Divorce and Separation
Divorce is not just a legal process—it is an emotional one. It can bring grief, confusion, anger, guilt, relief, and fear about the future, sometimes all at once. Divorce often disrupts identity, family dynamics, financial stability, and the sense of what life “should” look like.
Therapy creates a supportive space to process these emotions and rebuild your foundation. Together, we explore coping strategies, communication skills (especially if co-parenting is involved), boundary-setting, and ways to regain personal stability. The goal is not only to help you move through the pain, but to help you step into the next chapter with clarity, self-compassion, and renewed confidence.
Seek help if:
- Symptoms last more than two weeks
- Daily life feels unmanageable
- You have thoughts of harming yourself or your baby
- You feel anxious, panicked, or scared most of the day
- Immediate help: Call 911 if you feel you or someone else is in danger.
Other ways to cope:
- Talk to your doctor or OB-GYN—they can screen for postpartum depression and anxiety.
- Connect with a psychotherapist for guidance and coping strategies.
- Share your feelings with trusted family or friends.
- Practice self-care: rest, eat well, and accept help.
- Join support groups for new parents.
