting feelings caused by the end of or change in a familiar pattern of behavior. It is a normal and natural emotional reaction to loss or change of any kind. Grief is neither a pathological condition nor a personality disorder, but when undergoing the various stages grief encompasses, you may feel as if you are not the same person you once were. You may find yourself bewildered with next steps or just barely coping with all of the various feelings grief produces. As you navigate through the various stages of grief, it's easy to become "stuck". If you find this happening to you, hypnosis can be a safe and natural alternative to assist you with overcoming these barriers.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
Recovery through an experiential means of grieving is essential in that one cannot get over the heartbreak until they allow themselves to feel it. Experiential focused techniques involve fully experiencing our emotions and unmet needs, in effort to transcend this pain. One of my most unique specialties focus on Survivors of Suicide(S.O.S), I am a trained Survivors of Suicide(S.O.S), facilitator who has previously co-facilitated this group, for those who are grieving the loss of a family member or loved one by suicide. One of the complexities of mourning a suicide involves the additional shock of a sudden death, in which the bereaved may not feel they had the chance to ask or say what they needed to. The second tier of this grief involves a violent death. Many mourners suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, particularly if they have discovered the body. This often adds to a sense of sur-realness or not fitting in with the rest of grieving society. The support system of survivors of suicide may be weaker than those afflicted with other types of mourning. Loved ones may pull away due to their own sense of helplessness and discomfort, leaving them with a further sense of isolation and loss. Survivors require guidance regarding how to talk to their children about the manner in which their loved one died. Due to the many complexities of this process, survivors of suicide may get stuck in any particular phase of grief or take much longer to complete them. As a result of all these special challenges, survivors of suicide require enough safety to share their story with others, whom they feel can understand the uniqueness of their pain. This is a particularly special and complicated grieving process which I believe requires the specific training and experience which I offer to clinically assist those who are in this category of mourners.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
Grief is love with nowhere to go, and there's no timeline, no right way, no "getting over it." Whether your loss is recent or years old, a person, a relationship, a health, or a future you'd imagined, the weight of it deserves space. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental place to feel what you feel without being rushed or fixed, to make sense of a world that's changed, and to slowly carry your loss differently. The goal isn't to move on, it's to move forward with your grief, staying connected to what mattered while rebuilding a life that can hold both sorrow and joy. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more supported, and more able to live fully again.

Grief
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Grief is a normal and adaptive process, and as such, does not necessarily need treatment. However, some people feel that their feelings of grief are overwhelming. Others feel ‘stuck’ in their grief and would like to talk to someone. The focus of grief therapy is to help you to work through your feelings of grief, to feel supported, and to help you regain a sense of control, and move forward in your life in a way that feels appropriate to you.
Treatment length at MindFit depends on how a person is currently functioning, and how impairing feelings of grief are on daily activities. It may range from 6 to 16 sessions.
During treatment, members work with clincians on a number of strategies, which may include understanding the grief process and telling one’s grief story, identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts or beliefs, carving out time to process the one’s feelings, becoming re-engaged in activities, relaxation and mindfulness strategies, assertive communication skills, self-compassion exercises, and/or identifying and working on one’s values. Our coaches can work with you on tasks that can help in the grieving process, such as writing about your grief, managing through ‘firsts,’ creating rituals or memories in honour of a loved one, etc.
