Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Divorce can be one of life’s most challenging transitions. It can bring grief, uncertainty, anger, relief, loneliness, and a profound sense of having to redefine who you are and what comes next.
I work with individuals who are navigating separation and divorce to create a space where they can process what has happened, understand their emotions, and make thoughtful decisions about the life they want to build moving forward. My role is not to tell you what choices to make, but to help you gain clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and respond to this transition in ways that are aligned with your values.
For many people, divorce also means learning how to communicate differently with a former partner, establish healthy boundaries, and navigate co-parenting while managing the emotional complexities of the relationship. We can work together to reduce reactivity, develop more effective ways of communicating, and help you remain grounded during difficult interactions.
Drawing on my clinical experience and training in cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and short-term therapy, I help clients identify the thoughts and patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop practical strategies for moving forward.
Divorce may change the life you expected to have, but it does not have to define the life you create next. Therapy can be a place to grieve what you are leaving behind, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a future that feels more intentional, authentic, and fulfilling.
