Grief
Donna McLean
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
Loss and grief are a part of life-we experience them because we live and love, because we care. If you feel stuck and alone in grief and loss, I can travel with you providing support and guidance. Sometimes we may need help being with the parts of us that feel sad. Getting to the other side of grief and loss is not about forgetting the loss, it is about being richer in living for having lost.

Grief
North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Grief can be experienced due to a multitude of losses. We often experience grief after the death of a loved one. Other times we have feelings of grief that surface due to ambiguous losses—such as the loss of a stage of life, the loss of not having children; or grief that emerges after a job loss or a move to a new city. Grief is not a problem to be fixed, it is a natural process of life that needs to be experienced—often in community or with a caring other. Therapy can be a safe place to bear witness to these losses and the grief that accompanies them, while honouring your memories, wishes and also creating meaning for the future.

Grief
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.

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.
