Therapy Services
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I can offer therapy to residents of Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland, and the territories. Psychotherapy is covered by many health insurance providers.
I provide therapy virtually. In-person session are available, by request, at the Toronto Wellness Collective at 489 College Street, Suite 201, Toronto, Ontario.
Rates are $175/session. If you are interested in working with me as your therapist, I always offer a free consultation in advance of working together. Contact me at aly@alybird.com and we’ll schedule a time to speak.
I’m passionate about providing trauma-informed care at every stage of the therapeutic relationship. What I believe that means is helping you be informed of each step in the therapeutic process from consultation to booking sessions. Learn about what you can expect in a therapy consultation here.

I work as part of a large team of grief therapists at AWC Grief Support (formerly Andrea Warnick Consulting). If you find that we are not a good match to work together, I can refer you to another team member who would be better able to meet your needs.
Free Author Q&A about being a Grief Ally
I am always willing to do virtual Q&A sessions with anyone who wants to have a discussion about what I teach in Grief Ally: Helping People You Love Cope with Death, Loss, and Grief. These sessions are 1 hour and a include a brief introduction about my mission, work and overview of Grief Allyship. Then a discussion is facilitated amongst the group.
Contact me to book a free Q&A session.
Speaking/Presentations
I am available as a keynote speaker on how to create a culture of care for the bereaved. Rates are dependent on the audience size and whether the presentation is delivered virtually or in-person.
Discounts are available for charities and not-for-profit organizations. Virtual talks for public libraries are always free.
“This was a heart-centred discussion that was raw and authentic. I was overwhelmed by the openness with which people shared. I feel like crying but in a good way”
“Aly was very responsive to requests and communication from us during our planning stages. She worked with us to create a presentation that matched the theme and objectives of our conference. The content of her presentation was relevant, easy to apply to our own lives and practice, and inspired all who were in attendance to do better when working with someone who is grieving. Her presentation skills are top notch – the audience was engaged and alternated between tears and laughter the whole time. Overall, a very positive experience for those planning and attending the conference.”
“In the words of one of the attendees, “Aly is so down to earth and personable!” She is an exceptional speaker and author (which we can say now that we’ve read her book “Grief Ally”). We were able to add a few copies of it to our community-based hospice’s lending library. Everyone in attendance at her talk took home something they learned! Our volunteers were grateful for the opportunity to have the discussion on “Amplifying Your Impact in Grief Support” and feel we are better equipped to support those when it comes to grief literacy.

- Giving you a safe space to express the feelings and sensations that come with grief
- Creating your own strategy for taking care of yourself as you and your network grieve
- Navigating the disbelief that can occur when someone dies suddenly
- Guiding you when you’re at a loss for what to do after someone important in your life dies
- How to show up for someone you care about after they have experienced a life changing loss.
