Grief
Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist in Ontario
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, MDiv
At some point in life, most people will experience loss and the grief that comes with it. Along with the grief will be feelings, varying from deep sadness to anger. Adapting to loss is different for each person and often depends on one’s relationship to what was lost.

Heal(ing) Trauma Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), HBA, MPsy
From a trauma-informed understanding, loss or grief create an experience of disconnectedness that often result in feeling lonely, isolated, abandoned, failed, rejected, lost among others. The work we can do will include helping you better understand your loss or grief, developing healthier and more helpful ways of coping with it, and ultimately helping you process it so you reconnect and move on with your life.

Shanna Budzinsky
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Grief can feel overwhelming and confusing and it can be hard to know how to cope with these emotions and our sense of loss. In times like these it can be so helpful to have a person come alongside and walk this journey with you. In my work with individuals who have experienced grief, I support each person to discover their own unique path to healing from grief. Book a free consultation to explore if we are a good fit.

Grief
Kaylen Leonienco
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
Losing someone in our life is never an easy thing to go through. Whether we had a loving or difficult relationship with someone, talking about this loss can be helpful. It is also important to note that loss and grief is also experienced in a loss of a job, end of a relationship or friendship, moving to a new city, or any major change within your life.

Susan Fehr
Registered Psychotherapist, RP Qualifying, MA
Grief doesn't move in a straight line, and it doesn't come with a timeline. I offer grief-informed support for clients navigating loss in all its forms, creating space to feel what needs to be felt without rushing the process, and helping clients carry their loss in a way that still allows for a full life.

Grief
Sunlight Counselling, Melody Mann
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief can feel overwhelming, complex, and isolating-whether it comes from losing a loved one, the death of a partner, or the end of an important relationship. Having supported my father through the final stages of cancer and navigated my own experiences of loss, I bring both professional insight and personal understanding to this work. In therapy, I provide a compassionate, safe space to process your emotions, honour your experiences, and find ways to carry forward while staying connected to what matters most. Together, we’ll explore paths toward healing, acceptance, and renewed resilience.

Grief
Andrea Wiebe
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Hello, I’m Andrea Wiebe, a therapist specializing in supporting individuals and families navigating grief and loss. I provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can process their emotions, honor their experiences, and explore their journey toward healing.
I help clients build self-awareness, cope with intense emotions, and navigate the changes that come with loss. Together, we work to release unhelpful beliefs and coping patterns, cultivate self-compassion, and find ways to live meaningfully while carrying the memories of what has been lost.
My goal is to guide clients toward lives that are grounded in resilience, connection, and purpose—empowering them to move through grief while fostering hope, emotional balance, and meaningful relationships with themselves and others.

Waterloo is the tech capital of Canada outside Toronto—home to the University of Waterloo, the country's leading technology and engineering university, and Wilfrid Laurier University, as well as dozens of technology startups and established companies in what is known as the Waterloo Region tech corridor or 'Canada's Silicon Valley'—and the mental health landscape is defined by the particular pressures of engineering culture, tech entrepreneurship, and the academic intensity of one of the world's leading computer science and engineering programs. UWaterloo's demanding co-op program and a culture that can be dismissive of mental health concerns are a significant driver of demand, and the stress of competitive employment and high performance expectations is consistently present. Grand River Hospital and St. Mary's General Hospital provide behavioural health services, and a growing private therapy sector serves both the student and tech professional communities. Common therapy concerns include academic pressure and perfectionism in elite engineering programs, tech entrepreneurship stress, STEM culture and mental health stigma, anxiety, burnout, and identity development in a community where technical achievement is the primary measure of status.
