Divorce Therapists in Vancouver, BC

Experiences such as divorce , a layoff, the death of a loved one, emigration or the children moving house, bring with them changes that are difficult to assimilate and face. These situations mark people's lives, making them feel misunderstood, frustrated, sad or depressed, even making them question the meaning of life. But despite this, they want to find answers to accept reality and move on. I have had some of these experiences and now I am dedicated to supporting people to overcome them. I offer you to schedule your first appointment only for 70$ only in Spanish. Send me an email or send me a text.

Divorce is a challenging time for all family members. For children it can be especially difficult.
