Loss or Grief
Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Social Workers and Psychotherapists
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.

Kurt Zubatiuk
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.

Jaime Brand
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Associate Certified Coach (ACC)
As humans, we are all likely to experience loss or grief over the course of our lifetime. While inevitable, it is not something we are often prepared to experience and/or process when it happens. When experiencing a sense of loss or grief it is important to find support in a safe space to share your feelings, thoughts, and fears, as you navigate your life post-loss, of any kind. I am honoured to provide that space for you.

Loss or Grief
Kristie Brassard & Associates
Registered Social Worker, RSW
In today's society, we are expected to "suck it up and move on" in situations related to loss. However, grief has a mind of its own. It shows up when we don't expect it. It comes back when we thought we've dealt with it. Trying to avoid it and numb it out only makes it stronger. Therapy can help you heal.
Whether you have lost a loved one through death or a relationship ending, have gone through a difficult life transition or are grieving the loss of something else important to you, we will work together to practice ways to sit with, honour, transform and heal grief in a supportive, non-judgmental and compassionate space.

Magdalena Karakehayova
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Losing someone close to us can be among the most painful of life experiences. An example of one of my approaches to working with grieving clients involves learning how to live with the pain and loss along with finding ways to honor the life and memory of the bereaved. However, grief is a largely personal process, with many different types of loss that each require their own unique approach and attentiveness depending on what feels best for clients during this most vulnerable time.

Loss or Grief
Nora Taylor, MA, RP
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology 1994
Loss is an inevitable aspect of life; all of us face loss in our lives; in my own experience and what I see in my clients is that often people can get stuck when they fail to acknowledge the impact of loss in our lives due to death, health, dreams long forgotten, what we have hoped for; what did happen, what didn't. Again it is a process. It comes in waves; it can help to have someone there to be with you in this process. Reference Francis Weller; The Wild Edge of Sorrow. Also Russ Harris. ACT.

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.

Loss or Grief
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.
