What we help with
Grief & Loss therapy
Making space for what — and who — you've lost.
Grief isn't only about death. It follows any significant loss — a relationship, a role, a future you'd imagined, your health, your sense of home. Grief therapy offers a space where your loss is honoured and you don't have to carry it alone or on anyone else's timeline. There's no right way to grieve, and no expiry date on support.
Not sure who to bring this to? Tell us a little about what you're carrying, and we'll walk you through your options and match you with the right therapist.

What it can look like
- Waves of sadness, anger, guilt, or numbness
- Feeling stuck, or like you 'should' be over it
- Trouble sleeping, concentrating, or functioning
- Loss that reopens older wounds
- Loneliness in your grief, even around others
How therapy helps
We follow your grief rather than trying to fix it — making room for the full range of what you feel, honouring what was lost, and gently supporting you toward carrying it in a way that lets life move forward too.

Good to know
Grief & Loss, in brief.
It's been a long time — is it too late for grief therapy?
It's never too late. Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and support can help whether the loss was last month or years ago.
Before you book
The practical part.
- What does it cost?
- Sessions start at $160 for 60 minutes, and each therapist's own rate is on their card above. The first 15-minute consultation is free.
- Is it covered by insurance?
- Not by OHIP — the practice is private. Many workplace benefit plans do cover some or all of the cost of seeing a Registered Social Worker or Registered Psychotherapist, though coverage varies, so it is worth a quick check with your insurer. We provide receipts for reimbursement. More on fees and insurance.
- What happens in the free consultation?
- Fifteen minutes, by phone or video, with no obligation. You can ask questions, say as much or as little as you want about what you are carrying, and get a feel for whether this is someone you could talk to. If it is not the right fit, we will say so and help you find one.
- How many sessions will I need?
- There is no set number. Many people meet weekly at the start, because that is what builds trust and momentum, and settle into a slower rhythm later. We revisit how it is going together, and you decide how long it goes on.
- How do I choose between the therapists?
- Start with the reasons listed under each name above — they say what each person has trained in and who they tend to work with. If that does not settle it, book the free consultation with whoever you are drawn to, or ask us and we will suggest someone.
No cost, no obligation, and no need to know what to say yet.
