Bereavement and Traumatic Loss – Lori Gill Psychotherapy

Bereavement and Traumatic Loss Support

Compassionate Grief & Loss Counselling for All Ages

At Lori Gill Psychotherapy ~ Holistic Wellness for Health, we provide specialized support for all forms of grief and loss—whether you are mourning a loved one, coping with a traumatic loss, or navigating other significant life changes. Our goal is to help you process your experience in a safe, structured, and compassionate environment.

We also provide specialized support for sudden loss, recognizing that early intervention can be crucial in treating shock and preventing post-traumatic stress symptoms.

What Makes Our Approach Unique?

Expertise in Grief & Trauma: All therapists are trained in trauma- and loss-specific treatment, including intensive training with Lori Gill, a leading expert in trauma-informed care. Several therapists also have additional training with Anne-Marie Lockmyer, a renowned Grief Specialist.
Safe, Nonjudgmental Support: We honor your unique healing journey and never rush or minimize your grief.
Holistic, Embodied Healing: We use evidence-based approaches to help you safely feel your feelings, process your experiences, and move toward healing—at your own pace.

Space to express your grief, pain, anger, confusion, or numbness—whatever you are feeling is welcome.
Guidance in understanding and honoring your loss, without pressure to “move on” or “replace” what was lost.
Gentle support for integrating your loss and finding meaning as you heal.

Who We Support

Children, teens, and adults experiencing the death of a loved one

You Are Not Alone

We are deeply sorry for your loss. Our team is here to bear witness, offer support, and walk alongside you as you heal.

Experiencing grief is a human, healthy, natural and healing response to the loss of a loved one. However we recognize that each individual’s healing journey is unique to them. Our goal at Lori Gill Psychotherapy ~ Holistic Wellness for Health is to help people safely feel their feelings, process their experiences in a safe, structured, embodied manner, and begin healing journey.

Anne-Marie indicates so poignantly: “we grieve deeply because we love deeply”.
