“What happened to us?” is a common thought many couples have. You go from lovers, to partners, to roommates. Life stressors, life events or simply new seasons of life can slowly dissolve a relationship, if we are not prepared. Individuals can go on autopilot and become unaware of their relationship. Many events such as an infidelity, financial hardships, parenting challenges, a new baby, job loss, mental health can affect the stability of a couple.

I also see adult clients, including those who suffer from what I call "life issues" like divorce/separation, mid-life "crises", career struggles and/or a general sense of existential angst.
Summer is here. Your teen seems to be doing ok, but you are worried school will be here sooner than later and are concerned about what the future holds. Your teenager is anxious, depressed, or a combination of both. They don't seem to be able to maintain focus, they lack motivation, and are under-perform in school. They might have suicidal thoughts, be self-harming, or have turned to the internet, alcohol or drugs to cope. But, they won't talk to you about what is happening. I can help. I speak TikTok, have tattoos, wear Vans, and listen to alternative music. I connect very well with adolescents and they open up to me.

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.
