Changes in the family structure, through a breakup, divorce, or death of a family member, often create confusion and unexpressed feelings in kids.
When kids start lashing out, disrespecting authority, isolating or hurting themselves, or not caring how their words and behaviors impact others, they need professional help. I'll take the time to see what's really going on and give them tools to better express themselves instead of act out.

That may look like repairing what has been broken, determining whether to divorce, or, if newly divorced, helping make this transition—and, perhaps, co-parenting—as amicable as possible.
The modality I often use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Distorted and automatic thoughts often lead to negative emotions and behaviors, keeping us stuck and creating barriers to connecting with our authentic self and with others. CBT aims to reframe these thought patterns and replace them while providing clients with problem-solving skills to cope.

I have a particular passion for working with children and adults with trauma history, adults with parenting struggles, men's issues, couples issues, and individuals going through a recent divorce/separation.
I strongly believe that inside every person are the strengths and lived experiences that make us unique and equipped to handle challenges. Sometimes we just need a little direction to see it. While I mainly focus on trauma and attachment-focused therapies, I utilize an eclectic approach that caters to each client. Counseling isn't one-size-fits-all.

CSI's licensed therapists and APRN can help your family with a variety of issues including: past trauma; strained relationships; attachment issues; mental health disorders such as depression, ADHD, anxiety, and others; behavioral problems such as hitting, yelling, isolating, risk-taking behaviors, and hurting themselves; divorce; grief and loss.
Sometimes childhood is interrupted by crisis—feelings and situations too big for children, teens and families to deal with on their own. Often children (especially teens) express their sadness, fear and anger through their behaviors and attitude. This "acting out" is especially challenging to caregivers. Child Saving Institute (CSI) offers comprehensive mental health services including pediatric, adolescent and family therapy alongside psychiatric evaluations and medication management services to children, teens and young adults.

Divorce Therapists

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.
