Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Divorce: Sometimes when things are not working out with a marital partner, and people have grown apart, divorce seems like the best option. My goal in these cases is to get the two people involved to hear and respect each other so that things don't devolve into an impasse.

Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Successful negotiation of divorce is a frequent focus for my clients. Sometimes they will begin therapy while they are still married but are contemplating exiting the marriage, and sometimes clients present while divorcing or post divorce. There are a host of dimensions to this work. Often considering parenting and co-parenting is needed. Sometimes there are custody issues to work out. There could be a need for assistance in re-unifying or healing a relationship between a parent and child. Then for the parents there tend to become issues related to resuming dating, figuring out how to negotiate a new relationship in the context of parenting, and many other concerns. These are areas that I have experience with, both professionally, and personally. As a therapist I have worked clinically with countless people going through divorce, parents and children included. I also worked as a court employed child custody evaluator, in which I addressed high conflict divorcing couples. Personally, though, my life has been impacted by divorce both when I was child of divorcing parents and then as an adult when I went though my own divorce while co-parenting two young girls. I have come to realize that divorce is among the biggest stressors people can go through, and that helping the parents to divorce thoughtfully can have huge benefits to all parties involved. In my clinical work with divorce I use a variety of approaches. Sometimes I serve as a coach to one of the divorcing parties. Sometimes I work with the two parties to uncouple consciously. Such work with both parties can involve mediation, but so too can it involve ongoing coaching and support.

Jean Wolfe Powers
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T., International Life Coach, A.C.C.
The pain of divorce is devastating. Let’s catch the suffering and either work with your relationship to re-adjust to a feeling of wholeness or catch the grief of creating a new life after divorce. When working with a couple, I focus on healing through developing insight. I know this is difficult when you are facing many life struggles such as depression, addictions, affairs, grief, anxiety, and misaligned values. Through the vulnerability that comes up in therapy, healing is possible to an enormous degree.
