Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Grief is love with nowhere to go, and there's no timeline, no right way, no "getting over it." Whether your loss is recent or years old, a person, a relationship, a health, or a future you'd imagined, the weight of it deserves space. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental place to feel what you feel without being rushed or fixed, to make sense of a world that's changed, and to slowly carry your loss differently. The goal isn't to move on, it's to move forward with your grief, staying connected to what mattered while rebuilding a life that can hold both sorrow and joy. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more supported, and more able to live fully again.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel heavy, lost, or overwhelmed by the absence of someone or something important in your life? Grief can show up in many ways—sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or even confusion. It’s common to feel pressure to “move on” or hide your pain. You may find yourself carrying feelings that feel too big or too complicated to process alone.
These reactions are not a sign of weakness—they are natural responses to loss. What matters is how you honour and work with them rather than push them away. Together, we can explore your grief, hold space for what you’re feeling, and support you in finding ways to carry loss while reconnecting with life—so you can feel a bit lighter, more grounded, and more at peace over time. You grieve for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Jonathan Snowball, Anxiety and Depression Psychotherapist in Ontario
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, MDiv
At some point in life, most people will experience loss and the grief that comes with it. Along with the grief will be feelings, varying from deep sadness to anger. Adapting to loss is different for each person and often depends on one’s relationship to what was lost.

Grief
North Star Therapy-- Cleo Haber
Registered Social Worker, BSW, MSW, RSW
Grief can be experienced due to a multitude of losses. We often experience grief after the death of a loved one. Other times we have feelings of grief that surface due to ambiguous losses—such as the loss of a stage of life, the loss of not having children; or grief that emerges after a job loss or a move to a new city. Grief is not a problem to be fixed, it is a natural process of life that needs to be experienced—often in community or with a caring other. Therapy can be a safe place to bear witness to these losses and the grief that accompanies them, while honouring your memories, wishes and also creating meaning for the future.

Samantha Williams-Lauder
Registered Social Worker, MSW,RSW
Grief can follow the loss of a loved one, relationship, role, identity, home, future, or sense of safety. It can feel heavy, confusing, isolating, or unpredictable. Therapy offers space to honour what has been lost, process difficult emotions, and find ways to carry grief while continuing to live and connect.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Grief doesn’t follow a timeline and it doesn’t always look like sadness. It can show up as numbness, irritability, anxiety, or feeling “stuck.” In therapy, you’ll have space to process your loss in a way that honours what mattered, while also helping you stay connected to life and meaning as you move forward.

Grief
Sara Sherstobitoff
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP
Grief and loss are weaved into our lives in an intimate way. Grief is natural, normal, unique and universal. Grief touches us all at one point or another and is an inevitable part of being human. The experience of grief may be associated with a range of emotions, thoughts and behaviours. It’s important to remember that the journey of grief is not linear and there is no right way to feel. Therapy is a safe space where you can explore your grief. We will move at a pace that feels comfortable to you and I will check in to ensure that you feel safe and supported. Please contact me to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Monika Georgieva
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Over the course of our lives, we experience various losses and we grieve in many different ways. It can be difficult to know how to begin working through grief and you do not have to be alone in this process. I believe that grieving is a journey and I welcome the opportunity to support you in your path to healing. Within therapy, we can explore some of the emotions you are experiencing, unpack expectations about what grieving looks like, discuss possibilities for connection with what’s most important within your life, and consider possible ways to honour the loss(es) you have experienced. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Grief and loss can feel overwhelming, unpredictable, and deeply painful. Having worked closely with individuals navigating loss, I understand how complex and personal the grieving process can be.
In therapy, we work together at your pace to process your experience, make sense of your emotions, and develop ways of coping that feel manageable and supportive. Over time, the goal is to help you feel more grounded and gradually reconnect with a sense of meaning and balance.

Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
I have a strong personal and professional interest in the pursuit of inner peace despite overwhelming despair. I've worked with individuals overcoming loss of others, self, and things in-between. I encourage clients to engage, disclose, emote, reflect, and forgive; remembering the lost, speaking with them, saying goodbye, or whatever else their particular healing process requires.

Grief
Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
When working with grief, I focus on creating space for the emotions that often feel difficult to face. It’s very common for people to try to push grief aside or stay busy in order to avoid the pain that comes with loss. While that can help in the short term, healing often begins when we allow ourselves to gradually experience and work through those emotions rather than avoiding them. Working through our grief is a long term process that will change as we learn to integrate our past and our loss with the many ways we an begin to move forward.

Laird Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Navigating grief and loss involves a series of stages that can be challenging to go through on your own. It's understandable that grief can feel overwhelming and even frightening at times, making it difficult to manage intense emotions. While the grieving process cannot be hurried, there are helpful ways to support yourself during this period.
One such effective approach is to connect with a compassionate individual in a secure and accepting environment. By working together, we can explore the complex feelings you're experiencing and process difficult emotions in a way that feels manageable for you.
Please feel free to reach out if you feel this kind of support would be beneficial for you right now.

I provide compassionate support to individuals coping with the emotional impact of bereavement, life transitions, and significant losses. Grief is a deeply personal and often complex process that can affect every aspect of a person's life. In a safe and empathetic space, I help clients process their pain, make sense of their emotions, and find ways to honour their loss while gradually moving toward healing. My approach is gentle, patient, and tailored to each individual's unique experience, recognizing that there is no "right" way to grieve.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
