Grief Therapists in Montréal, QC

Sally Virginia Cooke
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, ATR
Montréal, QC H4A
For the last 27 years I have shared my time as a psychotherapist and art therapist between the Division of Adolescent Medicine at the Montreal Children’s Hospital and private practice at the Queen Elizabeth Health Centre. In addition, since 2005 I have taught in Concordia University's Masters in Art Therapy. I offer a therapeutic place for adults, children and teenagers to work individually. I work with a focus on both current maladaptive patterns, origins of current emotions, behaviours and thoughts, and a strong emphasis on one's sense of self, while always finding the strengths and resilience that is in each person.

These include relationship issues, emotional abuse, women's issues, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, life transitions, childhood trauma and grief.
I enjoy helping women to 'find their voice' in relationships, and helping men to find more intimacy and connection, by healing from dysfunctional patterns and learning new ways to communicate and interact. These changes can last a lifetime, and form the foundation for more fulfilling, satisfying relationships.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. You may be struggling in your relationship, preparing for marriage, healing from a painful experience, or navigating a major life transition that has left you feeling uncertain or overwhelmed.

I work with adults experiencing various mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, life transitions, and interpersonal issues.
My approach is warm, supportive, and transparent; helping clients discover both their resilience and their potential. I know that therapy can involve difficult conversations and be an emotionally-intense experience so I also use humour (thoughtfully!) to foster connection, perspective, and moments of lightness.

I have over 14 years experiences working with individuals from all walks of life who've struggled with disability, addiction, abuse, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, and other life altering experiences.
We’ll work together to create a supportive space where you can talk through your experiences and build new skills. I use a strengths-based, solution-focused approach, drawing from Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to help you navigate life’s challenges. Along the way, you can learn to open up, stay grounded in the present, and focus on what matters most so your values can guide the way forward. You already have your own strengths, coping tools, and insight, even if they don’t feel obvious right now. Together, we can uncover those strengths and build on them so you can move forward with more confidence.

I work with mood disorders, grief, burnout, perfectionism, anger management, relational struggles, life transitions and building self-confidence.
Therapy isn’t about being handed a list of coping strategies and then sent on your way—it’s about exploring what’s beneath your feelings, challenging the beliefs that no longer serve you and facing uncomfortable truths. We’ll unpack the tough stuff—unresolved pain from past experiences, habits that leave you feeling stuck, and behaviours that hinder your progress—and uncover what’s standing between you and your goals.
