Embarking on the challenging path of divorce recovery can often feel like an endless journey, filled with questions that linger and emotions that seem insurmountable. As a seasoned therapist specializing in divorce recovery, I intimately understand the lingering doubts: Does anyone truly recover from divorce? Can the guilt of leaving a partner or spouse ever truly dissipate? How are children affected by divorce? And, perhaps most significantly, do the children ever find peace amid the lingering anger? Having navigated this terrain myself along with my children, I bring a unique empathy to those facing divorce.

One of the most challenging things to do sometimes is to ask for help. Seeking out a therapist is no different; maybe even more challenging. In reaching out and embracing counseling, you could learn and develop new skills for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, more effective ways of coping, and improve self-esteem.

You’ve always pushed through hard times but now you’re overwhelmed, feeling on edge and having a hard time keeping up with work and family.
Picture yourself taking back your power and rediscovering your purpose. You are no longer bothered by reminders of the past. You are managing your work and home life with ease. Most importantly, you finally feel truly calm.

Family Therapy Therapists
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.

How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.

How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.

Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
