Grief
Samantha Mirarchi | Wild Sage Therapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief can show up in so many ways, like sadness, numbness, anger, guilt, or even moments of relief, and there’s no right way to move through it. Whether you've lost a loved one, a relationship, a sense of identity, or a version of life you imagined, grief has a way of touching every part of us.
We offer a space where you don’t have to explain or rush your healing. In therapy, we’ll honor your loss while helping you process the pain, make sense of what you're feeling, and find ways to carry it with compassion rather than overwhelm. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and you don’t have to walk through it alone.
Whatever you’re grieving, your experience is valid. We're here to support you in making space for both the sorrow and the slow steps toward healing.

Grief
Sanofer Ansari
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, MACP
Approach: Grief-informed, emotion-focused and trauma-informed therapy.
I provide space for clients to experience grief without judgment or pressure to “move on.” We explore sadness, anger, guilt, changes in identity, memories, and the meaning of the loss while gradually supporting adaptation to life after loss.

Everyone grieves the loss of a loved one differently; from that process you’ll experience the different stages of grief and learn how to move on. You will be able to understand your struggles, feelings and behaviors from a non-judgmental therapeutic environment. I will be able to help you every step of the way to guide you through the process and become stronger.

Grief
Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
Being alive means experiencing inevitable loss, which is normally followed by grief and recovery. The loss can be the loss of a person, image, ideal, or even a hope. However, the grief and recovery can sometimes be complicated. Every person follows a unique pattern of grief processing. The key for a healthy recovery lies in understanding this pattern in a supported environment. The therapy is about helping the client to get to this insight. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Melissa Letourneau
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy. Therapy provides a safe space to explore your grief. I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Markham is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities in North America, with Chinese residents making up the largest share of the population and a significant South Asian minority, creating a therapy community with unusually strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Punjabi-speaking practitioners. The city is a major technology hub — home to Canadian headquarters for IBM, AMD, and dozens of other multinationals — generating consistent demand for therapists who work with high-performance workplace stress, burnout, and the particular identity pressures of first-generation professionals navigating career expectations between cultures. Markham Stouffville Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while many residents also access care through the broader Toronto metro therapy ecosystem. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains an important context for therapists, who often find themselves helping clients normalize therapy alongside the clinical work.
