John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, MACP LPCC LMFT
Divorce is traumatic - even the amiable ones. Removing, or changing a significant other from your life can have deep affects on self-esteem, security and identity. I work with transitional clients to rebuild all of those aspects, towards a path of peace and foundational happiness.

Shohreh Schmuecker
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Divorce can bring a wave of emotions such as grief, anger, relief, loneliness, and uncertainty. It is a deeply personal experience that can shake your sense of identity and leave you wondering how to move forward.
As a compassionate and experienced counselor, I provide a supportive space to help you process what you are feeling, rediscover your sense of self, and begin to rebuild a life that feels meaningful and grounded. Whether you are coping with the end of a long relationship or adjusting to new routines, you do not have to do it alone.
This may be a time of great change, but it can also be the beginning of something more authentic and empowering. In session, we will explore and process your feelings and emotions around the divorce or separation. My intention is creating a safe space to allow you room to explore your complex feelings and to honor your specific experience.

Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Dealing with divorce is a difficult and sometimes devastating experience. I help clients challenged by the legal system as they face the divorce process itself and by the psychological difficulties they have to master. I have been studying guilt and self-blame for 30 years as a researcher, teacher, and clinician. Divorce is often accompanied by overwhelming feelings of guilt. Working collaboratively with my clients, using self-compassion and mindfulness, helps to reduce the suffering guilt causes them and allows them to move forward with greater optimism.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Divorce sucks. Many experience anxiety, depression, fear, anger, shame, guilt, and loneliness. There are also financial negotiations, custody battles, and disappointments. With each stage of divorce, comes a new wave of emotional and mental stress.For some people, the divorce may come as a complete surprise and blow to one’s self esteem. Other’s choose to leave because they are dissatisfied. In both cases, there is a pervasive lack of cultural support as divorce is universally seen as something negative. Friends and family may judge the couple for “not trying hard enough”and people are quick to blame one or both partners for possessing relational flaws. As you deal with the loss of your marriage and the stigma it comes with, you may also feel you have lost yourself along the way.
Therapy not only provides a space to grieve and work through some of the emotional complexities, it is also a space where you gain insight into yourself and how you show up in relationships so you can do things differently.

David Gumpert

Divorce can be an extremely difficult and painful process, especially when children are involved. I can support you in both sitting with the loss of the life you imagined you would have while also looking at ways to empower you during this transition. I approach all of this with the utmost sensitivity.
