Divorce Counseling 

Divorce counseling is a specialized form of therapy that provides emotional support and guidance for individuals or couples at any stage of the divorce process navigate the challenges of separation and/or divorce.  

Divorce counseling assists in coping with challenges, such as emotional turmoil, adjusting to life changes, and facilitating the healing process associated with the end of a marriage or relationship. It can help you deal with feelings of grief, anger, sadness, guilt, or anxiety stemming from the end of your relationship. Counseling assists in adjusting to the significant life changes that accompany divorce, such as shifting roles, living arrangements, and changes in your financial status.After experiencing a divorce, you might feel a sense of loss of identity or self-worth. Counseling can help rebuild your self-esteem and allow you to rediscover your identity. 

If you have children, divorce counseling provides guidance on co-parenting strategies, communication techniques, and conflict resolution to help you both navigate responsibilities post-divorce and to help children adjust to their emotions and the necessary changes in their lives.

During divorce counseling, I provide a safe, confidential and supportive environment where you can express your feelings and thoughts freely. I help my patients process the emotions related to detachment from the relationship and  guide them through the stages of grief and adjustment and use therapeutic techniques to aid in coping with the  emotional upheaval you may have experienced and help you develop healthy coping mechanisms.

If you are at any stage of the divorce process including making the decision as to whether or not to divorce, divorce counseling can help restore balance to your life.
