Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I have a strong personal and professional interest in the pursuit of inner peace despite overwhelming despair. I've worked with individuals overcoming loss of others, self, and things in-between. I encourage clients to engage, disclose, emote, reflect, and forgive; remembering the lost, speaking with them, saying goodbye, or whatever else their particular healing process requires.

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.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
To lose and mourn those we love and care for is one of the fundamental givens of these human lives we lead. Grief is like an ocean tide: the ebb and flow - an ongoing, non-linear process that involves many phases of feeling, remembering and making meaning from these experiences. Therapy can provide a space to grapple with the both the immediate and life-long experience of grief as well as with the existential anxiety that can result when we confront death as a universal truth.

LifeCycle Counselling
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, MPE, RP
Grief is the process of reacting to a loss. This loss could be physical (death of a loved one), social (such as a divorce), or occupational (such as work-related). An individual experiencing grief may have conflicted feelings and may experience fluctuations in symptoms throughout their process. Often times, individuals might feel as though they have accepted the loss and have gotten closure. However, later on they may begin to experience grief again and that is okay. Closure is not a one-time thing, it can happen over the course of weeks, months, or even years. Sometimes we are able to gain closure on certain aspects of the loss, and other parts may take a bit longer. Individuals may find that their emotional reaction changes and fluctuates, and can entail different emotions and behaviors. Feelings of sadness can also begin to intensify as the individual begins to yearn to be with the loved one again.
Psychotherapy can be effective in helping an individual overcome grief by allowing the individual to come to terms with the loss, to help work through pain and grief, and help to learn how to move forward and adapt to a life without the loved one. Psychotherapy can also help you to find ways to maintain a connection with the loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy approaches have been successful in helping to treat grief and loss. Additionally, Relaxation Techniques and Mindfulness-based interventions, may also be helpful.
Book an appointment today! Overcoming grief and loss can feel overwhelming. It can impact various aspects of your overall well-being.

Grief is one of the most painful feelings we will ever experience. It comes and goes in waves, sometimes bringing us to our knees unable to breath, and other times leaving us feeling almost normal (with or without accompanying guilt). Whatever the circumstances of your loss, grief is not meant to be experienced alone. Whether through family, community, friendship, or faith, we must find a way to live with shattered dreams, and the pervasive ache of loss. When help is needed, we are here for you. Reach out today to help us find the right person to support you at this time.

Grieving is a natural process in life. Complicated grief however can disrupt your sleep, work and relationships in ways that are profoundly challenging to identity. Be not dismayed. The path has been travelled many times. If you are suffering a tragic loss or life transition like a job loss or a marriage, grieving can support the process in developing a new life moving forward.

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.
