Grief Therapy in Ottawa

Understanding Grief

Grief is a natural response to loss, but it can feel overwhelming and unpredictable. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, are navigating complicated family changes, or facing other life-altering losses, grief can show up as sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, or even physical exhaustion. There is no “right” way to grieve, and no timeline you’re expected to follow.

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide compassionate support to individuals in Ottawa who are navigating grief in all its forms.

How Therapy Can Help with Grief

Grief therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to process your loss and adjust to life after it. Our therapists use approaches such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), and mindfulness to help you:

  • Understand and normalize your grief responses

  • Explore emotions such as sadness, guilt, or anger

  • Find healthy ways to cope with triggers and anniversaries

  • Rebuild routines and a sense of stability

  • Strengthen your support system and communication with loved ones

  • Move forward at your own pace, carrying memories with you

Everyday Supports for Grieving

Outside of therapy, small practices can help you cope day to day:

  • Allow space: Give yourself permission to feel without judgment.

  • Rituals: Light a candle, visit a meaningful place, or create a personal tradition.

  • Connection: Share your feelings with trusted friends or family.

  • Self-care: Rest, hydrate, and nourish your body even when it feels hard.

  • Creative outlets: Journaling, art, or music can help express feelings that words cannot.
