Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something that’s important to you. You may feel a variety of emotions, like sadness or loneliness. Death of a loved one, a relationship ended, or job lost.
Everyone grieves differently. If you understand your emotions, and seek support, you can heal.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
I specialize in guiding people through the profound pain of loss and grief, drawing from my own experiences of losing my mother to cancer, friends to addiction, and romantic relationships. My approach is about creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly share the ache of missing someone, cry unapologetically, and honour the love and memories you hold. We explore the spiritual and soulful aspects of grief-finding meaning in the loss, understanding its place in God's plan, and recognizing the gifts left behind, like the impact a loved one made, no matter how brief their time. By releasing somatic pain stored in the body and embracing the natural, sentimental process of grieving, we align with your soul's journey, discerning karmic patterns and divine purpose to lighten your heart and restore vitality. Together, we make sense of the hurt, holding space for both the spiritual and emotional, so you can find peace and meaning in your unique experience of loss.

Grief
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Grief is not limited to death alone. People may grieve relationships, marriages, communities, identities, belief systems, health, safety, or hoped-for futures. Experiences such as divorce, trauma, loss of faith community, emotionally harmful relationships, illness, or major life transitions can create profound feelings of sadness, disorientation, loneliness, and emotional overwhelm.
I provide grief counselling and trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults navigating bereavement, relational loss, complicated grief, and significant life changes. Therapy offers a supportive space to process loss, make meaning of painful experiences, understand emotional responses to grief and trauma, and gradually reconnect with oneself and with life in a sustainable and compassionate way.

Caroline Boutefeu
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Healing from grief and loss is a journey that's both deeply personal and universally human. It involves navigating through a sea of emotions, from sadness and anger to acceptance and, eventually, peace. It's important to remember that there's no right or wrong way to grieve, and the process isn't linear. Your feelings are a natural part of the process of grieving. In therapy, we can explore any existential concerns find new meaning and direction in the midst of loss. Additionally we can work towards finding tools that you need to cope, heal, and ultimately integrate the experience of loss into your life. You are not alone in this and I'm here to support you whenever you're ready.

David Rockman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW RSW BA psych hon
Embracing the journey grief can be a profound and transformative experience. As a specialist in treating people with loss and grief, I work with individualist navigate the complexities of their emotions and find healing through Narrative Therapy and an Internal Family Systems approach. Grief is a powerful force that has a life of its own, often reflecting the depth of love we hold for what we have lost. By engaging in an internal dialogue with our grief, we can begin to unravel its meaning and use it as a source of wisdom and growth. Through this process, we can nourish ourselves with the lessons grief has to offer and move towards a state of peace and acceptance. Remember, it is okay to seek support and guidance during times of loss. You are not alone on this journey.

Mollie Pfendt

· Welcoming Ontario-based Clients for Online Work ·
I offer a gentle, compassionate space where you can slow down and be with your grief in your own way and at your own pace.
From a Gestalt perspective, our work will center on your present-moment experience—bringing awareness to the thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations that arise as you move through loss. Grief is not something to fix or move past, but something to be met, felt, and honored. Together, we’ll make space for the many layers of your experience, including the complexities, contradictions, and unfinished feelings that often accompany grief.
If my approach resonates, I'd love for you to visit my website (molliepfendt.ca) to learn more or reach out to schedule a consultation call.

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.

Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Grief and loss have such wide reaching and long lasting effects on all of us. We can be left wondering why we didn't experess our feelings in the ways we were told to or expected to; wondering why the pain has lasted as long as it has; or we may have complicated thoughts and feelings towards those we've lost that make this grief complicated, or perhaps make it feel invisible. How ever you grief is ok - and together we can build an understanding of what grief work looks like for you, and how you can take the experiences you've had and the loved ones you've lost forward in a way that is meaningful to you. Death is not the only form of loss - loss of home, family support, of experiences and relationships we thought could continue are all painful losses that we can explore together.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
