Divorce
Michelle Bourgerie
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Divorce is so painful. I work with women who have tried everything, and divorce is the last thing that they want. Unwanted divorce is how I describe a divorce that is being forced upon you, or when, despite your best and longest efforts, you choose to initiate a divorce. Some women try to save their marriages for years and years, but it takes two people to save a marriage. I'm here for women who are working on themselves, grieving over the state of their marriage, just been served divorce papers, or are in the midst of researching their options before they decide what to do. If you are in the midst of mediation or divorce, or on the other side of it and yet can't see the light at the end of the tunnel now that the marriage is over, please call me. You deserve support, and I can walk beside you as you rebuild and discover what life still has in store, as you dare to imagine something new as you continue to become the woman that you want to be.

Lisa McNelley Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #156096
While over half of married couples end up divorcing, it still can feel like having the plague. Your best friend and most intimate partner becomes a stranger at best, or an arch enemy at worst. Fold in children and the level of conflict and challenges become exponential. I provide a safe space to unpack your relationship and learn healthy ways to take care of yourself while you navigate the divorce.

Nancee Belshaw
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Divorce or the end of a significant relationship can bring feelings of grief, anger, uncertainty, and loneliness, even when separation is the right decision. You may be struggling with changes in your identity, family relationships, or expectations for the future. I provide a supportive environment where you can process these emotions, gain perspective on your experiences, and begin rebuilding your confidence. Therapy can help you navigate this transition and discover new opportunities for independence, connection, and personal fulfillment.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Divorce can bring up grief, loss, anger, uncertainty, and questions about your future. It can also activate deeper wounds related to rejection, abandonment, self-worth, and attachment. Many people find themselves replaying the relationship, questioning what happened, or worrying about repeating the same patterns in the future. I help clients process the emotional impact of divorce, heal underlying relationship wounds, strengthen self-trust, and move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are facing separation, divorce, or major relationship transitions. While therapy often focuses on repairing and strengthening relationships, I also understand that not all couples are meant to stay together. In some situations, ending a relationship can be a healthy and necessary step forward.
My role is to help you navigate this process with clarity, respect, and care for your emotional wellbeing. This may include supporting couples in having honest conversations about whether to continue the relationship, helping partners separate in a way that reduces conflict, or working with individuals who are grieving the loss of a relationship and redefining their lives.
When children, shared responsibilities, or long histories are involved, therapy can help create more thoughtful communication and healthier boundaries moving forward. Whether you are working toward reconciliation or separation, the goal is to support you in making decisions that align with your values and allow for greater stability, growth, and emotional health.
