Grief
David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
Embracing the journey grief can be a profound and transformative experience. As a specialist in treating people with loss and grief, I work with individualist navigate the complexities of their emotions and find healing through Narrative Therapy and an Internal Family Systems approach. Grief is a powerful force that has a life of its own, often reflecting the depth of love we hold for what we have lost. By engaging in an internal dialogue with our grief, we can begin to unravel its meaning and use it as a source of wisdom and growth. Through this process, we can nourish ourselves with the lessons grief has to offer and move towards a state of peace and acceptance. Remember, it is okay to seek support and guidance during times of loss. You are not alone on this journey.

Grief
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Grief is a natural and personal response to loss. It is important to allow and feel the emotions that arise, sadness, anger, frustration, confusion, or even numbness. In our work together, I create space for the full range of these experiences. Rather than trying to “move on,” I support clients in gently processing their loss, making sense of what it means to them, and finding a way to stay connected to what matters while continuing to live forward with greater presence and care.

Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Grief is a deeply personal and often complex process that can encompass a wide range of emotions and experiences. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we offer a compassionate, integrative, and relational approach to grief therapy, recognizing that each person's journey through grief is unique.
In our therapy sessions, we provide a safe and empathetic environment for individuals to express and process their feelings of loss. We understand that grief can arise from various forms of loss - not just the death of a loved one, but also the loss of relationships, health, dreams, or identity. Our approach is trauma-informed, acknowledging that grief can sometimes trigger or intertwine with past traumas and emotional wounds.
Our therapists utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to support you through your grief journey. This includes narrative therapy, which helps in reauthoring one’s life story in the wake of loss, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to address challenging thought patterns that may arise during grieving. We also incorporate mindfulness practices to help manage the intensity of emotions and foster a gentle self-awareness during this difficult time.
Our goal at Collaborative Care Therapy is to support you in navigating the grieving process in a way that honors your loss and the range of emotions you may be experiencing. We work collaboratively with you to find a path forward that respects your individual process, helping you to integrate the experience of loss into your life in a meaningful way.
Through our virtual therapy sessions, we offer the comfort and convenience of connecting with you wherever you are, providing a consistent source of support as you move through the stages of grief. With Collaborative Care Therapy, you’re not alone in your journey through grief; we are here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, understanding, and hope for healing.

Grief
Joel Mayer
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv
Grief is a process of ups and downs - moving back and forth between the loss that you've experienced and the activities of moving forward. Grief has no timeline and, together, we'll look at how you can engage in the dynamic process of grief in ways that might allow you to both honor the memory of the person/dream that was lost and also engage in restorative activities that help you to also live well in the present.

Grief
Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Grief is a normal and adaptive process, and as such, does not necessarily need treatment. However, some people feel that their feelings of grief are overwhelming. Others feel ‘stuck’ in their grief and would like to talk to someone. The focus of grief therapy is to help you to work through your feelings of grief, to feel supported, and to help you regain a sense of control, and move forward in your life in a way that feels appropriate to you.
Treatment length at MindFit depends on how a person is currently functioning, and how impairing feelings of grief are on daily activities. It may range from 6 to 16 sessions.
During treatment, members work with clincians on a number of strategies, which may include understanding the grief process and telling one’s grief story, identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts or beliefs, carving out time to process the one’s feelings, becoming re-engaged in activities, relaxation and mindfulness strategies, assertive communication skills, self-compassion exercises, and/or identifying and working on one’s values. Our coaches can work with you on tasks that can help in the grieving process, such as writing about your grief, managing through ‘firsts,’ creating rituals or memories in honour of a loved one, etc.

Loss can manifest in various forms, from the passing of a loved one to major life transitions or traumatic events. My approach is grounded in empathy, understanding, and creating a safe space for clients to explore and process their emotions. I integrate evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to help clients manage overwhelming emotions, develop coping skills, and find meaning and healing in their experience of loss. My goal is to walk alongside my clients, offering them the tools, strategies, and support they need to navigate their grief journey at their own pace. As, I believe that everyone's grief journey is unique, and my role is to provide personalized support and process tailored to each individual's needs.

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.
