Amidst a decades-long career in mental health, social work, and nursing, I’ve come to learn that there is a profound impact in being truly heard, understood and supported in your growth. Hello, and welcome! My name is Christine Loop. I specialize in supporting adults in mid and later life who face a crossroads: you may feel depleted, stuck, or invisible after years of holding relationships, families, and responsibilities together. Many of my clients are navigating long-term relationship endings, 'empty nest' syndrome, retirement transitions, grief, or other major life and health changes.

Sometimes couples find themselves caught in the same painful cycle. One person feels hurt or disconnected and reaches for their partner, while the other feels overwhelmed or unsure what to do and pulls away. The more one pursues, the more the other withdraws—and both can end up feeling frustrated, discouraged, and misunderstood.
You may be arguing about the same things, struggling to communicate, feeling emotionally distant, or wondering what happened to the connection you once had. You may care deeply about each other and still feel stuck in patterns that seem to take over when emotions run high.

Life can feel especially heavy when you’re carrying grief, moving through divorce, caring for others, living with chronic pain or illness, or trying to manage the pressures of work, parenting, and relationships.
Having experienced challenges such as separation and single parenting, I understand what it feels like to face uncertainty with no clear path forward. I also know the pressures of the professional world, having worked in business before becoming a therapist. These experiences inform the compassion and perspective I bring to my work.

Many times we find ourselves "stuck in a rut" not knowing how to address our challenges. It looks like we are separated from our goals and we are not sure how to move forward. Seeing a psychotherapist is like the process of crossing the bridge to freedom from "here" to "where you want/need to be". In our practice, we use a holistic treatment approach consisting of: psychotherapy , lifestyle management strategies (sleep, nutrition, physical exercise), building support and at client's request spiritual/ faith-based practice(s).

Nobody prepares you for how many times adulthood asks you to reinvent yourself. Relationships change. Careers change. Friendships change. Sometimes you change too, and suddenly the things that used to work just don't anymore!

Maybe you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or tired of ending up in the same patterns. I work with adults, couples, and LGBTQ2S+ individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationships, identity, and life's many transitions.

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.
What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.
When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.
How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
