I've endured challenges myself: divorce, career change, job loss, financial insecurity, mental health issues including MDD, ADD, and anxiety, and the loss of loved ones from illness and suicide.
You have plans and good intentions, but you’ve lost something important: a sense of perspective, your ability to improvise, your sense of humor, the energy to just get out of bed. The outcomes of difficult transitions and demanding circumstances in our lives are shaped by our gifts, skills, and intelligence as well as our unhealthy behaviors and our personal histories. Compassionate, creative therapists, experienced with a diverse range of clients and issues, can help you work through disappointments and setbacks and move forward with strategies, courage, and optimism. That's what I do, and I love it.

I have been a therapist for over 23 years. I accept clients from Headway and Alma. I recognized it is difficult to have an outsider involved in your issues but there is a time when we are unable to move forward on our own and that is time to seek treatment. My experience are with both children and adults. My goal as a therapist is to help the child or adult through their crisis while teaching coping skills to manage similar issues in the future. The approaches I used in treatment are cognitive behavioral, insight oriented and family systems. I have experience with separation and loss, trauma issues, PTSD, Depression and anxiety.

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.
