If you’re an adult navigating the profound and often overwhelming feelings of grief and loss, it can seem like no one truly understands the depth of your sorrow. Grief can envelop every part of your life, affecting your emotions, physical health, and daily functioning. Recognizing your need for support during this difficult time is a vital step toward healing.
As a psychotherapist specializing in grief and loss, I offer a compassionate, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings at your own pace. Together, we will work to understand the impact of your loss and develop personalized strategies to help you cope with the intense emotions that come with grieving.
Our sessions will focus on providing you with the skills and tools needed to navigate your grief, including techniques to manage overwhelming emotions, strategies for remembering and honoring your loved one, and ways to rebuild a sense of normalcy at your own pace. We’ll also explore how to maintain connections with others and support systems that can aid in your healing process.
If you’re ready to take steps towards healing and finding a new balance in life after loss, I encourage you to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation. Together, we will tailor our approach to suit your unique needs, ensuring that you feel supported and understood throughout your journey of grief. My expertise in this area ensures that you will receive sensitive, informed, and effective guidance as you move forward.
Grief is a natural response to the loss of a loved one. For most people, the symptoms of grief begin to decrease over time. However, for a small group of people, intense grief persists, and the symptoms are severe enough to cause problems and stop them from continuing with their lives. Prolonged grief disorder is characterized by intense and persistent grief that causes problems and interferes with daily life.
At our private mental health practice, we understand the profound impact and emotional turmoil that follows the tragic loss of a loved one to suicide. Our compassionate and experienced counselors are here to provide support and guidance during this difficult time. Through individualized counseling sessions, we aim to help you navigate the complex emotions, grief, and healing process that accompany such a devastating loss. Our therapists offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to express your feelings, explore coping strategies, and find a path towards healing and rebuilding your life. We are dedicated to providing personalized care and empowering you on your journey towards emotional well-being and resilience.
At La Ronge Counselling, we also focus on providing counselling for intense grief using an evidence-based therapy called “Prolonged Grief Disorder Therapy.”
Prolonged Grief Disorder Treatment (PGDT) is a short-term therapy that addresses the issues that complicate grief and helps strengthen a bereaved person’s natural adaptive capacity. There are components of the therapy to help people get to know grief, manage strong emotions, think about the future, rebuild strong relationships, think about the death, revisit reminders of the loss and access living memories. PGDT delivered in 16 weekly sessions can make a dramatic difference in the life of someone with complicated grief. After PGDT, 70% of people are much improved (Columbia University).
La Ronge Counselling provides individual PGDT sessions. For PGDT counselling to be effective, clients should be dedicated to following a framework of around 16 sessions. Each session lasts about one hour.
More than just therapy, it’s a place to grow.
