Havenwood Psychotherapy | Virtual Therapy in Canada
Virtual Grief Therapy
At Havenwood Psychotherapy, we offer online grief therapy across Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Quebec to help you cope with loss, process grief, and receive support during difficult life transitions.
Grief can arise after the death of a loved one, relationship loss, or other significant life changes, and it can impact your emotional well-being, energy, relationships, and sense of meaning. Grief counselling helps you understand your experience, process painful emotions, and find ways to adapt to life after loss while still staying connected to what matters most to you.
When Grief Makes Everyday Life Feel Heavier Than It Should
Feeling Lost Without Them
Life can feel unfamiliar after a loss. You may be struggling to adjust to a future that looks different than you imagined.
Waves of Emotion
Grief doesn’t always follow a predictable path. Sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, and even moments of relief can come and go unexpectedly.
Trying to Keep Going
You may feel pressure to return to normal while carrying something that still hurts deeply. Everyday responsibilities can feel overwhelming when you’re grieving.

You don’t have to carry the weight of what happened alone. Connect with Amanda and take the first step toward feeling more grounded, understood, and and a life that feels more like your own.
Tina Pirvali

She specializes in trauma and relationships, attachment and codependency, and identity and cultural experiences that influence how we show up in relationships.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive. Using the Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy, Tina helps couples move beyond repeating the same patterns toward healthier communication, stronger boundaries, deeper connection, and relationships that feel secure and more fulfilling.
You don’t have to keep repeating the same patterns. Connect with Tina and take the first step toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Taylor Davis
Associate Therapist, RP (Qualifying), MACPTaylor works with teens (12+) and adults who are high-achieving, self-aware, and often harder on themselves than anyone else. She specializes in anxiety and perfectionism, identity and self-worth, and major life transitions, with a particular welcome to BIPOC and diverse cultural backgrounds navigating questions of belonging and expectations.
Her approach is warm, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive—helping you quiet the inner critic, move beyond overthinking and self-doubt, and reconnect with who you are beneath the pressure to “have it all together.”
You don’t have to keep second-guessing yourself. Connect with Taylor and take the first step toward feeling more confident, grounded, and at ease in yourself and your life.

Why Choose Havenwood for Grief Therapy?
Grief can change everything. You may be moving through the loss of someone you love, a relationship, a dream, a sense of identity, or a version of life you thought you would have. You may feel sadness, anger, numbness, guilt, relief, confusion—or all of it at once. Sometimes the hardest part is simply figuring out how to keep going when life no longer feels the same.
At Havenwood Psychotherapy, we don’t believe grief is something you need to “get over” or fix. We approach grief with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for your unique experience. There is no timeline, formula, or right way to grieve. Your relationship with what—or who—you’ve lost matters, and so does the way you choose to carry that experience forward.
Our relational and trauma-informed approach creates space for whatever your grief looks like. Together, we can make room for the pain while also exploring how to reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and the parts of life that still matter to you. We deeply value authenticity and autonomy, allowing you to decide what healing and moving forward mean for you.
With flexible virtual appointments across Canada, including evening availability, therapy can fit into your life—not the other way around.
You don’t have to navigate this loss alone. Let’s make space for your grief, honor what matters to you, and gently find your way forward—whatever that looks like for you.
