Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
There are points in a relationship when going your separate ways becomes the best option. But how do you know the best way to get through such a mess? Everyone has seen a couple suffer through an acrimonious divorce, and it’s clear no one wins. People often don’t think about couples or individual therapy because they are leaving the relationship, but that turns out to be a major oversight. Trying to understand one another in the process of divorce can alleviate deep hurts and circumvent major pitfalls in the process of ending the relationship.
Divorcing can often mean dividing assets and agreeing to custody solutions. This process can be excruciating for both parties. Even if you might feel a deep rage toward your partner, allowing each person to openly discuss their desires in a safe environment can be both refreshing and illuminating, cutting through the unimportant dribble to what really matters: moving on with your life in a way that allows each person to thrive. You can trust us to be sensitive to the deep pain of this situation and to carefully hold each person’s subjectivity in order to see you through to the other side.
If it feels as though you can’t be in the same room with your ex partner, we offer individual therapy for either or both people to work through the pain and even logistics of such an enormous life change.

Going through a divorce can be incredibly stressful and painful (to say the least). It can bring up all kinds of emotions that can make it hard to function. It can get even more complicated when you consider the impact it can have on family, finances, kids, and more. Please give me a chance to help you find ways to cope effectively, rebuild, and move forward with your life.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for individuals navigating divorce, separation, relationship loss, and the emotional challenges that follow major life transitions. Divorce can bring grief, anxiety, depression, anger, loneliness, uncertainty about the future, and difficulty trusting again. Many people also struggle with identity changes, co-parenting stress, communication breakdowns, and unresolved emotional pain connected to the relationship.
Brad takes a holistic and personalized approach to divorce recovery counseling, helping clients process both the emotional impact of the relationship and any underlying trauma that may be contributing to difficulty moving forward. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore your personal history, understand emotional triggers, and work through grief, betrayal, and loss in a healthy and constructive way.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-focused counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients heal from relational trauma, rebuild self-trust, and restore emotional stability. Therapy focuses on helping clients process painful experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop healthier patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating.
Divorce often impacts trust, self-esteem, and the ability to feel emotionally safe in future relationships. Brad works collaboratively with clients to rebuild a strong sense of identity, improve emotional resilience, and develop healthier boundaries and communication skills. The goal is not only to heal from the past relationship, but to create a more grounded, empowered, and emotionally balanced future.
While talk therapy can provide support and insight, deeper healing often requires addressing the emotional wounds and patterns that may have been present long before or developed during the relationship. Brad’s approach focuses on lasting change rather than temporary relief.
Healing is possible after divorce. With the right support, clients can move forward with clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom—no longer defined by past relationships, but empowered to build a healthier and more fulfilling life.

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
While I don't specifically advertise as working with divorce, I do work with issues that often end in divorce and have done a number of workshops and online talks around couples and communication. In fact, for therapist who work with couples, the number 11 issue is lack of communication. Again, understanding consent, boundaries, and relationship dynamics is key to resolving couples issues. I trained in a protocol called Couple's Hypnosis where I hypnotize a couple together, take them to a place of complete honesty, openness, and lack of judgement and then pose a series of questions to each in turn to get the truth of their feelings around certain issues. If the couple has the willingness and courage to engage in this exploration it can lead to amazing insight in healing. Unfortunately, many clients don't have the courage to embrace honesty. I also see many clients post breakup and divorce who can't get past the loss of their partner and continue to obsess and mourn longer than is healthy. For these clients I am able to use hypnosis to break the hold their ex has on them and help them move on.
