I am both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified PE (Prolonged Exposure) Therapist and consultant for trauma victims suffering with PTSD. Prolonged Exposure is an evidence-based therapy also utilized in treating depression, anger, guilt, and general anxiety.

I'm Sarah, and I help Neurodivergent kids and teens feel more confident in their skin. Is your child having difficulties making or keeping friends, too competitive or too rough with others, or is struggling with anxiety and depression? I'm here to help. I work with my clients using their strengths and passions to create goals rather than trying to make them appear "normal".

You’ve spent years molding yourself to fit others’ expectations—saying yes when you wanted to say no, keeping the peace at your own expense, and losing yourself in the process. You put everyone first, silence your needs, and carry anxiety, guilt, resentment, or burnout you rarely name out loud. You may feel disconnected from yourself—unsure what you want, afraid of conflict, stuck in people-pleasing cycles, repeating patterns from childhood, or losing your identity in relationships. If you’re tired of self-betrayal and want to finally reclaim your voice, values, and boundaries, you’re in the right place.

Here's the irony: divorce is not something you should go through alone.
So, you're getting divorced. First, I'm sorry you're going through this, or any other upsetting and life-altering experience, including job loss, grief, or litigation, among others. I'm sure getting to this point has been no fun at all. And now comes the hard part: hanging onto yourself while your life gets rearranged.

I work with men struggling with relationships, divorce, and barriers that prevent them from living the abundant lives they deserve.
Remember when life was simpler? You were so full of hope and optimism. So sure, that you could tackle anything the universe threw your way. You felt like you had life by the reigns, until you didn't. Perhaps you changed jobs and hate your new position. Maybe you got divorced and are struggling to adapt to life newly single. Feeling that pit of anxiety in your stomach makes you sick, but you're not sure what to do.

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.
