Sayra Besner, Divorce Recovery Therapist

Maybe you have already left. Maybe you are still lying awake doing the math on whether you should, dreading the conversation with the kids, the explaining to everyone else, the moment the life you built becomes the story you have to tell. Either way you have been surviving this longer than anyone around you knows. Divorce is an unwinnable position before it even starts: stay and keep losing yourself, leave and blow up everything you built. No clean option exists. What does exist is a way through the anxiety, the grief, the second-guessing, that does not require you to figure it all out alone at 2am. That is what this is.

I left a marriage with my clothes in garbage bags, two kids, and no plan. I had the clinical degree and still had no roadmap. That gap is exactly why I work the way I do. We skip the endless processing and build something real: who u are now, what u actually want, and the steps to get there. Direct, no fluff, probably some laughing, definitely some crying.

You do not need to have made a decision yet. You just need to be done white-knuckling it alone. Book a free 15-minute call. We will both know fast if this is the right fit. If it is not, I will tell you and point you somewhere better. I mean that. The women who find me are usually done waiting. If that is you, reach out.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Narrative
Person-Centered
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
Strength-Based

You are not one thing right now. There is the part grieving what you built, the part that is furious, the part terrified of what comes next. IFS helps us figure out which one is running the show, what it is scared of, what it needs. Once you hear them without being hijacked, decisions get clearer. Most clients leave the first session clearer than they came in.
