We’re here to help you navigate the new normal.
A Safe Space to Heal and Gain Clarity
Ending a marriage is painful. Regardless of who initiated the separation, you may be experiencing overwhelm, fear, loneliness, or anger. Can we afford to live apart? How do we handle holidays, birthdays, and graduations? Why wasn’t I enough? These are all natural questions, and we can help you navigate them. Our therapists are here to support and guide you during this difficult time. We’ll help you cope with and overcome the pain you are feeling, communicate more effectively, and plan a new path forward.
Helping Children Thrive through Divorce
Children of parents whose relationship is ending can be angry, confused, and fearful about the future. Looking for answers, they may misplace blame on themselves or act out. We will help your child understand that it’s not their fault, teach them to manage the emotions and changes they are experiencing, and most importantly, let them know that their parents love them. Our therapists have extensive training and experience working with children and are able to connect with them through play therapy and other tools. Depending upon the age, sessions may incorporate the use of toys, puppets, games, arts & crafts, dance and movement, and other fun activities to aid your child in working through and communicating how they are feeling. We’re committed to helping your child feel better about things they can’t control, reducing anxiety, and stopping the negative feelings about the change in family dynamics.
