Grief Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Are you grieving a major loss ; facing a big life transition; struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, or overwhelming emotions; working through relationship issues; or are seeking deeper balance, meaning and purpose in your life? Counselling can help you find the time, space and tools to understand your deepest emotions and needs, so you can navigate the challenges you're facing and create the relationships you are longing for.

By processing past material that has become stuck in the nervous system, we can come out of being either overly activated or tuned out. I have devoted my practice to working holistically with those who wish to free themselves from the grips of trauma and return to states of safety, connection and empowerment.

Welcome! Are you constantly feeling worried? Are you feeling overwhelmed by scary thoughts, a difficult pregnancy, breastfeeding, or little sleep? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you grieving a baby who left too soon? Are you struggling with infertility? My goal is to create a space where you can talk about how you are doing without feeling judged. I specialize in perinatal/ reproductive mental health and support individuals and couples to manage their well-being during infertility, pregnancy loss , pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting. I also work with parents who lost their own parent, such as motherless mothers.

I help my clients process grief , trauma and life transitions. Grief may be experienced in death , divorce, change of job, home, friendships, family dynamics and many other aspects of life. By looking at all aspects of the human experience, we can explore the impact these losses have in your day-to-day life and the big picture. We will look at all sides of your loss to create an individualized and well-balanced approach to therapy. Physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally.

What matters most in therapy is that a client feels like they can bring their entire selves into our space to work through what's necessary for healing. I've been a therapist for 16 years. and my clients tend to be going through a significant life transition usually brought on by a significant death , an illness, an ending of a relationship or job or because they are ready to process and heal from trauma (could be C-PTSD or PTSD). Typically, they feel in chaos physically, emotionally and mentally and yearn to feel steady and regulated again. I use mind-body approaches to help them get there.

I have held various supervisory roles, including work at an Employee and Family Assistance program and as a mental health and addictions supervisor, and have been in the counselling field for many years.

Something's in the way. Sadness, anxiety, loneliness, stress, worry, depression, substance use, loss . The world is heavy, and that weight can be paralyzing. You know that you have something to offer. You're compassionate, creative, intelligent, sensitive, loving, and yet strong-willed, skeptical, and maybe even a bit rebellious. It seems as though you don't fit the mold, but it's the mold that doesn't fit you. Social isolation, feeling disconnected from others, from the world, adds to the weight, to the pain. If you could only break free from the self-doubt that cultures and institutions feed, the world might just open up for you.

Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed by life transitions, losses, crises or relationship challenges? Finding that anxiety is becoming unmanageable in your life?

I will use a collaborative approach to work with you to gain clarity, understanding and solutions that will support positive growth and change in your life.

Dr. Cheryl Bucar Having experienced personal and work related loss , I have learned that recovery from the trauma of loss and change is a process. In many situations such as a death or divorce the individual is able to label the loss and associated feelings as grief . Often in an organizational context, individuals do not think that the work related change as loss which can trigger profound feelings of grief . Understanding organizational loss in this context, normalizing the feelings that go with this type of change allows the integration of this knowing into my group and individual counselling work.

At Nirivia Counselling our goal is to help people develop a greater understanding of their issues and increase positive supports to create change. We have a deep respect for our clients and the therapeutic relationship, we work collaboratively through both talk and arts-based creative techniques to create insight and promote healing.

At times we can feel distanced from the sense of joy, contentment, peace, and meaning for which we most deeply yearn. The ability to express ourselves and relate to others in wholehearted, self-aligned and authentic ways is complex and interwoven with both conscious and unconscious influences at work in our lives. If you are navigating sadness, grief , issues surrounding high sensitivity, or spiritual/religious trauma, you do not have to hold this alone. It would be my honour to support you in exploring, deepening, and endeavouring to transform these experiences in alignment with your unique sense of purpose and life expression.

At the same time, I believe that we have innate resilience and strength to draw upon and a capacity to change and grow.

I entered this field as a way to heal my own wounds while trying to work through the sudden and tragic loss of a family member. I am often reminded of the quote by A.E. Housman - 'I, a stranger and afraid, in a world I never made', and know what it's like to lose hope in a rapidly changing world, with many things supposedly outside of our control. My intention is to use my real-life experience as a way to offer hope and possibility to those who’ve had to deal with similar pain, grief , and suffering in their lives.

Hi, I’m Nicole. I live in the beautiful Sea to Sky corridor & accept online clients throughout BC. I believe that through therapy all people have the opportunity to learn and understand themselves on a deeper level. With this inner exploration one can experience more understanding, self compassion, and open space for more joy in life – starting today. Therapy can support clients to explore personal patterns that may no longer be serving them. Together clients and therapists work to safely let go of those patterns while building supportive resources, discovering new skills, and creating a personalized tool kit to move forward with.

Do negative thoughts, feeling the pain of a lost loved one or beloved pet impact your daily life? I am deeply interested in the wellbeing of you and your pet. I have always had a special connection with animals and focus on pet loss and grief as well as the anxiety and depression that can result from the loss of your loved one. The constant stream of negative thoughts is most damaging and giving us bad energy.
