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.
