Teri L. Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LCPC
As a Divorce Mediator I can assist you in navigating the ending of your marriage. I received my Divorce Mediator certificate from Northwestern University. My specialization is in the emotional aspect of the divorce. There are ways to separate that allows for detachment from the anger that often accompanies divorce, and helps each party to be free from that attachment. If children are involved it is important to learn a new way of being together as a "family." I have worked with many couples who were able to divorce without the emotional bondage that often occurs without therapy.

Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Divorce and separation can be (and usually is) a very difficult experience that can take its toll on the family being affected. There are ways, however, to minimize the emotional damage and work toward resolution so that the healing process can begin.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals processing divorce, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment for them to navigate the emotional and practical aspects of the process. Through therapy, we work together to explore and validate their feelings of grief, anger, sadness, or relief. I offer coping strategies and tools to manage the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, including mindfulness techniques, journaling, and self-care practices. Additionally, we address practical concerns such as legal proceedings, financial adjustments, and co-parenting arrangements, helping them feel empowered and prepared for the next steps. I also provide a supportive space for individuals to reflect on their experiences, gain clarity, and envision a positive future beyond divorce. My goal is to help them heal from the pain of separation, rebuild their lives with resilience and optimism, and navigate the transition to a new chapter with confidence and strength.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I'd help someone going through a divorce by giving them a safe place to talk about how they're feeling. We'd dig into any emotional stuff or past traumas connected to the split, and figure out ways to deal with the sadness, loss, and uncertainty. Plus, we'd work on skills to handle co-parenting, deal with arguments, and start over after the divorce. The goal of therapy would be to help them heal from the hurt of the breakup, feel better about themselves, and get back on track in a positive way.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Divorce can significantly impact someone dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression in various ways. For instance, it can intensify feelings of loneliness and trigger addictive behaviors as a way to cope with emotional pain. It may also exacerbate existing relationship issues, leading to further stress and conflict. Moreover, divorce can worsen symptoms of depression, amplifying feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness.
As a therapist specializing in these cases, I would provide empathetic support and a non-judgmental space for clients to express their emotions and concerns. I would offer practical guidance on coping strategies tailored to their specific situation, such as finding healthy outlets for stress, rebuilding self-esteem, and fostering positive social connections. Additionally, I would help them explore underlying issues contributing to their struggles and work collaboratively to develop personalized solutions for moving forward in a positive direction.
