Grief
Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief can feel overwhelming, complex, and isolating-whether it comes from losing a loved one, the death of a partner, or the end of an important relationship. Having supported my father through the final stages of cancer and navigated my own experiences of loss, I bring both professional insight and personal understanding to this work. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, safe space to process your emotions, honour your experiences, and find ways to carry forward while staying connected to what matters most. Together, we’ll explore paths toward healing, acceptance, and renewed resilience.

Grief
Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Losing someone in our life is never an easy thing to go through. Whether we had a loving or difficult relationship with someone, talking about this loss can be helpful. It is also important to note that loss and grief is also experienced in a loss of a job, end of a relationship or friendship, moving to a new city, or any major change within your life.

Grief
Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a timeline. I offer grief-informed support for clients navigating loss in all its forms, creating space to feel what needs to be felt without rushing the process, and helping clients carry their loss in a way that still allows for a full life.

Grief
Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Grief can feel overwhelming and confusing and it can be hard to know how to cope with these emotions and our sense of loss. In times like these it can be so helpful to have a person come alongside and walk this journey with you. In my work with individuals who have experienced grief, I support each person to discover their own unique path to healing from grief. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Grief
Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), 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
Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist in Ontario
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, MDiv
At some point in life, most people will experience loss and the grief that comes with it. Along with the grief will be feelings, varying from deep sadness to anger. Adapting to loss is different for each person and often depends on one’s relationship to what was lost.

Kitchener — often referenced alongside Waterloo as part of the Waterloo Region — is at the center of Canada's most significant technology hub outside Toronto, home to the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, and dozens of major tech startups and scale-ups, creating persistent demand for therapists who work with innovation-sector burnout, high-stakes career pressure, and the psychological costs of startup culture. The region's growing immigrant population from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East adds cultural diversity to therapy demand that the private therapy community is still catching up to reflect. Grand River Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside an active private therapy community. Kitchener's rapid diversification — beyond its German-heritage Oktoberfest identity — shapes a dynamic and evolving therapy culture.
