My name is Brittany Miles Jacquote, but I go by Joyce. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and a licensed chemical dependency counselor with eight years of clinical experience. I typically work with clients experiencing Family Conflict, Divorce, Relationship Issues, LGBTQIA+, and Marital/Pre-Marital issues. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities such as Clinical Supervision and Licensed, Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Gottman Method, and Narrative therapies. I believe that goals are only practical if a client is entirely on board; therefore, goal setting is a collaborative process.

As a queer woman, I have walked the walk in terms of identity and sexuality issues, I have experienced divorce as a child and then as an adult, so I am well versed in family conflict therapy, divorce, isolation, and life transitions to name a few.
If you are like me, the last 3-5 years have been extremely harrowing and has probably stripped away most coping skills we have developed. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker under supervision I want to provide tools, a safe space for an open dialogue about what YOU are struggling with, and a path to feeling positive and hopeful again. I am comfortable working with any age group but my passions are adolescents and clients in the Elder/Geriatric population as well as dealing with chronic pain and illness. I have worked as a Prevention and Intervention Specialist with at risk youth and families and I spent 6 years working in Hospice.

The bulk of my practice involves issues regarding children's adjustment to divorce, alienation and estrangement dynamics, children's suggestibility, and the impact of parental conflict on healthy child development.
My primary role as your therapist is to help you determine what sort of life you want to live and help you to create it. I don't use a 'one size fits all' approach but a mixed Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral approach rooted in Family Systems Theory. I also work with the family courts as a treating expert, a very different role than that of a traditional psychotherapist. As a forensically-informed Collaborative Divorce Mental Health Professional, Parenting Facilitator/Coordinator, Reunification Therapist, and New Ways for Families Parent Educator, I will use my knowledge to help you satisfy requirements in a legal setting.

I specialize in recovery in the broadest sense: recovery from grief and loss, substance use disorders (gray area drinking is a particular strength of mine), divorce, illness, life changes, relationships and codependency, depression, anxiety, and trauma.
The world we live in is challenging, and our attention is pulled in so many different directions that it is easy to lose touch with our own inner guidance and wisdom. We can find ourselves overwhelmed, distracted, exhausted, and disconnected from what brings us a sense of stability, purpose, and contentment in our lives. It is my desire to help you reconnect, discover, and explore what is truly meaningful for you, what brings you the most peace and ease, and to make authentic changes, so that you can navigate the challenges and joys of your life with awareness, courage, and a strong sense of self.

We all have hurts that need attention and we do not always know how to do that. I believe we were created for relationships and at times those relationships or how we are going about them can be unhealthy. Due to that, we have adapted and learned coping mechanisms that have allowed us to function and move on. However, those coping mechanisms can stop working after a while and this is what creates an imbalance in our system that we need to make right or it can begin to generate stresses that spill over into other aspects of our lives.

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.
