GRIEF & TRAUMA THERAPY IN ONTARIO
At Therapy Bee, we provide compassionate, person-centred psychotherapy for adults in Ontario. Therapy Bee supports clients navigating grief and loss, mental health challenges, neurodivergent experiences, relational difficulties, experiences of emotionally unsafe or abusive relationships, burnout, and other life transitions.
We offer a safe, heart-centred virtual space across Ontario where clients can explore their experiences, reflect, and build personal coping capacity. Therapy is collaborative and individualized, paced to meet each client’s needs, and does not guarantee specific outcomes.
Take a gentle first step toward exploring support that feels right for you. Therapy Bee approaches grief and trauma work holistically, recognizing the interconnectedness of emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual experiences.

About the Symbol of the Bee
​
Therapy Bee was founded on the belief that transformation is possible. Bees symbolize wisdom, resilience, and interconnectedness. Though their wings seem too small to lift their bodies, they soar — demonstrating that persistence and adaptability can achieve the seemingly impossible. Similarly, Therapy Bee works in partnership with clients, respecting the whole person: mind, body, relationships, and belief systems.

Complicated Grief

While grief and trauma are natural responses to challenging or painful life experiences, they can ripple across emotions, relationships, and daily life, sometimes feeling overwhelming or difficult to navigate alone. Therapy Bee provides a compassionate, safe space to explore these experiences at your own pace, whether you are processing loss, past trauma, or complex emotional challenges.
If you’d like to learn more about our approach to grief, trauma, and mental health, you can explore our services or schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss your unique needs.

A Message from our Founder
Hello
My own journey through grief and loss has shown me how complex, messy, and sometimes isolating these experiences can be. I understand how it feels when life feels heavy, routines are disrupted, and emotions seem overwhelming.
​
At Therapy Bee, I strive to create a compassionate, safe space where you can explore your emotions without fear of judgment. Here, your story is heard, validated, and honoured.
​
I work with clients navigating many forms of grief — from anticipatory or ambiguous grief to sudden or complicated loss — as well as trauma and other life challenges. My role is not to fix, but to walk alongside you, helping you reflect, understand, and strengthen your coping capacities at your own pace.
​
Together, we can explore your experiences, uncover strengths, and find ways to move forward that feel meaningful and authentic to you.
​
Just as bees transform challenges into resilience and growth, this work is about discovering your own capacity for adaptation and hope, even in the face of life’s most difficult moments.
