Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Relationships often fail because partners bring unmet childhood needs for validation and safety into the connection, expecting the other to fulfill them. In my work, I help clients explore these underlying patterns and take responsibility for their own emotional experiences, including past wounds and triggers. This process supports moving out of cycles of blame or victimhood and toward greater self-awareness, clarity, and more conscious ways of relating.

Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Divorce and separation can involve far more than the ending of a relationship. They often bring grief, identity disruption, fear, uncertainty, shifts in family and community dynamics, and the emotional aftermath of long-standing relational pain. For individuals leaving emotionally abusive, coercive, or controlling relationships, separation may also uncover the deeper psychological impact of surviving in environments shaped by fear, self-doubt, instability, or chronic emotional stress.
I provide trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults navigating divorce, separation, relational loss, and major life transitions. Therapy may focus on rebuilding self-trust, processing grief and betrayal, understanding trauma responses, strengthening boundaries, and reconnecting with a clearer sense of self, safety, and autonomy. I am also attentive to the cultural, spiritual, and communal contexts that can complicate separation, including experiences involving religious expectations, family pressure, loss of community, or spiritually mediated forms of control.

Ms. Ganga Daryanani
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW
A divorce can be an extremely difficult time for families, eroding wealth and taking an emotional toll on both spouses. I help couples come to a decision on whether to work on repairing the relationship or to separate. These decisions have far reaching effects on the family and finances.

Victoria Lorient-Faibish
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
I am someone who believes in marriage. I myself have been in a successful twenty-five-plus-year marriage. I believe that it is possible to have a healthy, happy and passionate marriage. Even though statistics today indicate the state of the institution of marriage is rocky, I am hopeful. I believe that very often those who end up heading down the divorce road do so because they do not have the tools to navigate the sometimes rough waters of marriage. People get bored and don’t have the emotional discipline to hang in there. Also the advent of children is a challenge to a marriage. I observe that people don’t have the tools to cope with that. People play out their family-culture dysfunction without knowing they are doing so. People have addictions and aren’t getting help. People are codependent, enabling, overworked, exhausted, impatient, irritable, blame-oriented, feeling like the victim and living from their hurt-child perspective.
In therapy we try to leave no stone unturned regarding working on a rocky relationship. But if the couple, after lots of work decide that they can no longer be together, some amazing couples work can be done to have a healthy, peaceful divorce with minimal scar tissue done to themselves and their children.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Divorce is a very difficult life event for everyone involved and no one understands all the complexities of divorce until they face it. Whether you chose to leave or were left, there will be many mixed feelings of guilt, resentment, hopelessness, shame, fear, loneliness, anger. There can be a loss of friends, family, home, finances and lifestyle. You may be experiencing resentment about moving outside your comfort zone to build a new life. I can support you through this life change.

Divorce can be challenging, but you do not need to experience these relationship changes alone.

I bring an empathic but analytical style to therapy, and I offer a safe space where you can express yourself. If this resonates with you, reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Ekta Abhay Lather
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Divorce is a deeply emotional journey that involves the legal termination of a marriage, marking a significant moment in your life. It often brings a wave of challenges—emotionally, financially, and logistically. As you navigate this difficult process, it's completely natural to experience feelings of loss, grief, and uncertainty about what lies ahead.
Every divorce is unique, influenced by various factors such as the length of your marriage, whether children are involved, and the dynamics between you and your partner. During this time, open and compassionate communication can be incredibly helpful. A willingness to cooperate, especially concerning co-parenting responsibilities and shared assets, can ease the transition for everyone involved.
Remember, you don’t have to go through this alone. Leaning on friends, family, or professional counselors can provide much-needed support, guidance, and encouragement as you adapt to the changes in your life. While this process may feel overwhelming, it’s important to recognize that divorce can also open doors for personal growth and new opportunities for happiness and fulfillment in the future. You have the strength to move forward and create a bright new chapter for yourself.

I'm Kate, a Trauma & Couples Therapist specialized in working with adults - individuals & couples - who have experienced Interpersonal Trauma.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Divorce, separations, and breakups can disrupt the nervous system (the same areas of the brain involved in withdrawal from substances are activated) and undermine your sense of identity, leaving you feeling lost, aimless, physically feeling sick, and overwhelmed by grief. I assist clients in navigating the emotional, relational, routine shifts, and physical stress associated with these significant and often very painful transitions. Our work promotes clarity, self-trust, hope, and the gradual rebuilding of a grounded future at your own pace and a gentle nudging from me.

Bridges Clinical Hypnotherapy Services
Hypnotherapist
Divorce is a life milestone that can cause us enter a psychological process essential to adjust to the change. It can fall into the same spectrum as grief and loss and as such raises issues that may find us stuck with being able to move on. Hypnosis can help to move past these obstacles and back to enjoying life.

Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, and its therapy landscape reflects this extraordinary diversity, with practitioners representing hundreds of cultural backgrounds and dozens of languages. The city's high cost of living and intensely competitive professional environment drive demand for therapists addressing financial anxiety, burnout, and the psychological pressures of ambitious urban life. CAMH — the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health — is Canada's largest mental health and addiction teaching hospital, providing major institutional resources alongside Toronto's vast private practice and counselling community. Ontario's OHIP coverage is limited for psychotherapy, so many residents use extended health benefits or pay out of pocket to access private therapy.
