Everyone around you has gone back to normal. You haven't — and you shouldn't have to pretend otherwise. Grief counselling is a place where the loss can stay real.
Grief counselling doesn't try to fix grief, because grief isn't a malfunction — it's love with nowhere to go. What a registered psychotherapist offers is steady company through it: room to speak the loss fully, help with the feelings that blindside people (guilt, anger, even relief), and support rebuilding routines and identity around the absence. That applies to bereavement, but equally to divorce, lost health, miscarriage, or the future you had planned.
At Counselling Mississauga — by McDowall Integrative Psychology & Healthcare — every counsellor is a registered psychotherapist or supervised clinician, and every plan starts with a free consultation so you know the fit, the approach and the cost before committing to anything.
Counselling isn't only for emergencies — most of our clients simply reached a point where handling it alone stopped working. Recognize yourself below? The free consultation costs nothing but twenty minutes.
Different problems — and different people — call for different methods. Every approach we use is research-backed, and your counsellor tailors the mix to you rather than forcing you into a formula.
Follows your grief rather than a schedule — space to speak the loss fully, with support for the practical and emotional adjustments.
Gently rebuilds a sense of identity and future around the loss, without pressure to 'move on' from the person or thing you lost.
When grief stays disabling past a year, structured approaches specifically for complicated grief have strong evidence.
Tell us what's going on and what you're hoping for. No commitment, no cost.
We match you with a registered psychotherapist who fits your needs and style.
Start weekly or bi-weekly sessions, in person in Mississauga or by secure video.
There's no curriculum — sessions follow whatever the week brought. Over time the work naturally shifts from surviving the waves to carrying the loss differently, and if grief stays as raw as day one for a year or more, your therapist can bring in structured approaches for prolonged grief.
Master's-level clinicians under close clinical supervision — quality care at the most accessible rate.
The most popular choice for grief counselling — covered by most extended health plans.
Senior clinicians for complex or specialized work. Receipts provided for insurance.
If your benefits plan lists "registered psychotherapist" (most Ontario extended health plans do), your sessions are likely reimbursable — we provide receipts for every visit. Note that OHIP doesn't cover psychotherapy. Your free consultation locks in the exact cost before anything starts.
Comfortable, private offices with evening and weekend availability. In-person care is also available at our Toronto, Brampton and Mississauga locations.
Secure, privacy-compliant video sessions with the same registered psychotherapists. Ideal for busy schedules, parents, and anyone outside Mississauga.
We work with clients from across Mississauga and Peel Region — families in Erin Mills and Meadowvale, professionals commuting from the Square One corridor, students, and newcomers building a life in one of Canada's fastest-growing cities. Evening and weekend availability makes appointments workable around GO Transit and highway commutes, and secure video sessions cover the days when Hurontario traffic makes in-person impossible.
No referral, no waitlist. Book a free consultation, or let us match you with the right counsellor in Mississauga.
