Grief
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Grief is often a complex response to what is missing from our lives—whether that is the loss of a loved one or the realization that we never received the care, safety, or parenting we deserved. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, I help you navigate the heavy, often unacknowledged pain of a 'relationship that never was'; for example, not having the relationship with parents you needed or wanted.
Using a Parts Work lens, we create a compassionate space to honor the parts of you that are still carrying the sadness and anger of those unmet needs. We don't just focus on 'moving on'; we focus on giving those younger parts of you the acknowledgment they never received. By witnessing and healing these old wounds, we work to transform your grief into a grounded sense of self-compassion and internal peace.

Grief does not follow a neat timeline, and loss can affect every part of your life. I offer a supportive space to process grief, whether you are coping with death, relationship loss, family estrangement, identity loss, diagnosis-related grief, or another significant life change.

Deep loss or grief is an intensely physical and emotional weight that simply cannot be rushed, managed, or rationalized away by cognitive willpower. I provide a completely unhurried, supportive online space in BC to honour the unique shape of your sorrow without trying to push you toward "closure." By welcoming your grief experientially, we allow your body to carry and integrate the loss safely and naturally over time.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed understanding, loss or grief create an experience of disconnectedness that often result in feeling lonely, isolated, abandoned, failed, rejected, lost among others. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your loss or grief, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and ultimately helping you process it so you reconnect and move on with your life.

Grief
Cayla Townes, Memento Psychotherapy & Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC
Depending on the thing we have lost, our grief may be situational or it may be something that will never go away. I work with people dealing with all kinds of losses: jobs, loved ones (including pets), relationships, financial security, health. Sometimes we are able to move past our grief, but other times it is something we have to learn to carry with us. I work with people to figure out how to carry grief in a way that means they can still function and enjoy their lives.

The pain of loss can feel overwhelming, whether it’s the death of a loved one, a relationship, or a life transition.

Grief
Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
I work with individuals navigating grief and loss in its many forms, whether after the death of a loved one or pet, the end of a relationship, a major life transition, or another meaningful loss. Grief can feel overwhelming, confusing, or difficult to move through, especially when the world expects you to simply “move on.” Using a trauma-informed, compassionate, and somatic approach - we make space for your grief while tending to the emotional and nervous system impacts of loss. The goal is not to rush the grieving process, but to help you move through it with compassion, support, and a deeper sense of stability, self-trust, understanding, and meaning.

Grief
Loralee Schultz
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc Psyc, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) CRPO & CCPA & BCACC Member
Grief is a deeply isolating experience, and our culture frequently rushes people to 'move on' before they are truly ready. In my practice, I believe that loss cannot be neatly resolved or fixed; instead, it needs to be safely carried and witnessed. I offer a gentle, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, with all of the messy, unpredictable emotions that accompany profound loss. Together, we will honour your timeline, process the emotional weight at your own pace, and gently explore how to carry your grief forward without losing your connection to yourself.
