Tamara Daniszewski
Registered Social Worker, M.ED, MSW, RSW
Grief does not follow a timetable and it is not something you just get over. Therapy helps you process loss at your own pace, whether it is the death of a loved one, a relationship, a dream or a version of your life that no longer exists. You do not have to carry your pain alone.

Michelle Directo
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP, ExA
Loss and grief does not only involve the death of a loved one. It can also involve the loss of a job, transitions in your life, the loss of a role, a break up, a friendship, retirement, a move, giving up something that you cared for or a serious illness. Grief and loss come in different shapes and sizes. It is also expressed in various ways. I want to help you find ways to cope with these losses and understand the process of grieving.

Sara Tawadros
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Div in Clinical Counselling
Loss and grief are natural and normal responses to the end of a relationship or the death of a loved one. Grief is a complex and personal experience, and everyone handles it differently. It is normal to feel a range of emotions, such as sadness, anger, guilt, and loneliness, after a loss. It is also common to experience physical symptoms, such as changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue. Grief can be a difficult and challenging experience, but it is an important part of the healing process. It is important to allow yourself to feel and express your emotions, and to take care of yourself during this time. It is also important to seek support from friends, family, or a mental health professional if you need it. Grief is a normal and natural part of life, and it is possible to find ways to cope with your loss and move forward in time.

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.

Benjamin MacMillan (GreenValley Counselling Services)
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I create a safe place for people to take the time they need to mourn their losses. In our grief avoidant culture it can be challenging to find places to talk about the loss of loved ones or other losses that you have. I recognize the need to stay connected to those we have lost through cherished memories and honour people's pace in their grief journey.

Lori Schledewitz
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, RP
A loss isn't easy; it can overwhelm and upend even the most stalwart lives. While we can try and plan for it, sudden or not, the pain and anguish felt by the finality of a heartfelt loss are resounding.
Our brains are socially driven, and the need for connection is biologically wired to ensure the survival of our species. Grief is a natural, visceral response experienced due to connective loss regardless of the circumstances - death, job, relationship, injury or illness.
I understand that the pain from the loss may never go away, but together we can work to develop a more compassionate relationship for managing grief. We will explore how to respond to your pain with kindness and move towards a rich and meaningful life despite the loss, reclaiming peace and fulfillment.

Burlington is one of the most affluent cities in the Greater Toronto Area — situated between Hamilton and Oakville along the western shore of Lake Ontario — with an affluent, family-oriented population and a therapy culture shaped by the stresses of high-income suburban family life, corporate careers, and the pressure to maintain prosperity across generations. Joseph Brant Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving the Alton Village, Tansley, and Millcroft neighbourhoods. Burlington's relative homogeneity is changing as immigration diversifies the population, with growing South Asian and East Asian communities beginning to shape a broader range of therapy demand. The city's proximity to Hamilton's therapy ecosystem and the broader GTA network means specialist care is generally accessible for those willing to travel or use telehealth.
