Divorce therapy
Helping people going through separation and divorce find steadier ground.
Divorce Changes More Than Your Relationship Status
Divorce doesn’t just end a marriage…
..it disrupts:
Your sense of identity
Your assumptions about love, trust, and safety
Your financial and family structure
Your nervous system
Your future plans
Many people are surprised by how long the emotional impact lasts—or by how intense it still feels long after the paperwork is signed.
You may notice:
Persistent anxiety, sadness, or emotional numbness
Rumination or replaying the relationship over and over
Difficulty trusting yourself or others
Guilt, shame, or self-blame
Anger that feels stuck or explosive
Fear about future relationships
Ongoing stress due to co-parenting or a high-conflict ex.
Feeling like you “should be over this by now” but aren’t
You’re ready to…
Stop replaying the relationship and start making sense of what actually happened—without blaming yourself or rewriting history.
Feel more emotionally steady
Untangle your past from your present, especially if divorce stress is bleeding into co-parenting, dating, or a new blended family.
Trust yourself again
To move forward thoughtfully
HOW IT WORKS
This chapter doesn’t have to define the rest of your life.
Therapy for divorce is not one-size-fits-all experience. Our work is collaborative, goes at your pace, and it’s tailored to your specific situation.
We’ll spend time making sense of what you’ve been through: the relationship, the separation or divorce itself, and the ways it’s impacted you. As we do that, we focus on helping you feel more steady—so you’re not constantly on edge, shut down, or caught in emotional swings that take over your day or your decisions.
There’s room to feel grief, anger, disappointment, and the loss of what you hoped for, even when the divorce was the right choice, without being pushed toward forgiveness or positivity before you’re ready.
We’ll also gently look at patterns and beliefs that may have shaped your experience, so you can rebuild trust in yourself and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
If children are part of your life, our work can include navigating co-parenting stress, boundaries, and ongoing contact with an ex or a new family dynamic. Over time, the focus shifts from what ended to who you’re becoming—helping you reconnect with your values, your sense of agency, and your self-worth.
