Grief
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.

Grief
Collaborative Care Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Grief is a deeply personal and often complex process that can encompass a wide range of emotions and experiences. At Collaborative Care Therapy, we offer a compassionate, integrative, and relational approach to grief therapy, recognizing that each person's journey through grief is unique.
In our therapy sessions, we provide a safe and empathetic environment for individuals to express and process their feelings of loss. We understand that grief can arise from various forms of loss - not just the death of a loved one, but also the loss of relationships, health, dreams, or identity. Our approach is trauma-informed, acknowledging that grief can sometimes trigger or intertwine with past traumas and emotional wounds.
Our therapists utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques to support you through your grief journey. This includes narrative therapy, which helps in reauthoring one’s life story in the wake of loss, and cognitive-behavioral therapy to address challenging thought patterns that may arise during grieving. We also incorporate mindfulness practices to help manage the intensity of emotions and foster a gentle self-awareness during this difficult time.
Our goal at Collaborative Care Therapy is to support you in navigating the grieving process in a way that honors your loss and the range of emotions you may be experiencing. We work collaboratively with you to find a path forward that respects your individual process, helping you to integrate the experience of loss into your life in a meaningful way.
Through our virtual therapy sessions, we offer the comfort and convenience of connecting with you wherever you are, providing a consistent source of support as you move through the stages of grief. With Collaborative Care Therapy, you’re not alone in your journey through grief; we are here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, understanding, and hope for healing.

Grief
ThriveWell Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW / RP
We may have been taught that when we go through a loss, we grieve for a while before picking ourselves up and "moving on". It is expected of us to move forward, but we may feel confused or angry, and maybe lost on what to do next. The reality is, grief does not follow a straight line. There may be times where the grief is strongest and comes like a large wave, and times where it is quiet. Grief is love that has no place to go, and we may find ourselves engulfed in the loss, struggling to move forward.
Yet, there is something beautiful in understanding your grief, not as a linear phase of your life. Instead, it can be a story of resilience, a story of acceptance. A story of love finding another place to stay. At Thrivewell Counselling, our practitioners understand that grief can a story of great change. Approaches such as Narrative Therapy can help to 'rewrite' the story from a place of pain, to a place of acceptance. Each of us has a story of grief being the primary character, but our therapists can work with you to remember that you are separate from the grief and that you are main character in your own story.

James "Jamie" Myslik
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Loss and grief can show up at any time in many ways, and are always unique to each individual. My approach to working with grief and loss with folks is gentle and consistent, exploring people's changing emotional landscapes, embracing self-compassion, and incorporating the many other kinds of work that can come with this process (such as working with anxiety, sadness, life transitions, and more).

Grief
Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Grief lives in the body as much as in the heart. When words feel too small, expressive arts and somatic practices create space for what you're carrying to find form and release. Through movement, sound, and creative expression, we honor your loss while gently supporting your nervous system through one of life's most challenging transitions. Grief, held within spiritual context and community, becomes a path to deeper meaning.

Amanda Stokes
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, E-RYT 500
Having experienced varying losses myself and completed trainings in Grief, Loss and Change with David Kessler, I believe I hold empathic space for those experiencing deep loss. Sometimes all we can do is honour the pain someone is going through and be there with them for the journey.

Amanda Neves Therapy + Associates
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Grief can be complex and surprising, encompassing sadness, longing, and sometimes anger. We help you navigate the full spectrum of emotions, including the pain of grieving not only what was lost but also what you never had - dreams, opportunities, or connections that never came to be. Using trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approaches alongside Attachment-Focused Therapy, AEDP, and IFS, we provide a safe space to process these layered emotions, reconnect with your inner resilience, and find meaning and self-compassion. Sessions are available in-person in Toronto and virtually across Ontario, supporting you wherever you are.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Loss or Grief can be a very lonely experience. Others in your life may not know how to support you, may avoid you, or may say unintentionally hurtful things. Healing can come with sharing your grief with others. I have worked with clients who are experiencing painful losses and need to share them with someone who is non-judgmental and compassionate. I guide my clients to look for meaning in their painful experiences.

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.
