Grief Therapy in Vaughan

Grief can feel especially difficult to manage while continuing to meet the responsibilities of work, family life, and daily routines.

In Vaughan, many people balance professional demands, commuting schedules, and caregiving roles while quietly coping with the emotional impact of loss.

Grief therapy offers a supportive space to slow down, process what has changed, and begin adjusting to life after loss. At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide grief therapy that is compassionate, evidence-based, and grounded in your lived experience rather than expectations about how grief should unfold.

We offer virtual grief therapy for clients across Vaughan and throughout Ontario, as well as in-person therapy at select locations, with a free 15-minute consultation to help you get started.

Understanding Grief

Grief is a natural response to loss, yet it rarely follows a predictable timeline. Emotional, physical, and relational changes often occur at the same time.

Grief may be connected to:

The death of a loved one
Anticipatory grief related to illness or caregiving
Relationship loss or separation
Pregnancy loss or fertility challenges
Changes in health or physical ability
Career or life transitions
Loss of identity, stability, or future expectations

Many people in Vaughan continue supporting family members and maintaining professional responsibilities while struggling internally. Therapy can provide space to acknowledge grief without needing to minimize or delay your own healing.

Common Experiences of Grief

Grief can show up in many ways, including:

Persistent sadness or emotional numbness
Feeling disconnected from others or socially withdrawn
Guilt, regret, or recurring thoughts about the past
Irritability or emotional sensitivity
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
Changes in sleep, appetite, or energy
Feeling stuck or uncertain about how to move forward

These responses are common reactions to meaningful loss.

Individual, Couples, Family, and Group Grief Therapy

Grief therapy is commonly offered through individual therapy, allowing personalized pacing and support.

Couples therapy can help partners understand differences in grieving styles and strengthen connection during loss. Family therapy supports families navigating shared grief, changing roles, or emotional strain following loss.

In some cases, group therapy may also be beneficial, offering connection with others who share similar experiences. Availability varies by location and time.

Your therapist can help determine which option feels most supportive.
