Grief
Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
Loss can change your life's landscape. Whether you are grieving the death of someone you love, the end of a relationship, a change in your health, a job, or another significant loss, grief can feel overwhelming and deeply disorienting.
Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something that matters to us. It can affect how we think, feel, connect with others, and experience the world. You may find yourself moving between sadness, anger, guilt, loneliness, or moments when the loss feels particularly raw and unexpected.
Grief isn't something you "get over," and healing doesn't mean forgetting or leaving the loss behind. As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I am specifically trained in EMDR-GRIEF, a structured EMDR protocol designed to support the processing of grief and loss.
Together, we'll create space for your grief while gently exploring the experiences, emotions, and memories that may feel difficult to carry. We'll work at a pace that feels manageable, with compassion for where you are in your grieving process.
Our work is not about letting go of the person, relationship, or life you have lost. It's about finding a way to carry the loss while gradually reconnecting with yourself, your values, and the parts of life that still hold meaning.
You don't have to stop loving, remembering, or grieving to begin living again. Together, we can work toward carrying your loss with greater compassion while making room for connection, meaning, and moments of peace.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel heavy, lost, or overwhelmed by the absence of someone or something important in your life? Grief can show up in many ways—sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or even confusion. It’s common to feel pressure to “move on” or hide your pain. You may find yourself carrying feelings that feel too big or too complicated to process alone.
These reactions are not a sign of weakness—they are natural responses to loss. What matters is how you honour and work with them rather than push them away. Together, we can explore your grief, hold space for what you’re feeling, and support you in finding ways to carry loss while reconnecting with life—so you can feel a bit lighter, more grounded, and more at peace over time. You grieve for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Grief
Mind By Design®
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychology and Coaching Clinics
Although grief is a necessary reaction to losses of every sort, complicated grief occurs when one cannot adapt to their losses. The same is true for bereavement, which is the period of grief and mourning after experiencing a loss. Symptoms of complicated grief or bereavement can include extended periods of acute grief, extensive preoccupation with the loss, feelings of worthlessness, extended feeling or numbness or denial, changes in personal relationships, and engaging in self-destructive activities.

The Cohen Clinic
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Grief is our processing of loss. Loss comes in all forms (i.e. death, divorce, break-up, job loss, ending of a friendship, etc.) Emotions that often accompany grief are guilt, anger, sadness, and despair. There is no right or wrong way to grieve – everyone’s grief process is unique to them and their own experiences. Clinicians will work with you to understand and cope with the grief you are experiencing, allowing you to feel the sadness while beginning to move forward in your life.

Meaningfully Connected Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP or RP (Qualifying)
When we grieve, many of our past losses bombard us, longing to be mourned and felt. Stored up tragedies that we have not yet grieved come to the surface. When you are in the throws of this, it can feel like the floor has collapsed beneath you and you no longer know who you are. You may be grieving the loss of a relationship, identity, health, dream or combination of these. It can be a particularly lonely place, and those around you may mean well but not understand what is going on or how to support you. Our passion is helping people from various walks of life who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and irritable. We are interested in getting to know your experience and unique pain point.
We prioritize rapport-building and using a compassionate approach so that you feel safe as you explore the experiences and feelings that are coming up for you today. You are not your difficulties and so it is just as important for us to explore your goals, strengths and story as we tackle the challenges that you are facing. If you are looking for a compassionate therapist who cares not only about your difficulties, but also about how they developed and impact you, who is culturally sensitive and aware, and who will support your self-discovery, we would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Contact us today to schedule a complimentary consultation by phone where we can answer your questions. You deserve a meaningful and peaceful life.
