Grief Therapists in Calgary, AB

Painful and terrifying experiences that we experience in childhood as well as in adulthood, can have lasting negative effects on our lives. These experiences often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, isolated and having difficulties managing strong emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, shame and guilt. Taking the first step towards addressing these challenges can be anxiety provoking; my role is to join you on this journey towards healing.

Thank you for seeking a psychologist; it’s an important decision. With over a decade of experience in the field of mental health, I acknowledge my imperfections, while also fully committed to understanding and assisting you in achieving your goals. My areas of specialty include all forms of anxiety and loss, as well as holding space for the ‘hard to feel or talk about’ life issues. I aim to be available six days a week, including evenings. I also offer you a free 15-minute phone chat so you can check out my voice, my energy, and ask me any questions you might have. When you reach out to Made in Thought, here's what you can expect:

I have been in private practice since 2004, bringing a warm, comprehensive, practical, & holistic approach to mental health and wellness. Primary areas of clinical focus that include: depression and anxiety, grief and loss, major life transitions, stress management, marital enrichment, divorce care, family communication, spiritual care, empowerment and assertiveness training. I offer individual, couple, family therapy, as well as a number of unique group programs.

I have experience working with a variety of client challenges, including relationship challenges (e.g. family conflict, polyamory/open, infidelity, sexuality, attachment patterns), anxiety, depression, identity concerns, life purpose, and transition. I have specialized experience in suicide bereavement, and my predominant areas of practice include grief, attachment, and trauma. My training in somatic attachment is rooted in rewiring the patterning of our interpersonal relationships, which directly impacts how we emotionally process and behave within these relationships.

I believe that by exploring our unique lived experiences, we have the ability to pursue a different future and create the change we desire. I aim to create a warm and welcoming space that encourages the therapeutic goals and healing clients are working towards. My therapeutic experience includes topics of stress, anxiety, depression, grief, caregiving, self-esteem, life transitions, and working towards healthy lifestyle goals. I work with pre-teens, teens, and adults!

Birth can be beautiful and scary. And when a birth doesn't go as planned, it can affect us in ways that we never expected. Right now, you may be staring at your newborn feeling overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, sadness, or fear. Or maybe you’re reeling from a miscarriage, stillbirth, or TFMR, and you need someone to help carry your pain without dismissal or judgment. Or you've gotten through that first year and are dreading the end of your leave and don't know how you're going to get through the transition to work and daycare. If this is you, I can help!

People are often at a point in life where they realize that change needs to occur in order to promote psychological well being. I work with clients to identify their unique skills and facilitate change at their own pace. I offer services to children, teens, adults, and the elderly. The statement that drives my life view is: "Life is colourful and constantly changing." Nature appears to attest to this philosophy as well with the four seasons of colors and changes. With every season, life (and death) ebbs and flows, always towards what is to come...whatever that may be.

Are you grieving? Are you feeling overwhelmed? When we have lost someone or something in our lives, being overwhelmed is normal. We often need to tell our story again and again, in order to process and heal through our losses. Sometimes we need additional support to do this very task in grief, to feel the rollercoaster of emotions with loss but also actively mourn our losses and be able to learn how to hold our stories differently. After 17 years, as a Grief Counsellor at The Grief Support Program, I have moved into private practice to continue this sacred work. I would be honored to work with you in your healing journey.

Hi there! My name is Jolene Siemens and I have been working with children and families for over 20 years in numerous capacities as a teacher, behaviour strategist, and now as a Registered Psychologist.

If you are experiencing anxiety, grief, stress, trauma, or are struggling with parenting, I will meet and honour where you are at in your journey and move forward with you.

Are long term difficulties due to complex and traumatic experiences (often going back to childhood) continuing to make life challenging for you? Do you have an unspoken and/or unexplored grief that accompanies these experiences? Is your current relationship struggling? To add to this complexity are you neurodiverse (eg., ADHD, austism spectrum disorder, gifted) or suspect you are? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you are like many of my clients.

Have you felt unseen, unheard, invisible? Do you feel too much, too loud, too big, too emotional, or too WEIRD? Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, in crisis, unsure of the path to take? Maybe it's time to try something a little different with someone who gets it? Hi, I'm Steph and I'm happy and grateful you have found me and Walking the Path Counselling. I am passionate about helping clients that feel stuck (anxiety, depression, identity issues, stress, grief & loss, anger, addictions, trauma) are experiencing life transitions and perinatal mental health (loss, trauma, infertility, abortion and postpartum).

I am a Registered Psychologist who specializes in grief, loss, and traumatic death. I work with individuals and families experiencing emotional and psychological issues prevalent in grief (death and non-death loss), trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, and concurrent life stressors. I am passionate about supporting individuals through unwanted changes and difficult life transitions. We can experience life-altering moments, and often feel defined by them; life events that are out of our control, fear-inducing and that threaten our sense of safety. Together, we can work towards restoring safety, control, and normalcy in your life.

I am a Masters level Social Worker with over 25 years experience and a graduate from Dr. Alan Wolfelt’s Center for Loss and Life Transition. My passion is to companion those who are coping with loss, not only associated with a death and Chronic Illness. Our work together will consist of a mindful approach that validates and normalizes your journey and story.

At times we all struggle with anxiety, depression, and grief. If the struggles you are carrying are becoming heavier then you can bear, I can support you in finding a way to lessen this burden.

I believe it is important to be heard and respected, especially when one is actively making changes in their life. I have over 30 years experience working in the mental heath sector in Calgary, with the past 16 years spent at Alberta Health Services as a Mental Health Clinician working with adults. I provide a holistic, client-centered approach, and use a variety of therapeutic modalities. I am particularly interested in helping people recover from trauma, grief and loss, using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). It is a non-invasive, evidence-based psychotherapy providing relief from distressing or traumatic images or memories.
