There are things that change the shape of your life.

Sometimes you lose someone you love. Sometimes the loss is a relationship, your health, a role, a future you expected, or a sense of who you were.

Caregiving and major change can also leave little room to process what you are carrying or to find your place in what comes next.

Areas of Focus

What brings you here?

Grief & Bereavement

When someone you love dies, the world you knew can suddenly feel unfamiliar. You do not have to grieve a certain way or be at a certain place in the process before reaching out for support.

Caregiving & Caregiver Grief

Caring for someone you love can hold love, responsibility, exhaustion, worry, uncertainty, and grief all at once. I offer space for what you are carrying when so much of your energy has gone toward caring for someone else.

Loss & Life Transitions

Not every loss is a death. Relationships, careers, health, roles, dreams, and futures that change can all leave you grieving what you expected life to be.

Other Profound Losses

Some losses are difficult to explain or may not be recognized by the people around you. You do not need to prove that your loss is significant enough to deserve support.

Living alongside grief

You don’t have to get over it to begin living with it.

Grief does not follow a prescribed timeline. Therapy can make room for what has been lost while helping you find your footing in the life that is here now.

Two things can be true at the same time.

  • There can be room for grief and hope.
  • You can feel relief and sadness at the same time.
  • You can care for others and still need care yourself.
  • You can love the life you have while grieving the life you expected.

A place to pause

A place where you don’t have to perform.

You can arrive tired, uncertain, angry, relieved, sad, or not entirely sure what you feel. You do not need the right words or need to hold everything together here.

We can make room for what has been lost and what everyday life is asking of you now — relationships, identity, caregiving, boundaries, needs, and the future you expected — without telling you how you should feel or where you should be by now.

Meet Jessica

Jessica Landry, M.Ed., RP

I’m the founder of The Golden Canopy, and my work focuses on grief and loss, caregiving, and the life transitions that can leave us wondering who we are now.

I hold a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Ottawa. My approach is calm, down to earth, and grounded in each person’s lived experience.

I do not believe in rushing people toward closure. I value steadiness, curiosity, and making room for complicated feelings without expecting them to become something simpler.

The meaning behind the name

Why The Golden Canopy?

Warm. Safe. Steady.

A canopy offers shelter — a place to pause and feel a little more held while the storm is still happening. That is what I hope therapy here can offer: room for what you are carrying, without pressure to have everything figured out.

You don’t have to figure everything out while you’re standing in the storm.

Let’s start with a conversation.

You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Complete this short form to request a free 15-minute consultation, and I’ll follow up so you can tell me a little about what is bringing you to therapy, ask questions, and see whether working together feels like the right fit.

Use digits and standard phone punctuation such as +, spaces, parentheses, periods, or hyphens.

You can briefly share what is bringing you to therapy and let me know whether you would prefer that I contact you by phone or email.

Please avoid including highly sensitive medical or personal information in this initial form.

Submitting this form does not create a therapist-client relationship with me. I can discuss my current availability and whether my services may be a good fit with you during our initial contact.
