Painful transitions such as divorce are a time where greater support is needed to process the feelings and make sense of what is happening.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Although I do not work with couples, I do work frequently with people adjusting to life during and after a divorce. It can feel like a failure or the death of a dream of the perfect, intact family. Sometimes it is hard to picture a new normal so coming up with new identity and plans for the future is helpful. Working with an ex partner to co-parent can bring even more challenges but there are ways to help reduce conflict and mange the new life well.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
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.

Reina Peterson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT, Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
In therapy for breakups, divorce and other painful interpersonal loss, I provide a supportive space for individuals navigating the complex emotions and challenges associated with the dissolution of a foundational relationship. Here, clients can process their grief, anger, and uncertainty, while also focusing on practical strategies for self-soothing and constructing a healed future.

Brad Byrum
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MBA, LMFT
As a relationship therapist, I know that sometimes relationships end. Sometimes they need to end. Sometimes both partners know this. Sometimes one partner knows it and the other wishes it weren’t true. Sometimes both partners wish it weren’t true and yet it is.
I work with individuals and couples who are living through an uncoupling. This can be a traumatic experience of grief, shame, anger, resentment, confusion and betrayal. I offer a way of working through the process of uncoupling in which we seek to make peace where peace is possible, healing what can be healed, and accepting the ending of a relationship.

David J. Kest

My mentor Harville Hendrix PHD author of Getting the Love You Want is quoted as saying
“ Incompatibility is grounds for Marriage!” What he meant is that couples recycle their family of Origin issues once they replicate family Together but unconsciously they are seeking a corrective experience From their partner. ( not reinjury). . I was certified in Imago Relationship Therapy imyself in 2010, which gives couples the tools to have safe conversations to work out their differences and the triggers that eventually happen in all long term committed relationships This work is my passion!

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.
