Grief and Loss Counselling in Oak Ridges, ON.

Grief comes in many forms-whether it's the loss of a loved one, a pet, the end of a relationship, or even a loss of identity. We all grieve differently. There is no right or wrong way to grieve - only your way. Having someone walk with you through your grief can make a meaningful difference. Grief is a journey, and you don't have to go through it alone. Together, we will work through your loss at your own pace that feels right for you.

Grief/loss is something we inevitably all face, and can be a challenging journey. It can often come in waves which can be incredibly difficult to navigate alone. It is normal to feel anger, resentment and isolation along with the sadness. I am passionate about supporting you through this process, while providing you with tools to better manage the pain.

Grief and loss can feel overwhelming, isolating, and unpredictable. At Willow Tree Wellness, I offer a compassionate and grounded space where clients can explore their emotions at their own pace. Through a personalized, trauma-informed approach, I help individuals process their loss, find meaning, and reconnect with hope.

Together, we work to process painful emotions, explore meaning, and find ways to integrate the loss into life while nurturing resilience and hope.

If you are dealing with the loss of a loved one, whether it be from death, divorce, or other circumstances, you are on a very painful journey, one that takes some time to traverse and is not easy. It can be helpful to have someone like myself walk with you on that journey and honour your feelings of loss and sadness and, when you are ready, to help pick up the pieces and continue to live a productive and satisfying life. That does not mean you leave the past behind but that you find a way of integrating a new life with the old. Reaching out is a sign of courage and strength.

Grief can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. In our sessions, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where your feelings are honored and your story matters. Together, we’ll explore healthy ways to process loss, build coping strategies, and rediscover meaning in life. My approach focuses on resilience and healing, helping you move forward at your own pace while finding hope and strength for the future.

Grief after pregnancy or infant loss is often invisible to the outside world, but its impact runs deep. As someone who has both experienced and supported others through this kind of heartbreak, I offer a space where your loss is acknowledged and your pain doesn’t have to be hidden. Clients often share that they feel deeply understood and less alone in our sessions. Together, we’ll gently explore your grief, honour what’s been lost, and find ways to move forward that hold space for both healing and remembrance - on your terms, in your time.

Grieving doesn’t follow a timeline, and no two experiences are the same. Whether you’re coping with the death of a loved one, miscarriage, relationship loss, or a major life transition, therapy can help you process the pain without rushing your healing. At Rooted in Resilience, we create a compassionate space where you can honour your loss, express your emotions freely, and slowly reconnect with hope. Together, we’ll explore meaning, memory, and what it looks like to carry grief while still moving forward.

Life can be difficult. Working through grief and loss can also be very challenging. It is very commom to get “stuck” in this very painful process. Grief and loss can take on many forms whether it be through death, separation, divorce or other forms of loss. My approach is direct and “hands on”. Through a variety of exercises, reflections and strategies, I help the client through his/her own cycle of grief and loss. This process allows the client to explore “deep rooted” feelings. Through Cognitive Behavior Therapy exercises, the client regains some confidence and skill in being able to cope with their day to day life situations and ongoing life challenges.

Grief is the emotional suffering we feel when we lose something or someone important to us. This can include the loss of friend, partner, or family member, a change in life circumstances, death of a pet, getting fired, loss of health, safety, a dream... anything that we once had and now do not. The intensity and process can be unique for each person, but like all other emotions that impact the quality of our life, ignoring it or suppressing it does not work. Seeking support as we move through the various stages of grief is very helpful. Planning for our healing is crucial so that we do not become 'stuck' in the pain. A skilled therapist can assist us during this vulnerable time.

Grief can be overwhelming and deeply personal. I offer a compassionate space where you can explore your loss without pressure or judgment. Together, we’ll honour your unique experience, make space for your emotions, and support your healing process. Using gentle approaches, we’ll work at your pace to help you find meaning, connection, and a path forward—without rushing or forcing closure.

Grief and loss are significant life experiences that can be difficult to manage. I have heard from many that sometimes it seems like the extreme sadness will not leave them. I work with such clients to try and make space in their life to experience positive emotions along with the sadness. Grief is very individual and some clients desire help to "move past the grief", while others do not agree with this. I work to meet clients where they are, to optimize their day to day life experiences according to their own individual hopes. In addition, I help clients to find meaning in their experience of grief and loss, honour the life of their lost loved one, and manage the related difficult emotions.

When supporting individuals through grief, I use compassion and presence to hold a safe space for them to explore their feelings. Grief isn’t only about losing someone physically—it can also arise when loved ones don’t meet certain milestones, when expectations aren’t fulfilled, or through personal losses. I work collaboratively with clients to unpack their experience of loss, provide emotional support, and help shift their mindset so they can hold space for their grief and gradually move forward.

In grief therapy, I provide a compassionate and safe space for you to work through the pain of loss. Whether you’re grieving the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or another major life change, I help you express your emotions and understand what you’re going through. Together, we explore healthy ways to cope, find comfort, and gradually move toward healing while still honoring your loss.

I bring a great deal of compassion and empathy to work involving grief, whether that grief is from the death of a loved one or the loss of a dream or idea. I incorporate elements from narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and internal family systems therapy into my work surrounding grief. In a safe, confidential space, we'll discuss ways to help you cope with your loss.

It takes great courage to experience grief and survive loss. I can teach you how to be present to your own vast and deep emotions in a way that allows your body to release and your spirit to expand and become more through loss. Through the most difficult experiences, we discover our strength. We each have a unique path to discover. Through learning to respect our own timing, we allow ourselves to stay long enough in our sadness to develop a relationship of respect and honoring that empowers us to move on when we are ready.

Grief, another powerful emotion we experience when dealing with loss, is a conditioning that affects all human beings. In our society there is often a notion that we should hurry up and get over our grief but maybe we should grieve as long as we need to. One way to see loss is to see loss as change and then to let change in. By developing a practice of loving kindness towards ourselves and others we can take a gentler approach toward loss and pain.

My approach to grief and loss therapy is grounded in compassion, patience, and the understanding that everyone experiences loss differently. I create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their emotions and share their stories without fear of judgment. Using Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques, I help clients process their grief, honor their loss, and reconnect with their values. Clients gain tools to cope, find meaning, and move forward with greater strength and resilience.

Experiencing a loss can be devastating. It can permeate our thoughts, disorient us, leave us feeling exhausted and depleted. And yet, experiencing it is the key to moving forward. I can help you bear the load in times of struggle, and process your feelings in times of clarity. Grieving is a form of healing, an undertaking that's closely connected to what it means to be human. It is often painful, but walking the path with someone beside you can help a great deal. Reach out today to start this journey with someone you can trust to care and respond to you with kindness and compassion.

Contemporary approaches to coping with grief and loss have shown that the path of acceptance and healing is not linear, but a winding road and unique process for every individual. Psychotherapy can help you along your path by providing an outlet for those challenging emotions and providing you with tools to help you cope. With personal experience, I will lend a hand in helping you to cope and integrate the challenges presented by the loss of a loved one or a significant relationship as you find your new normal. Those we lose remain in our hearts, and by remembering them with gratitude we can begin to heal.

At Hera Therapy, we approach grief and loss from a cognitive-behavioural therapy perspective.

We understand how difficult grief and loss can be, and want you to feel fully understood so you can heal.

In Grief & Loss therapy, I provide a compassionate, supportive space for clients to process their emotions at their own pace. I understand that everyone’s journey through grief is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet each client’s needs. Using a combination of therapeutic techniques, including Narrative Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help clients express their feelings, navigate the stages of grief, and find healing through meaningful reflection. Together, we work toward acceptance, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of hope for the future.

The loss of someone close or a comforting presence in your life is amongst the most difficult emotional experiences to go through alone. Sometimes it can feel like grief is never ending, particularly when you have become stuck or are afraid to fully engage with your feelings. This is no time to be alone or surrounded by people that don't understand the gravity of your loss. You can trust men to help you work through the process of grieving at your own pace and in your own way, by being there for you each step of the way.
