Going through a divorce can be a very difficult and emotional process.  People have compared coping with a divorce to coping with the death of a loved one.  Layer those feelings on to the court process, and it can be overwhelming–to say the least.

If you are struggling emotionally with your divorce, you may find it difficult to sit in meetings with your attorney and be an advocate for yourself.    It can also be challenging to be the parent you want to be as you are navigating the transition through the divorce process and into co-parenting. Being emotionally present and available to participate in your divorce and in your relationship with your co-parent and most importantly with your children, no matter what process you choose, is important.

Individual Divorce and Co-Parent Counseling is a brief treatment model that can be scheduled at intervals throughout the divorce process.  As a Mediator, I have a thorough understanding of the steps associated with a divorce and the different ways to approach the process.  As a social worker, I can help you emotionally prepare for each step and integrating child development and supports for your co-parenting relationship. Divorce counseling combines these two skills sets to help you throughout your divorce.

As a therapist working with families in the divorce or court process, I support you through the “emotional work” of the divorce process and help you prepare to be the best advocate you can be for yourself in the legal process.  This can include coaching that could save you time and money, as you and your attorney can stay focused on the legal aspects of your case during your meetings together.
