Who Should Consider Divorce Therapy?
- My partner and I are trapped in the same arguments. We need to make decisions and move forward, but we’re stuck in the same fights that brought us to this point.
- We can’t agree on how to take care of our kids, and it’s negatively impacting our children.
- My kids are angry at me (or my partner) because we’re getting divorced, and we don’t know how to help them.
- I’m having difficulty letting go and moving on.
- I feel like a failure because my marriage didn’t work out, and I’m embarrassed for people to find out I’m getting divorced.
- I’ve put all my time and energy into saving my marriage for years, and now, I feel exhausted and like I wasted my time.
- I know I should feel good about my future opportunities, but thinking about being single and starting over just makes me feel stressed and tired.
- Now that I am on my own I have no idea what I like, want, or need.
- I miss my kids so desperately when they are with their other parent.
- I worry all the time that I am going to really hurt my kids by getting divorced.




Should children, adolescents, or teens with divorcing parents go to therapy?
Young people may really struggle when their parents are getting divorced or separating. As a parent, you want to support and comfort your child through this transition, but you’re struggling too. Therapy gives children and teens a safe space and an outlet to work through some of the things they’re experiencing with a neutral confidant. It also removes some of the stress from your shoulders, so you can work through your own difficulties with the transition. Managing your children’s feelings while healing your heart-break is too much for many people. Working with a therapist allows you to have a team approach to making sure your child feels safe and loved during this transition.
What can I expect during therapy?
Many people choose to seek out divorce therapy on their own to process the painful emotions and start healing their broken hearts. Others schedule relationship therapy sessions to have a safe space to talk through the divorce process with their partner. Whatever your needs or goals, a therapist can work with you and/or your partner to navigate this difficult time. We can continually adjust our therapy plan as your needs and goals change. We’re here to support you and offer a safe and stable environment to work through everything that comes up as you go through a divorce.
