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.

When Life Changes in Ways You Never Imagined
A warm, steady place to feel supported through grief and loss, caregiving, and life transitions.
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?
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.
Meet Jessica
Jessica Landry, M.Ed., RP
Hi! I’m Jessica Landry, a Registered Psychotherapist and the founder of The Golden Canopy.
My work focuses on grief and loss, caregiving, and the life transitions that can leave us wondering who we are now.
My own experience with grief has shaped how I approach this work. I don’t believe in rushing people toward closure or trying to make every loss feel okay.
I’m calm and down to earth, and I look forward to meeting you. I’m grateful that our paths have crossed.
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.
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.
