What we offer
We offer so much more than just grief therapy. We specialize in supporting people after a death has occurred, but also before. Our focus is on providing support throughout the end of life to those who work with and experience death and dying.
Lark and Raven practices from a trauma-informed perspective and understands how trauma impacts the normal processes of grieving and mourning. We use a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, Expressive Art Therapies, Play Therapy, Existential Therapy, Somatic Therapies, Attachment-based theories, and more.
Therapy services
Our professionally licensed therapists are trained to support various populations and ages with needs in grief and end of life. We also support caregivers and professionals working in the fields of palliative and end-of-life care.
End-of-life caregivers & support workers
Caregivers and professionals working in end-of-life care are able to receive support through counselling that is compassionate and teaches healthy coping skills.
Grief & bereavement
Both grief therapy and counselling for all ages from experienced and trained professionals. We offer support to help witness and move through the grief.
Chronic illness and palliative care
Living with chronic illness or being diagnosed with cancer can be disruptive, stressful, and increase anxiety. We help support people through these experiences through therapy and counselling services.
