Divorce, or the legal separation of people who were once married, can be difficult for partners, children, and any other family members involved. Counseling is helpful for each partner and any children affected by the change.
Available Treatment Options
Partners benefit from identifying and processing emotions in therapy. There is often a significant amount of hurt on one or both sides. Children of divorce may struggle to understand why their parents are separating, or they may be caught in a custody battle. Regardless of the specific situation, therapists can assist children in processing their thoughts and feelings and remind them that their parents’ decision isn’t their fault.

Sometimes all it takes is for someone to listen, someone to validate. Once validation occurs, we practice going through life every day- some things get better, some stay the same, but we learn more about ourselves and learn we can endure through it all. Let's do this together. Human connection can be so undervalued. My main experience has been with counseling children and families- also adults ...

You're brave enough to get this far and you're ready for something to change. You might not know what that is but you know something has to give.

Every failure we experience we feel as indicative of our future when in fact, everything we attempt, every time, has the potential for failure or success. We are not a coin. It is the responsibility of every counselor, professional or not, to honestly convey what is shared. I am a mirror; decidedly an imperfect mirror. What is shared is immediately a misrepresentation the moment it crosses the...
