Divorce or separation is one of life’s most difficult transitions. Whether you’re certain this is the right decision or you’re torn between staying and leaving, the pain is real. The uncertainty is real. The fear about the future is real.
You might be experiencing overwhelming emotions: grief, anger, relief, shame, loneliness, guilt. You might be wondering if you’re making the right choice. You might be terrified about what comes next. You might be struggling with the practical decisions: where will you live? How will finances work? What about the kids?
You might be the one who wants the separation and still feel heartbroken. You might be the one being left and feel blindsided and abandoned. You might both agree it’s time but still grieve what you’re losing. None of these feelings are wrong.
This transition is hard. But you don’t have to navigate it alone.
At Equinox Therapeutic, our registered psychologists in Edmonton specialize in supporting people through divorce and separation. Whether you want individual therapy to process your emotions and make decisions, couples therapy to separate with clarity and respect, or support as you rebuild your life afterward, we’re here.
Book a free online consultation or an initial appointment (for a fee) to see if a therapist is a right fit for your needs.
In your initial sessions, your therapist will get info about your history and presenting problems, get to know what matters to you, and discuss how to help you achieve your treatment goals.
Feel empowered with support, clarity, and new tools to move forward confidently.
We’ve made it easier than ever to connect with a clinician who understands your needs. Use our team page to find a therapist based on therapy approach, life stage, and concerns.
Individual therapy is still valuable. You can work on your own emotional processing, make decisions, plan logistics, and build resilience. You don’t need both partners to attend for therapy to help.
If your partner is interested in couples work (discernment or conscious separation), that changes. But you can absolutely benefit from individual therapy regardless.
Kids need to know:
We help you prepare for these conversations and support your kids afterward. We can also help you decide what to tell them and when.
There’s rarely a “perfect” choice. There’s usually choosing between imperfect options. We help you:
Sometimes the “right” decision isn’t the easy one. Sometimes it’s the one that aligns with who you are.
This is incredibly painful. You’re grieving not just the relationship, but also the future you imagined. We help you:
It’s not fair that this is happening to you. And you can survive it and rebuild.
