Loss or Grief
Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Nearly all clients have something to grieve, whether it's the end of a relationship or the end of a life, human or non-human. Loss may relate to disability/illness, life transitions, displacement, intergenerational trauma, colonial violence, or climate disaster. When you want to go there, I'm ready to be in it with you. A relational therapy approach is especially attuned to the ways loss can shift our connections to self and others. We'll explore what grief looks like for you so we can honour your losses as well as integrate what you want to carry forward in your grief.

Loss or Grief
Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Grief is often a complex response to what is missing from our lives—whether that is the loss of a loved one or the realization that we never received the care, safety, or parenting we deserved. Drawing on over 15 years of experience, I help you navigate the heavy, often unacknowledged pain of a 'relationship that never was'; for example, not having the relationship with parents you needed or wanted.
Using a Parts Work lens, we create a compassionate space to honor the parts of you that are still carrying the sadness and anger of those unmet needs. We don't just focus on 'moving on'; we focus on giving those younger parts of you the acknowledgment they never received. By witnessing and healing these old wounds, we work to transform your grief into a grounded sense of self-compassion and internal peace.

Loss or Grief
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Experiencing loss—whether from the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or significant life changes—can be deeply painful and disorienting. Grief can show up in many ways: sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or a sense of emptiness, and it often comes in waves that feel unpredictable.
In therapy, I provide a compassionate space to honor your feelings, process your loss, and navigate the complex emotions that accompany grief. Together, we focus on finding ways to cope, reconnect with life, and gradually rebuild a sense of meaning and hope.

Loss or 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.

Loss or Grief
Sarah Kaleem
Counsellor/Therapist, OT Reg. (Ont.), Psychotherapist
The loss of a loved one is the most painful experience we are forced to endure as humans. You may be feeling as though the death of your loved one has changed your life completely and that you are having a difficult time adjusting. Your loss may be making it difficult for you to find someone to turn to. You may be a good fit for Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), which explores how the loss of a loved one can lead to depression and isolation. It may cause you to have difficulties with other relationships as well, such as your spouse. IPT will help you process your loss and identify how you may be able to fill the gap that you may be feeling with respect to your relationships and supports. You may also be a good fit for different type of treatment - call to inquire.

Together, we’ll work toward finding meaning, comfort, and moments of peace while carrying your loss with greater compassion for yourself.

Dr. Evelyn McMullen

Across the lifespan we all experience many smaller losses (e.g., leaving home; moving cities; choosing between career choices) and at times painful losses of people we love very much. Attending to your deep pain can help it ease.

Loss or Grief
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.

Loss or Grief
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Grief, loss, and bereavement, whether it is the passing of a loved one, the end of a career, or the falling apart of a relationship are all similar: we are losing or have lost an important part of our lives. Understanding the emotions, feelings, and behaviours we have when we experience grief and bereavement is part of helping us accept what has occurred, why we feel the way that we are feeling, and what is next for us. In working with clients on grief, loss, and bereavement it is important to understand that the way we process these experiences is unique to each person, and the pillar of respect is paramount.

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.
