Grief Therapists in Brampton, ON

I am Interested in the interconnection of body mind and spirit. We are all complex beings often dealing with complex experience such as guilt, shame, fear, loss , isolation, anger, anxiety, and depression. Using a person centered approach we work together towards healing and transformation.

Helping you heal through multiple approaches customized for you within a therapeutic alliance: This means I am on your side. Special focus on crisis and trauma (and PTSD), loss and grief , chronic illness (FM and CFS) and body positivity, as well: Empowerment and recovery-focused work. I am directed in my approach by your needs: being respectful and supportive of where you're at and what makes sense for you - it's your journey. Helping you make sense of the complicated feelings you are experiencing. We'll work first with the issues causing you immediate distress while building on your vision for the future.

Life is a journey: it has a beginning; it has an end. The journey between these two points can take us on many different paths. The path we travel is uniquely our own. No other person encounters the world quite the way we do. The most important aspect of our lives is the journey within, one which is often overlooked until a time of crisis and deep, personal pain, or when one is driven by personal circumstances to become introspective and evaluate their lives.

Focussing on grief and loss , our practice works with those who have suffered difficult and sudden losses and are struggling. With more than twenty years experience providing grief counseling, we provide a welcoming, safe and confidential environment to explore challenging emotions and beliefs to help our clients find new meaning, purpose, hope and identity.

Welcome to Olive Tree Counselling and Psychotherapy! I believe the tree is a great metaphor for helping clients understand how their current difficulties are often rooted in earlier experiences. Like the olive tree, I believe people are inherently resilient and capable of thriving in spite of the challenges they may face. Reaching out for help can be a daunting experience, but I can offer a safe and empathetic space for you to gain insight into and process past hurts, explore healthier ways to cope, live a more meaningful and authentic life, and learn how to communicate your needs and boundaries with others.

I am an open, warm, caring, calm and compassionate therapist with a decade of experience helping people through psychotherapy. I am a believer of the power of psychotherapy as I have experienced it for myself and has helped me gain a deeper sense of empathy and understanding for my clients. I provide a safe space in our therapy session which creates an environment conducive to self-reflection, awareness, healing and growth.

Hi! My name is Maria-Luisa and I have a Master in Social Work by the University of Toronto. I have extensive experience providing individual, family, group and couples counselling/psychotherapy to individuals dealing with difficulties in areas such as depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, abuse, attachment, relational and communication difficulties; problematic video gaming and problematic gambling; self-confidence and self-esteem; loss and grief as well as personal and career transitions.

When we are struggling to manage life challenges, our ability to cope can become strained. Such stressors can affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in unhealthy ways. They can also show up as frustration, irritability, and/or anger. Exploring relevant past experiences, with skillful therapeutic interventions, I support individuals, couples, and families to understand what is happening for them in the present. Believing that the client is the expert in their lives, I also help people to develop care plans intended to challenge unhelpful ways of functioning in their world while restoring feelings of happiness and hopefulness.
