Honouring Your Journey Through Loss

Grief is not a problem to be solved, but a process to be witnessed. We provide a safe, compassionate space to navigate the complexities of loss and find a path toward healing.

Compassionate Grief Support in Brockville, ON

Loss comes in many forms—the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the loss of health, or a significant life transition. At St. Lawrence Psychotherapy & Wellness, we provide grief and loss counselling in Brockville that recognizes the deeply personal nature of bereavement. There is no "right" way to grieve, and we are here to support you at your own pace.

Our therapists understand the profound impact that loss can have on your emotional, physical, and social well-being. We combine evidence-based approaches with deep clinical empathy to help you process your grief and integrate your loss into your life moving forward.

Grief & Loss FAQs

Answering common questions about the grieving process and therapy.

Q. How do I know if my grief is 'normal'?

Grief is highly individual and doesn't follow a linear path. While there is no 'normal' timeline, if you feel consistently stuck, unable to function in your daily life, or overwhelmed by intense guilt or hopelessness, professional support can help you move through the process.

Q. Can therapy help replace what I've lost?

Counselling cannot replace your loss, but it can help you find ways to carry it more manageable. We focus on honouring your relationship with what was lost while helping you find a path forward that feels meaningful.

Q. What is disenfranchised grief?

Disenfranchised grief is loss that isn't always recognized or validated by society (such as the loss of a pet, a non-traditional relationship, or a health diagnosis). We provide a space where all types of loss are treated with the same respect and clinical care.
