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.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
A divorce is more than just a legal ending; it is often a profound emotional upheaval that can trigger our deepest fears of abandonment and rejection. With over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult transitions, I understand how a separation can cause your 'parts' to spiral into intense anxiety, anger, or despair.
I provide a steady, compassionate space for you to process the grief of this transition and make sense of the patterns that emerged within the relationship. Together, we work to stabilize your system and strengthen your sense of self, helping you move through the pain of the 'ending' toward a future of clarity and resilience.

As a psychotherapist specializing in divorce, and also someone who has experienced the complexities of divorce within my own family, I offer a unique perspective and understanding of the emotional journey that accompanies this life-altering event. I recognize that divorce can be an incredibly challenging and painful process, filled with a multitude of emotions such as grief, anger, fear, and confusion. Drawing from my personal and professional experiences, I provide a safe and empathetic space for individuals navigating the complexities of divorce. Together, we will explore the emotional impact divorce has on your life, relationships, and sense of self. By fostering a non-judgmental and compassionate environment, I will help you process and heal from the wounds of divorce, empowering you to embrace personal growth and transformation. Utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), and mindfulness practices, I will guide you in developing effective coping strategies to manage the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies divorce. Additionally, I offer guidance on co-parenting dynamics, helping you navigate the challenges of shared custody and fostering effective communication with your former partner. My ultimate goal is to support you in rebuilding your life, finding personal fulfillment, and embracing a future filled with hope, resilience, and newfound strength.

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.

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.

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.

Divorce and separation can bring grief, anger, relief, fear, identity changes, parenting stress, and uncertainty about the future. Therapy can help you process the emotional impact, navigate communication and boundaries, and make decisions from a more grounded place. I offer support for individuals, couples, and families moving through separation or major relationship change.

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.

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.
