Grief Therapists in Manitoba

I am a firm believer in client-centered therapy, trusting that the client is the expert on their own life and that my role is to help clients meet their goals through curiosity and the creation of a safe space. I work with my clients to try to understand the motivations behind their thoughts, feelings, and actions and model a posture of empathy and compassion towards these parts of themselves. I have worked with families, couples, and youth, as well as clients with experiences of anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, PTSD, ADHD, and BPD.

I am Lorise Cablik, a Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling and Registered Professional Counsellor with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association. You might also think of me as a motivator, problem solver, confidante, advocate (your very own cheer leader), recovery coach, self care coach or one of your healing team members.

One of the hardest things to say/admit is 'I/we need help'. It takes courage, openness, trust and self-awareness, which can be difficult to foster on our own. Whether you need tools for symptom management (anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing behaviours, trauma responses, addictions, relational distress) or you want to deep dive into past experiences for better understanding and meaning, we can work towards developing a treatment plan that helps you create the life you want going forward. Develop the "life hacks" you need to bounce back from challenges with grace and grit!

I deeply believe in the power of balancing connection, change and radical acceptance. My hope is to help you learn how to meet the inevitability painful parts of life with humour, grace, and creativity rather than the many (and very human) ways in which we avoid difficult moments in order to live wholeheartedly with purpose and self compassion. I help my clients navigate challenges with the goal of fully experiencing the richness of their lives without fear of feeling overwhelmed by intense emotion.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, exhausted, out of balance or unmotivated to make change? Are you being stretched and pulled in all directions by life's demands? Maybe you find yourself in a place of fear and uncertainty, experiencing the pain of loss, struggling with the unknown territory of grief? Does life feel messy and the path forward feel unclear? Come co-create with me a personalized wellness plan to find balance and inner calm as well as new coping skills and practices to cultivate more resilience. With 33years experience, I utilize a holistic approach and offer a compassionate listening presence to adults of all ages.

As a therapist, my focus is to create an environment for you to accomplish your goals. This could include feeling better, improving your relationships, enhancing your parenting skills, coping with grief and loss, overcoming past trauma, or addressing obstacles that are adversely affecting your mental health. I have over 30 years experience working with children and adults as a social worker in schools, mental health, and child welfare settings. With compassion and caring, I use a variety of tools adapted to what is right for you and your situation.
