Are you a teenager or adult struggling with a lack of confidence? Do you worry constantly about what might happen or what other people think of you? Perhaps you are struggling with depression and you just don't feel like the person you once were. Sometimes when people are struggling they tend to wait it out, hoping things will get better. Occasionally things do improve but more often than not the waiting it out approach can result in symptoms worsening. It can also lead to developing harmful ways of coping like isolation or alcohol or drug use.

Feeling eager to open up to a complete stranger, vocalizing all of your deepest, most intimate struggles and challenges? Probably not the first choice that comes to mind, but you are not alone. Many of my clients have arrived with similar reservations while facing issues such as depression, anxiety, grief/loss, family dynamics, relationships, life transitions, work conflicts and career exploration. My approach is two-fold, with the first focusing on the interaction between your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The second is to explore how your environment, family, school or social setting influenced your worldly view and actions.

Divorce Therapists

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
