Divorce (separation) is one of the most life-challenging events one can experience. It may bring a mixture of confusing feelings such as relief, sadness, mourning, fear, anger and anxiety. Individual therapy or group experiences can help you feel less alone and more empowered to take steps toward understanding how you can move forward, build and utilize your internal strengths, and benefit from the support and feedback of others who have been challenged in the same ways.

Impact of Adult ADHD on Relationships
![Photo of K Kerstin Gutierrez - K. Kerstin Gutierrez, Psy.D., PsyD, Psychologist](https://photos.psychologytoday.com/3c939a99-46cd-11ea-a6ad-06142c356176/2/320x400.jpeg)
Adult ADHD may have a significant impact on relationships. The impact is often overlooked or misunderstood, and can result in parent-child estrangement, divorce and separation, job-loss, poor ability to sustain adult relationships, and poor school performance, and even long-term health consequences and vehicle accidents. Individual therapy or group therapy can help you better understand how this neurological issue can be identified and addressed in your own life and the well-being of those you love.

You may be leaving a long-term relationship, separating from a marriage, or simply struggling as a result of estrangement from a loved one or dissatisfaction with your own outlook. You may wonder if you are ready to be in a relationship. A therapeutic group can offer a sense of support, affiliation and a new outlook. This group is a confidential, online group, meeting in late afternoon or early evening, once a week. You will be able to access the group from the comfort of your own space. Please call for a 15 minute consultation.
