Divorce Therapists in St Thomas, ON
As a forensic therapist specializing in high-conflict separation, parenting coordination, mediation, co-parenting counselling, parental alienation, and custody access evaluations and assessments, I've worked with hundreds of families who have struggled through the separation process to become successful co-parents. I also work with individuals or groups who have to deal with high conflict people (You know the ones. The ones who really should be in therapy but won't go, but instead create chaos everywhere), or relationships to develop better coping and conflict resolution skills, as well as those with ADHD or late diagnosed ASD.

You’re getting calls from the school about your child. If he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable. She hates herself, she hates you, and you’re an idiot for trying to help. He spends most of his time in his room glued to the phone or ignoring you. You can’t figure out what’s going on, you're frustrated, tired, and at a loss as a parent as to how to help. I get it. Parenting is hard sometimes. If your child or adolescent is struggling with issues around peer relationships, anxiety, depression, school, parental separation, ADHD, and other types of neurodiversity, I can help.

We work with individuals, families and couples struggling with trauma, relationship struggles, tough family dynamics and parenting. When you have experienced adverse events in your childhood or recent trauma you may have difficulties regulating your mood, feeling joy, advocating for yourself, and may often feel unworthy or undeserving of positive things. Life events can leave us worried about being both physically and socially safe, as well as lacking a sense of belonging. Anxiety is a common feeling, leading to low mood, anger, intrusive thoughts, failed or chaotic relationships. Living this way can lead to burnout.

I specialize in working with children, teens and young adults that are struggling with stress, big life changes, and overwhelming emotions that are hard to control. It can be so difficult to feel alone and like no one understands you, and even more lost on what step to take next. Sometimes the problem looks like outbursts of anger, deep sadness, rollercoaster emotions, complicated relationships, experiences of bullying, difficulties at school, or a hard time communicating with family. For young parents, managing life may seem impossible, in addition to judgements from family or friends around parenting.

Life isn't easy. In fact, the longer we have the privilege of living, the more we are sure to encounter challenges. Each of us is likely to face anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, life transitions, relationship struggles, and/or diagnoses we did not choose. Well-being and peace of mind may feel outside of our control. Together we can explore your personal experience and work towards achieving your goals of feeling better, finding contentment, and living your life based on the beliefs and values that are important to you.

Whether you're a child or an adult, I offer a warm, supportive space to explore these challenges. Together, we can find effective ways to manage stress, rebuild resilience, and navigate your path to a brighter, more balanced life.

Each of us has specific training and experience in working with men for a variety of issues including relationships, anger, infidelity, "I don't know why I'm here"/ "She told me I have to go to therapy", separation, and parent child contact issues post divorce.
Most men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or men don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

Having grown up in a small city, where you recognize faces as you go through town, I know the importance of community and connection. Through my work I have met many people who have not had support, community or even kindness throughout their lives. It can be hard to be vulnerable and reach out for help when this has been your experience. I am here to be that safe space for clients while they work out what their journey has meant to them. It is my hope to help them find connection and meaning in their own lives. I am not here just to share in client's struggles, but also in their joys, successes and laughter.

Divorce Counsellors
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.
