Psychotherapist in Hamilton, Ontario
Reconnect with who you are and what matters
Individual and couples counselling in Hamilton and across Ontario. Helping adults navigate identity, burnout, and cultural pressures so they can feel more grounded and more themselves.
When it feels hard to just be you
The weight of expectations and quietly holding things together has taken its toll. Maybe you're feeling emotionally drained and need to shift out of survival mode.
I provide both in-person psychotherapy in Hamilton and virtual therapy support across Ontario, making it easier to get the support you need in a way that works for you.
My clients often seek support because:
They feel overwhelmed and burned out
They struggle to express their emotions
They’re unsure how to set boundaries
They have relationship tension or communication issues
I’m here to help you find clarity, connection, or simply a space to breathe.

Welcome To A Place Where You Can Be Yourself.
I’m Alyssa Howard, a licensed therapist in Hamilton and the founder of Grounding Place Therapy. My work is rooted in empathy, care, and deep respect for the lived experiences of those I support, especially when they haven’t always felt fully understood in therapeutic spaces.
I support racialized adults, members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, immigrants and children of immigrants, and couples navigating identity, burnout, and relationship strain. My approach draws from Narrative Therapy, ACT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy and is grounded in warmth, collaboration, and honesty.
My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in your relationships, and more at ease in your day-to-day life.
