Loss or Grief
Penelope (Penny) Yen
Psychologist, BA (Hons), MACP, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Grief is a natural process that can hurt like your heart's literally being ripped out or like there's a huge hole inside - however you experience it, it's a pain that can defy description.
I can guide you through the healing process, which can look different for everyone depending on the situation. It's not about forcing you to move on - it's about helping you grow around the loss until you personally feel comfortable living a full life again.

Grief occurs when you lose someone or something that is important to you, including the following:
- The death or anticipated death of a family member, friend, or pet.
- Termination of pregnancy, miscarriage, still birth, fertility challenges, missed adoption or surrogacy opportunity
- Coming to terms with a medical illness/diagnosis for yourself or for someone you care about.
- Witnessing yourself and others age, and face death.
- Life transitions, including entering or exiting the workforce, career change, retirement, becoming a parent or caregiver, adjusting to chronic illness, transitioning out of high school, or transitioning out of sport.
- The loss of a friendship, family or romantic relationship, or going through a divorce.
Since grief is considered a natural process, the goal of counselling is not to make the grief go away. Rather, counselling can provide a space to explore your grief in a supportive environment and find new ways to adapt to life after loss and decrease the impact of grief on daily functioning. Feeling understood and heard and having your grief recognized and validated is an important factor in lightening the burden of loss.
Additionally, counselling can help to determine whether you might be experiencing a persistent and severe form of grief called complicated grief, which may require slightly different treatment.
Contrary to what some may believe, grieving the loss of a loved one does not mean you relinquish them from your life. In fact, counselling can help you to reconstruct the bond with your loved one in a way that allows you to maintain the bond while also moving on with life.
Finally, grief may also involve aspects of trauma, which can be address using various methods of trauma therapy.

Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief affects each individual differently and while there are stages of grief they can come and go and often surprise us when the feelings show up. We often do not realize the life events that can lead to feelings of grief and loss which can include the loss of a pet, divorce, or even life changes where we grieve the loss of our old career or routine. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Kevin Jones
Psychologist, MACP
My approach to supporting clients through loss and grief focuses on providing a compassionate, safe space to express and process complex emotions. I help individuals explore the unique impact of their loss—whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or other life transitions—while honoring their personal grieving process. Using evidence-informed strategies, reflective exercises, and coping tools, I support clients in navigating sadness, anger, or guilt, and in finding ways to adjust to life after loss. My goal is to help clients move through grief at their own pace, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of meaning and hope.

Loss or Grief
Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Losing your partner, someone you love, your career—whether through layoff, termination, or forced retirement—isn't just about losing income. It's about losing identity, purpose, routine, and sometimes your sense of worth. This grief is real, and I see it frequently in my practice. Using the stages of grief as a framework, we'll explore where you are in this painful journey: the shock, anger, bargaining, depression, and eventual acceptance. You'll be heard without judgment, validated in your pain, and encouraged as you process both the practical challenges and the deeper identity questions. This loss doesn't define you. Together, we'll help you rediscover who you are beyond the job title.

Loss or Grief
Kate Hollowell Sheldon
Psychologist, MC, R.Psych.
I have extensive experience with grief and loss. Grief can be a physical loss (death of a loved one, life changing illness or injury) and it can be more existential like the loss of identity, lack of direction in life, feeling lonely and isolated. I tend to use a loss recovery approach to this type of concern. We work holistically to help you move through the waves of grief that occur, to create meaning when the loss can overshadow it, reintroduce happiness and contentment to your life.

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Loss and Grief can be completely debilitating. It takes tremendous energy to cope with loosing someone or something that you were attached to. Did you know that we expect a significant loss to take upwards of 1 year to recover from. If it's been longer than a year it's time to look into what else may be preventing you from moving forward in your life.

Melanie Brooks
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Student - Associate Therapist
Grief and loss is heavy. It can weigh you down. It can be hard to move forward when the world feels different than it once did. Each person’s experience of grief is unique, and that there is no single “right” way to navigate it or figure it out. In my work, I provide a compassionate space where you can explore your emotions, make sense of how your world has changed, and move at a pace that feels safe. Together, we focus on supporting you as you learn to carry your loss with greater ease and self‑kindness.

Angie Ratcliff Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, B.Ed, CCC
My insights don't come from theory alone. They come from lived experience, from doing my own inner work, and from years of professional training and hands-on experience. I've sat with people in their most vulnerable moments. I've witnessed breakdowns and breakthroughs. Through it all, I've continued to learn, refine, and deepen my understanding. My approach is warm, connected, and rooted in care. I am both compassionate and direct. I aim to create a safe and expansive space where you can get curious about yourself and your relationship, where compassion becomes part of the process, and where you leave with insight and a sense of hope, knowing yourself a little more than you did when you walked in.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
