Loss or Grief
Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Disenfranchised grief or complicated grief are some of my specialities with grief. Disenfranchised grief is: "not openly acknowledged or publicly supported through mourning practices or rituals because the experience is not valued or counted [by others] as a loss". This grief can be very isolating, and complicated grief can also be isolating. I am glad to meet for a consultation to hear your story - you do not need to do this alone.

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Our society does not provide us with a language or many rituals/practices to process grief or loss on an individual level or as a collective. Grief can occur in so many traditionally unmarked instances in our lives, from the loss of a job/career, relationship breakup, relocation of home, loss of a pet, family member, friend, colleague or loved one. Often we can feel very alone in our grief as a result. Grief and loss can bring up a whole range of emotions, and trigger losses we have experienced in the past. I will work with you to understand your experience of grief as it is a very individual process, normalize what you're feeling and going through, and provide a safe space for you to process and reconcile your grief. We'll work together to discover a new normal after loss. It will take time, but I want you to know that you're not alone in this.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP (Registered Psychotherapist), Diploma TIRP, member CAPT
When we lose someone, through death or in some other way, we need someone to talk to. Someone who listens and strives to understand as we work though the often complex and confusing range of emotions that loss and grief bring. Most of all we need someone to be there who can be steady and accept the intense pain that we carry, the rage, the sadness, all of it. Eventually something inside can lighten. Perhaps it doesn't go away, but it hurts less. We can tolerate it. Manage it. Life opens again.

Psychotherapy with people who have experienced losses, especially traumatic losses often centers around grief and mourning. Navigating the many challenges of mourning while trying to cope with present day life is what I help people work on in therapy.

Jennifer Ritchie Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, CYW
*Welcoming new clients for immediate booking* Are you struggling to adjust to a "new normal"? Whether it be from the loss of a loved one or from the end of a relationship or a significant life transition, these feelings of grief are real and they can be intense. Though I will never know exactly what you're feeling, I can help you process the many emotions that will surface as you move through the grieving process. Allow me to support you in finding acceptance and a way forward following your loss. I will support you with learning new skills to help you cope and will provide you the space to just 'be' if that's what you need... nothing will be asked of you, no demands will be made of you, you can just use the time to process things at a pace that feels comfortable. Little by little, you'll find that pain and love will find new ways to coexist. Allow me to support you.

Clare Karasik
Registered Social Worker, MSW, BSW, RSW
Grief can be one of the most gut-wrenching feelings we may experience as humans. Grief can affect how we see ourselves, how we see the world, what we value, and what we want. Whether you are grieving loss of a life, a relationship, a job, our physical health, ideas of how our life would look, or anything else, I provide support to process difficult feelings, engage in self-care, establish new parts of your identity, and determine boundaries that feel right for you. I recognize that there is no "right" way to grieve and hold space for whatever it looks like for you.

Loss or Grief
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Being alive means experiencing inevitable loss, which is normally followed by grief and recovery. The loss can be the loss of a person, image, ideal, or even a hope. However, the grief and recovery can sometimes be complicated. Every person follows a unique pattern of grief processing. The key for a healthy recovery lies in understanding this pattern in a supported environment. The therapy is about helping the client to get to this insight. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
