If you are seeking help right now, you probably want something in your life to change. You might feel overwhelmed, sad, or anxious, out of balance, lacking in joy or energy, or just plain unhappy. In this fast-paced life where stress has become commonplace and acceptable, it may be time for you to take a "pause" to reflect on your life and re-align with your best self. In a safe, comfortable environment, together we will open the doors of self-awareness and trust, breaking down resistances and building a bridge to living your life with greater joy and ease. The first step is to be willing to take a peek at what's holding you back!

Divorce is an intensely stressful experience for all children, regardless of age or developmental level. The pain children experience is compounded by a sense of vulnerability and grief. During this time of sadness and change, children often feel alone as parents struggle with their own reactions to the divorce. This group helps participants identify and understand their feelings about their parents' divorce. They will learn positive coping skills to manage feelings of anger, sadness, loss, self-blame and conflicted loyalty. The group helps to decrease anxiety and worry about family circumstances and promote positive adjustment to changes within the family.

I bring to our therapeutic relationship over 25 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families. As a therapist I am deeply invested in my clients’ unique stories. It is my goal to help them develop insight into the ways that their past and present intersect with their neurobiology while also uncovering the narrative they developed as a way to make sense of their experiences. This takes us to a space of understanding and connection which is often where change happens.

Divorce Support Groups

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 behavioral, 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 behavioral 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.
