Grief
Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Grief and loss have such wide reaching and long lasting effects on all of us. We can be left wondering why we didn't experess our feelings in the ways we were told to or expected to; wondering why the pain has lasted as long as it has; or we may have complicated thoughts and feelings towards those we've lost that make this grief complicated, or perhaps make it feel invisible. How ever you grief is ok - and together we can build an understanding of what grief work looks like for you, and how you can take the experiences you've had and the loved ones you've lost forward in a way that is meaningful to you. Death is not the only form of loss - loss of home, family support, of experiences and relationships we thought could continue are all painful losses that we can explore together.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I provide compassionate support to individuals coping with the emotional impact of bereavement, life transitions, and significant losses. Grief is a deeply personal and often complex process that can affect every aspect of a person's life. In a safe and empathetic space, I help clients process their pain, make sense of their emotions, and find ways to honour their loss while gradually moving toward healing. My approach is gentle, patient, and tailored to each individual's unique experience, recognizing that there is no "right" way to grieve.

Grief
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Grief is not limited to death alone. People may grieve relationships, marriages, communities, identities, belief systems, health, safety, or hoped-for futures. Experiences such as divorce, trauma, loss of faith community, emotionally harmful relationships, illness, or major life transitions can create profound feelings of sadness, disorientation, loneliness, and emotional overwhelm.
I provide grief counselling and trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults navigating bereavement, relational loss, complicated grief, and significant life changes. Therapy offers a supportive space to process loss, make meaning of painful experiences, understand emotional responses to grief and trauma, and gradually reconnect with oneself and with life in a sustainable and compassionate way.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Grief doesn't follow the stages, and it doesn't finish on a schedule. I work with people carrying loss in all its forms, death, but also the losses that don't get funerals: relationships, identities, futures that didn't happen. I'm not going to reframe it as a lesson or tell you what it's made you. Sometimes it is simply loss, and it deserves somewhere to be held as that.

Halyna Polityka
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MEd
An inevitable part of life. Whether it's your first loss or big change or you've had many, it's always a good idea to check-in on it and give yourself time to process and add a few (new) tools to your toolkit.

Grief
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Grief is not something to “get over.” It is something we learn to carry, understand, and integrate over time. Whether you are grieving a person, relationship, identity, role, future, or major life change, therapy can offer a space to honour the pain without being alone in it. I support clients in moving through grief with compassion, patience, and meaning.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
Recovery through an experiential means of grieving is essential in that one cannot get over the heartbreak until they allow themselves to feel it. Experiential focused techniques involve fully experiencing our emotions and unmet needs, in effort to transcend this pain. One of my most unique specialties focus on Survivors of Suicide(S.O.S), I am a trained Survivors of Suicide(S.O.S), facilitator who has previously co-facilitated this group, for those who are grieving the loss of a family member or loved one by suicide. One of the complexities of mourning a suicide involves the additional shock of a sudden death, in which the bereaved may not feel they had the chance to ask or say what they needed to. The second tier of this grief involves a violent death. Many mourners suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, particularly if they have discovered the body. This often adds to a sense of sur-realness or not fitting in with the rest of grieving society. The support system of survivors of suicide may be weaker than those afflicted with other types of mourning. Loved ones may pull away due to their own sense of helplessness and discomfort, leaving them with a further sense of isolation and loss. Survivors require guidance regarding how to talk to their children about the manner in which their loved one died. Due to the many complexities of this process, survivors of suicide may get stuck in any particular phase of grief or take much longer to complete them. As a result of all these special challenges, survivors of suicide require enough safety to share their story with others, whom they feel can understand the uniqueness of their pain. This is a particularly special and complicated grieving process which I believe requires the specific training and experience which I offer to clinically assist those who are in this category of mourners.
