Loss or Grief
Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief affects each individual differently and while there are stages of grief they can come and go and often surprise us when the feelings show up. We often do not realize the life events that can lead to feelings of grief and loss which can include the loss of a pet, divorce, or even life changes where we grieve the loss of our old career or routine. I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics (if relevant) to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Loss or Grief
Lindsay Kennedy
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist in Alberta
Loss can be one of life’s most stressful events. Grief and bereavement are how you experience loss, and they can envelop you in powerful emotions, call into question things you thought you knew, and have an enormous impact on your life.
Grief occurs when you lose someone or something that is important to you. Grieving can be a response to:
The death of a family member, friend, or pet.
Coming to terms with a medical illness/diagnosis for yourself or for someone you care about.
The end of a pregnancy.
Witnessing yourself and others age, and face death.
Life transitions.
The loss of a relationship or going through a divorce.
Feelings, thoughts, reactions, and challenges related to grief are very personal. Family members often grieve in different ways, which can lead to tensions in an already stressful time. You may have thoughts or feelings that seem at odds with each other. You may also notice that your grief changes over time, possibly resurfacing around holidays and other life milestones.
Grief responses are a part of the human experience, and nobody grieves in quite the same way. Grieving and healing take time, but that doesn’t mean that you need to go through the journey alone. Grief counselling can support you in expressing emotions, making meaning of the loss, coping with the changes in your life, healing the pain of loss, and embracing your life more fully.

Loss or Grief
Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Our society does not provide us with a language or many rituals/practices to process grief or loss on an individual level or as a collective. Grief can occur in so many traditionally unmarked instances in our lives, from the loss of a job/career, relationship breakup, relocation of home, loss of a pet, family member, friend, colleague or loved one. Often we can feel very alone in our grief as a result. Grief and loss can bring up a whole range of emotions, and trigger losses we have experienced in the past. I will work with you to understand your experience of grief as it is a very individual process, normalize what you're feeling and going through, and provide a safe space for you to process and reconcile your grief. We'll work together to discover a new normal after loss. It will take time, but I want you to know that you're not alone in this.

Loss or Grief
Rachel Delos Santos
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP(Qualifying)
In my approach to loss and grief, I primarily use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you process and feel the emotions of your grief fully. Together, we will encourage you to embrace your grief and transform it into something meaningful and resonant, rather than a source of ongoing pain and hurt. Our sessions will focus on exploring and understanding your emotional experiences, allowing you to move through your loss with compassion and support. Additionally, we will incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to equip you with practical skills and tools for day-to-day coping. Through this integrative approach, you will learn to navigate your grief, finding ways to honour your loss while building resilience and inner strength.
