Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Nobody likes divorce. It's never easy. However, I'd love to make it easier for you. Whether it's your parents who are splitting up or if it's your own marriage dissolving, I'd love to help you through the transition. It's true that I do a lot of marriage counseling, and I do love helping couples work things out. However, I also know that staying married isn’t always the best option for every couple. And in those cases, I am more than happy to help you find a path through to the other side.

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.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I take a compassionate and supportive approach to help indiviudals navigate the complex emotions involved in the process of a divorce. Using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in managing overwhelming feelings, reframing negative thoughts, and developing effective coping strategies. My approach is collaborative, meaning I work closely with clients to set goals that align with their values and needs, fostering a sense of agency and empowerment. For those with children, I place a strong emphasis on maintaining a stable and supportive environment for the family. I guide parents in addressing their children’s emotional needs while managing their own, using techniques from family systems theory to improve communication and co-parenting. By combining empathy with practical strategies, I help clients work through their emotions and focus on creating a positive and constructive path forward for themselves and their families.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
Divorce: Navigating the Systemic Shift
Untangling the Past, Architecting the Future
Divorce is one of the most significant "life transitions" a human can experience. It is rarely just the end of a legal contract; it is a profound restructuring of your identity, your family system, and your future. In my practice, I provide a courageous and neutral space to navigate the overwhelm of uncoupling with dignity, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.
Honoring the Complexity of the Split
Whether you are in the initial stages of discernment or are navigating the aftermath of a finalized decree, we address the layers of the transition:
The Grief Cycle: Moving through the shock, anger, and deep sorrow of the "death" of a shared dream.
Co-Parenting Systems: Using Systems Theory to build a functional, healthy bridge between two homes, ensuring that the children’s needs remain central during the shift.
Identity Re-Formation: Answering the question, "Who am I outside of this 'we'?" and rediscovering your agency and voice.
A Clinical Approach to Uncoupling
With over 20 years of experience, I support individuals and couples through the various stages of divorce:
Discernment Counseling: A specialized space for couples who are "on the brink"—helping you decide with clarity whether to commit to repair or to begin the process of uncoupling.
EFT & Attachment Repair: Even in divorce, understanding your attachment styles can prevent "high-conflict" cycles and help you move through the process without further trauma.
Spiritual Deconstruction & Divorce: For those in religious or spiritual communities, divorce can bring a secondary layer of spiritual trauma or disillusionment. My background (M.Div/PhD) allows us to hold these spiritual questions alongside the clinical ones.
Transitioning with Integrity
I have a "special love" for working with high-profile "healers"—pastors and therapists—navigating divorce. I understand the unique pressure of maintaining a professional "helping" role while your personal system is in flux.
Divorce does not have to be a story of destruction. It can be a story of evolution, boundary-setting, and the courageous pursuit of a more authentic life.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Divorce can be one of the most difficult times in an adult’s life, and of course family members. All kinds of levels of adjustment need to occur-from the financial part to emotional loss or aftereffects of a negative marriage. Looking at patterns in relationships can help a divorced person avoid mistakes in the future. It can also be a time of great personal growth once the pain heals a bit.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Divorce is life-changing for everyone involved, even when it brings relief. I've worked with many individuals, families, and children on navigating the steps leading up to and the aftermath of divorce to help support adjustment and a sense of normalcy amidst all of the changes that divorce is sure to bring. This often includes grief processing and understanding of relational patterns/cycles for individuals, processing through difficult feelings and confusion for kids, supporting parents in helping their children to adjust to these changes, and helping adults navigate the new waters of co-parenting as they work to be aligned and consistent in their parenting approaches.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
I have worked with clients navigating all stages of divorce. It can be beautiful work that is filled with grief and self-discovery. When monumental parts of life change, we are often forced to face who we are versus who we were, and who we want to be. That can be scary to do alone. I often take a somatic approach to those navigating divorce, connecting clients back to the innate wisdom of their own bodies, while providing grief support and practical resources.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Are you feeling like a jumbled mass of goo? Did you know that as the caterpillar transforms in the chrysalis, it totally breaks down into a slurry of goo before reforming into the beautiful being that we call a butterfly? I have found that to be a powerful image in considering the process of transformational change, especially that of divorce. We tend to focus on the end result of the butterfly without acknowledging the hard work of the caterpillar and the messy work of the chrysalis. Holistic Life Coaching offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to examine and explore what's happening for you in this moment of transition and transformation. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past but on how to get you the life you want next. Our work will be to give you the space to become. A space for you to speak your truth fully without filter. A space to find your true voice today. A space to find your feet and your footing as you learn to walk forward as an unattached individual in your own power again. A space to decide and define what comes next.
