Grief Therapists in Toronto, ON

Our past informs our present day mentally, emotionally and physically, creating a template for our future. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, counselling individuals and couples, and a Teacher at the Transformational Arts College. My therapeutic approach includes working through mal-adapted experiences of Trauma and Grief including adverse childhood experiences that impact health, relationships, work and social functioning. My approach to mental health and well-being is building sensory, emotional and cognitive regulation to promote resilience and enable conscious decision-making and healthy behaviour.

I work with people who, in spite of great difficulties, have not given up on finding meaning in their lives. I help them as they struggle with isolation, depression, anxiety, grief or early trauma. Some are trying their best to manage difficult relationships. Others are wondering about their orientation or identity--gendered, sexual, ethnic. Others still are planning the next meaningful transition in their lives.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a MA in Psychology from Sao Paulo State University and a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am also pursuing a Master of Social Work at the University of Toronto. I have worked in hospitals with clients facing life-threatening illnesses, in mental health settings, and in private practice in Brazil. I provide compassionate care and a safe space for clients to express their emotions and feelings in their therapeutic journey.

Compassion and authenticity are the heart of my approach to psychodynamic therapy. In a supportive space we will not only address presenting stresses and issues but will work to uncover underlying influences and feelings you may not be immediately aware of. I work with clients of diverse backgrounds who struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions and uncertainty, and devastating loss and grief . I also support individuals who experience excessive worries, feelings of inadequacy, self-sabotage, boundary, work, or relationship issues and much more.

Hi I'm Nicole, a psychotherapist in Toronto with over 12 years counselling experience. It's an honour to wade with people into the love & fear, pain & beauty, messy & magic complicatedness of life. While healing and self discovery can feel like contending with the vastness of space, we work together to move through the stars and build constellations of relations that sustain life and meaning. My approach is deeply relational, compassionate, creative, trauma & structurally informed. Where individual experiences aren't disconnect from movements in community, or struggles through colonialism, capitalism, or cis-heteropatriarchy ...

People often come to therapy to experience an inner shift or get “unstuck”. My years of experience providing counselling and conflict mediation keeps this at the front of mind, while offering a caring space to do so. As a therapist, I focus on supporting clients experiencing general or social anxiety, as well as bereavement , grief , and difficult life transitions.

I work with clients who are struggling with grief , bereavement and/or other types of losses ( loss of health, job loss , divorce etc). I have specialized training in bereavement , grief and trauma which allows me to provide the best support possible. I provide clients with a safe, non-judgmental environment to explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviours related to the loss he/she has experienced. I will offer helpful tools and techniques to help process and cope with the tragedy or tragedies has occurred. I have experiences working with adolescents, young adults, adults and seniors.

There are moments in our lives when we are looking for a change, figuring out the next step, getting stuck and feeling that we can’t live our life fully. There are, also, moments of deep emotional pain, disappointments, struggles that come from our encounter with isolation, change, meaning, separation/attachment, death . Not always we can see clearly how to tackle life challenges and we want to have someone to check with, be heard, get ideas for the new directions. Learning to face the inevitable problems, difficulties, upsets, and crises of existence with confidence is what therapy is all about.

Whether the issues are end-of-life planning, parenting our parents, chronic illness, dementia/alzheimer's, betrayal, estrangement, job loss , miscarriage, divorce, sudden, complicated or unexpected death , aging and transitions, or empty-nesting, we experience many similar reactions to loss . Fatigue, depression, anxiety, worry, guilt, and anger are just some of the manifestations. Trouble sleeping and self medicating with food, drugs or alcohol, even suicide seems like an alternative to the pain we carry around with us. I provide culturally sensitive counselling to a diverse community.Together we can create a more meaningful life, filled with truth, joy and love.

I provide psychotherapy for trauma, PTSD, grief , sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental and emotional abuse, childhood abuse, racism/racial abuse, depression, anxiety, anger issues, behavioral issues, self esteem issues, self image issues, relationship issues, work stress, personal stress, and stress from everyday issues.

Hi, I’m Harjeet. Thank you for visiting my profile and exploring the possibility to have a conversation and connect. I’ve been working in the field of Social Work for twenty years. My approach is relational and collaborative. I’ve had the privilege to work with people from many walks of life, across a broad range of concerns and social issues, including, grief and loss , depression and anxiety, intimate partner violence, relationship concerns, and social inequities. Creating peaceful and equitable connections is very important in my practice. I use many approaches in my work, in particular from Narrative therapy.

I am a registered social worker who was brought to therapeutic work through my own process attempting to understand how to authentically connect to ourselves, our bodies and others in the midst of healing from relational trauma. With trauma and loss having been prominent aspects of my life, I am familiar with experiences of isolation, fear and shame that often act as barriers to repair. Using a trauma-informed, educational and collaborative approach, I aim to create a space for my clients to learn about what relational safety means to them.

We enter psychotherapy for a wide variety of reasons: The death or loss of a loved one, illness, job loss , divorce, addiction, etc., but all of us seek help because we are trying to find a better way to deal with the reality we are facing. My job as a psychotherapist is to help you talk about your emotions and reactions in a safe environment, figure out where these emotions and reactions are coming from, observe whether your reactions produce the desired outcomes and, discover new ways to react, if that would produce more desirable outcomes

Are you looking for support through a significant loss , making difficult career or lifestyle changes, in need of greater emotional balance, or want to develop more self-awareness and connection with your life? Life is challenging and can sometimes become overwhelming to be able to rebalance our emotional, mental or physical health on our own. With a compassionate therapist, you can be supported to be present to yourself and explore in a safe space what is happening and what is possible.

I am Shawna - a passionate and innovative therapist who believes strong mental health is rooted in resilience and connection. Having worked exclusively with young cancer patients and their families over the past decade helped me realize that emotional pain and resilience are not mutually exclusive experiences - they live together. Through the process of recognizing and experiencing our deepest pain, fear and longing we can become better versions of ourselves. My style is empathic, intuitive, and interactive, and I uncover and guide my clients to use their untapped strengths, resilience, and potential for connection in their lives.

I offer individual therapy to adults (18+) who are interested in exploring the complexities of their past in order to understand who they are today. This work is connected to understanding the relationships around us, our grief , and our identities. We will also explore behaviours that may be getting in the way of leading the life you want, for example, confusion about identity, self harm, suicidal ideation/behaviours and relationship patterns. I welcome people from various social locations, including from the queer/trans community, and offer a sex-positive, Anti-Racist and Anti-Oppressive space.

I have been practicing for over 20 years. I specialize in bereavement and loss . Individuals, of all ages and backgrounds, may experience this for many an issue- loss of a loved one, loss of a relationship, to loss of a cherished pet. Each persons experience of loss is unique. There is no right way or wrong way to grieve. There is no time limit. My goal is to help clients manage what they are experiencing. Most importantly, I am here to listen.

At times, life can be challenging. I've learned that these lived experiences are important in therapy. Whether it is a loss of a loved one, self-esteem, body image, family conflicts or care giver burnout…I’ve been there and I can help support you with that.
