Grief
Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
Being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) means your nervous system is finely tuned to the world around you—which can feel both like a gift and a source of constant, physical exhaustion. You process information deeply, feel emotions intensely, and are hyper-aware of environmental stimuli, subtle shifts in rooms, and other people's energy. In a fast-paced world, this often leaves you stuck in chronic overwhelm, fighting off high anxiety, and turning to perfectionism or people-pleasing just to feel safe and manage the sensory overload.I provide specialized, neurodivergent-friendly counselling support for Highly Sensitive Persons looking to thrive rather than just survive. Because an HSP's mind and body are so deeply connected, traditional talk therapy can sometimes feel like it only scratches the surface. We utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle the self-doubt and boundary challenges that HSPs often face. Crucially, we integrate somatic practices, tailored breathing exercises, and targeted visual exercises. By pairing these with neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting, we can look beneath the surface to safely access, process, and release the accumulated physical weight of overstimulation and hidden emotional blocks right where they are held in your nervous system.You do not have to apologize for feeling deeply or hide your sensitivity behind a mask of high-achievement. Together, we will help you slow down, honor your unique traits, and build practical, everyday tools so you can move out of burnout and step into an aligned, intentional way of living. Along with individual therapy, I offer supportive group therapy spaces where you can connect with others who truly understand the experience of navigating the world with a deeply feeling heart and mind.

Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Grief-informed, emotion-focused and trauma-informed therapy.
I provide space for clients to experience grief without judgment or pressure to “move on.” We explore sadness, anger, guilt, changes in identity, memories, and the meaning of the loss while gradually supporting adaptation to life after loss.

Kayla Schofield
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
It's a natural emotional response to losing someone in your life. It can often come with divorce, illness and childhood abuse. There are typically 7 stages of grief. Grief like with any healing is not linear.

Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Grief is a natural and personal response to loss. It is important to allow and feel the emotions that arise, sadness, anger, frustration, confusion, or even numbness. In our work together, I create space for the full range of these experiences. Rather than trying to “move on,” I support clients in gently processing their loss, making sense of what it means to them, and finding a way to stay connected to what matters while continuing to live forward with greater presence and care.

Grief impacts not just emotions but the entire body. I provide a gentle, open space to help process loss while supporting the nervous system through waves of sadness, confusion, or fatigue. Whether it is the loss of a loved one, a pet, a job, or the end of a relationship, you'll learn to navigate grief with compassion and to rediscover purpose in your life.
