Many of the people who reach out to our clinic are used to holding a great deal on their own for a long time. From the outside, they may appear to be coping, managing responsibilities, caring for others, or functioning day-to-day while internally feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in painful patterns they can’t seem to shift. We understand how difficult it can feel to finally reach out for support. Whether you're new to therapy or returning to counselling, our team works collaboratively, not just for you but with you, to help find the best fit for your particular needs.

I am trauma-informed and work from a strength’s-based perspective to help folks manage life transitions, grief, relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.
Now offering EMDR! Hi, my name is Sara; welcome to 617 Counselling. Let's talk about the elephant in the room. You have a plan for your life and suddenly, circumstances beyond your control means that plan has to change. Reaching out to others can be hard. Family and friends love you, but may not have the outside perspective you are looking for. I know what it is like to find yourself in a situation you never expected. It is scary trying to figure out how to navigate the obstacles. I work with individuals aged 16+ to help them make positive changes to live their best lives.

My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and a belief that healing is not about becoming someone new, but remembering who you are beneath the noise. I tune into what lies beneath the story. My training in energy work and spiritual sensibility allow me to notice the subtle shifts in body language, tone, even silence - creating opportunity to respond in ways that foster deep safety and attunement. My practice is neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and human-first. I know what it’s like to live in a world that often misunderstands sensitivity, intuition, or intensity and how healing it can be to finally feel seen.

Grief Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.

When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.

Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.

What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
