HEALING THROUGH DIVORCE

Divorce Support & Co-Parenting Help

Couples Counseling for Singles

Can you really heal after a divorce?

Divorce is messy ... not just legally, but emotionally. You're not just ending a relationship but grieving the future you thought you'd have. The holidays you thought you'd share, the routines that shaped your days and the dream of what could've been.

Those constant thoughts of "what ifs" leave you feeling emotionally exhausted.

Or maybe you are exhausted from the energy it is taking to stay civil while protecting your kids from the emotional fallout.

Whether the divorce was your choice or not, the pain is real and it can feel overwhelming. The thought of figuring out what life will look like for you feels confusing and anxiety provoking.

You feel as though you are losing your identity, your stability and your sense of control all at once with no clear direction of what divorce will look like.

You might feel broken right now, but this is a turning point. After therapy, clients often feel more grounded, confident and clear about who they are and what they want. Your can start to parent from a place of peace, not chaos. You will make decisions based on your values and who are you are, not wounds from a broken marriage.

Co-parenting with confidence, even if your ex is unpredictable or "toxic"
Having a clear plan to manage transitions, boundaries, and big emotions (yours and your kids')
Rebuilding your identity outside of your marriage and actually liking this new version of you.

Therapy gives you the tools, support and reality check when you need it the most. Because it's not just about surviving divorce ... it's about thriving on the other side.

THE THERAPY PROCESS

It is hard to really visualize what therapy is going to look like and how it works. To make it easy, I want to let you know what to expect.

The first few sessions are really for me to get to know you better. So understand that it is a process before we really start to work.

The first session is a lot of word vomit because I am trying to get a sense of everything that is going on and really go through some of the “standard” questions. These questions are for me to gauge where you are and where you want to go.

For the second session, I do like to get a bit of history. To start unpacking your baggage, I need to know what I am working with.

The third session is where we start building tools to help you in your vision.

Now, there may be hurdles. There may be times where you feel uncomfortable talking about things. That is ok. It is expected. I am mindful that this process can be emotionally exhausting, but remember it is necessary.

Once you start to see changes, I will reduce your sessions so that you can start to put those tools to use. The more open, honest, and vulnerable you are in the process, the more results you will start to see. Eventually, we will come to a point where therapy has done its job and it is time for you spread your wings and FLY (LOL)!

DIVORCE TOPICS
WE WILL DISCUSS

Previous relationship issues

In order for us to figure out what is happening now, it is necessary for me to break down your relationship patterns. This way we can figure out what you need to avoid or what you need to look for in a future partner.

Your stressors around the legal process

While I am not an attorney, I understand that the legal process and the uncertainty of what divorce looks like can create an intense amount of anxiety for clients. Through our sessions, we will break down your concerns and topics of conversations that would be important to discuss with your attorney. Knowing what questions to ask is vital during this process.

Co-Parenting Concerns

One of the biggest stressors I find with clients is what divorce is going to look like for their kids. As a parent, I understand wanting the best for their children, so it is vital for me to help my clients create the best co-parenting plan that prioritize their children. That often also requires us to discuss the importance of putting their hurt/ego aside to really think about what is in the best interest of their kids. We also discuss the importance of letting go of the guilt they feel as they go through the divorce process, as well as, redefining their role as a parent.

Types of relationships

It is also important to talk about other relationships that exist in your life like family and friends. Understanding our roles in these types of relationships can help us understand more about changes we need to make outside of romantic endeavors to build a better support system.

Self-Care and Boundaries

One of my biggest priorities with clients is to make sure that they are taking care of themselves. They often place priority in others and therefore, can feel overwhelmed by the expectations of others. It is important to talk about what is needed for self-care and creating boundaries in order for change to be long-lasting and beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IF I'M UNSURE ABOUT GETTING DIVORCED?

Thats okay. Therapy can help you sort through ambivalence, identify what you want, and make a decision based on what is in your best interest.

I AM STRUGGLING WITH MY EX'S BEHAVIOR. CAN THERAPY HELP?

Absolutely. Co-parenting with someone who dismisses boundaries, manipulates the situation, or refuses to communicate can be emotionally exhausting. It often feels like you're fighting with a brick wall, trying to do what's right for your children while your ex seems more focused on control, conflict and/or their own ego.

In therapy, we'll work through those painful dynamics and give you practical tools to manage the chaos. Together, we'll build strong boundaries, improve communication strategies where possible, and most importantly, help you stay centered and grounded so you can protect your children's wellbeing, even when your ex makes it hard.

I DON'T HAVE KIDS. CAN THIS STILL HELP ME?

Ummm... yea! This work is just as powerful for individuals without children. We'll focus on your personal healing and post-divorce growth.

WHAT IF I FEEL ASHAMED OF MY DIVORCE?

You're not alone. Divorce is a loss, not a failure. Therapy helps you release shame and rebuild self-worth.
