What is divorce therapy?

Divorce therapy is a type of counseling that guides you through the process of separating from your partner, helps you cope with the emotional impact of divorce, and helps you create a new life for yourself. This form of therapy can benefit anyone who goes through a separation, whether it is or was amicable or contentious.

Divorce therapy aims to help you overcome the negative emotions associated with separation and move forward healthily. It allows you to express your feelings, gain perspective on the relationship, and explore ways to create a fulfilling life after divorce.

At ACT Family Therapy, Karen is a licensed therapist who specializes in divorce and provides a safe and supportive environment where you can address the emotional and practical issues relating to your separation.

Divorce therapy is an action-oriented process that requires commitment from both you and your therapist. In the initial sessions, Karen discusses your goals and establishes a plan for moving forward. She may use cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to help you manage your thoughts and emotions during this difficult period.

What happens during divorce therapy?

During divorce counseling, you learn how to identify and express your emotions in a healthy way. You may also learn how to communicate effectively with your ex-partner, which is especially important if children are involved. Karen may also offer parent guidance on co-parenting strategies, such as creating a parenting plan, establishing boundaries, and managing conflict.

Another important aspect of divorce therapy is addressing the stress and anxiety associated with your separation. You may be struggling with financial challenges, finding a new home, or adjusting to life as a single parent. Karen can offer practical advice on managing these difficulties and may help you develop a support system to overcome them.

What are the benefits of divorce therapy?

Divorce therapy offers many benefits. It provides:

  • A safe and non-judgmental space for you to process your emotions
  • An opportunity to connect with a trained professional
  • Sound guidance and support
  • Improved communication skills
  • Coping mechanisms to deal with stress and anxiety
  • Improvement in your overall mental health

Separating couples often struggle with communication, but working with Karen can help you express yourself effectively and listen to your ex-partner’s needs. This can be especially important when co-parenting children, as clear communication is essential for their well-being.
