Holding Space for Heartbreak: Softening the Weight of Every Loss
Grief is love with nowhere to go. It is the deep, aching footprint left behind when a bond is altered or severed. Whether you are mourning the death of a beloved person, grieving the quiet, painful loss of a cherished pet—whose devotion was woven into your daily routines—navigating the silent ache of a broken relationship, facing a diagnosis that changed your body, or grieving a future you worked so hard to build, your pain is real, and it deserves to be held with immense softness.
Society often expects us to move through sorrow on a timeline, or ranks our pain—minimizing the profound heartbreak of losing a companion animal, an unfulfilled dream, or an intangible sense of safety. But true grief does not follow a neat linear path. It lives in the body as sudden waves of tears, profound physical fatigue, hollow numbness, or a sharp, unexpected tightness in your chest when you look at an empty space in your home.
At Harness of Joy Psychotherapy Services, we offer a warm, sacred sanctuary where you never have to justify your tears or apologize for the depth of your heartbreak. Living out our foundational values of empathy, integrity, and tailored care, we sit beside you in the quiet places of your pain, providing a gentle anchor when the world around you keeps moving too fast.
Our heart-centered approach honors every facet of your loss by helping you:
Validate Every Layer of Loss: Offer tender, equal reverence for all forms of grief—from the profound loss of human companions and animal family members to subtle, disenfranchised life losses—without judgment or comparison.
Comfort an Exhausted Nervous System: Utilize gentle somatic grounding to soothe the physical ache, sleep disruptions, and emotional shock that heavy grief imposes on your body.
Preserve the Bond While Finding Peace: Help you carry the love, memories, and legacy of what you lost forward into your life, weaving gentle comfort, self-compassion, and quiet moments of hope back into your days.
You do not have to carry the overwhelming weight of heartbreak in isolation. When you are ready, we are here to offer steady comfort, hold a safe space for your story, and walk with you toward gentle healing.

Jessica Nickerson
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, CCC
Grief isn't limited to the death of someone we love. It can also arise through changes in relationships, identity, health, or the life we imagined for ourselves. I offer space to explore the complex emotions and experiences that accompany loss, without expectations about how grief should look or how long it should last.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
Children often grieve in ways that are quiet, confusing, or misunderstood. Whether they’ve lost a loved one, a pet, or experienced another significant change, I provide a safe, supportive space where they can express their grief through play, art, and gentle conversation. In therapy, I help children name their feelings, ask hard questions, and find healthy ways to remember, cope, and move forward at their own pace. I also support parents in understanding their child’s unique grief process and how to offer comfort and security during a time of deep emotional need. Grief is not something to "get over"—it’s something we learn to carry together, with care and compassion.

Jim Mason
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, ICADC, CCAC
Grief can be an incredibly challenging experience, whether it's due to the loss of a loved one or the ending of a significant relationship. Grief therapy provides support and guidance to individuals experiencing loss, helping you navigate the emotional and practical challenges of grief. It offers a safe space to process emotions, develop coping strategies, and work towards acceptance and healing
I emphasize a compassionate approach through various cognitive therapies, including CBT. CBT focuses on disrupting negative thought patterns and replacing them with more helpful ones. CBT aims to modify the unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns that impair one’s functioning. These changes can lead to healthier behaviours and improved emotion regulation. If you're ready, I invite you to book a free 15-minute phone consultation to explore how I can support you.

Adrie-Anne Gamble
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC, CCC, EMDR | ERP | IFS | Attachment
Grief is not limited to death. Some people carry a chronic sorrow for what they’ve lived through and for the relationships, family, or childhood they lost or never had. When something cannot be repaired or changed, therapy can be a place to grieve, make sense of your experiences, and find a way to carry them with greater peace.

Maggie Davidson
Psychologist, MC, Registered Psychologist
Your past does not have to be your future. Loss and grief can feel overwhelming, but managing grief, and other emotions, is a learned skill. Often life circumstances prevent people from learning to manage their emotions. I can support you in learning to manage your emotions, and your grief, so that you can move forward with your life and make healthy choices. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free intake and we can get started on the process of helping you move forward with your future.

Grief
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Loss and its accompanying grief are universal: no one gets through life unscathed. Grief is a response to any type of loss: death of a beloved person or pet; breakup/divorce; life transitions, such as empty nest or retirement; losing a job; or losing something valuable, like a home or faith. We don't recover from loss so much as experiencing the pain of grief and mourning the loss. My goal in helping people that are grieving is first and foremost to listen, to witness their pain and loss. I will provide a sanctuary: a safe place and empathetic presence in which you can honestly, openly, and fully mourn.

Heron Payne Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, RTC
Grief can take many forms, whether you are mourning the death of someone important, the end of a relationship, a change in health, or the loss of a future you had imagined. You may find yourself moving between sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, relief, or moments that catch you off guard entirely. I offer a compassionate space where grief does not need to be rushed, explained away, or made to fit a particular timeline. Together, we can make room for what has been lost, explore how it is affecting your sense of self and relationships, and help you find a way to carry the experience with greater steadiness, meaning, and self-compassion.

Andrew Saliba
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC (Registration No. 11246757), APC (Registration No. 834ON24)
Dealing with grief and loss can be immensely painful. Having a space to process emotions and glean the guidance of grief-informed literature can make a significant difference in situations such as dealing with the loss of a parent, grandparent, sibling, spouse, or friend. This can also be helpful with losses of romantic or friendship relationships, job loss, or other losses you have encountered.
