Divorce
Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Are you contemplating divorce? Have you and your partner already made the decision? We all think about leaving our current relationship. The grass always seems greener, and sometimes it really is. Good couples therapy never promises to save relationships! Instead, it helps both partners explore the depths of the relationship, so they are able to make clear and honest decisions about what to do next. I have had many couples enter my practice on the brink of divorce, only to find that some simple new tools for communication, intimacy, forgiveness, and shared purpose can bring them back together. Of course, sometimes divorce is the best option. Some relationships are not meant to last. And that's ok! That is not a failure, that is growth. Therapy can help with the process of leaving a relationship in a way that honors both of you, that sets you up to be good friends, with respect and care.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
Mourning the end of a committed relationship is never easy. Accepting and even celebrating the ways in which the relationship influenced the person you are today can be the first step of evolving into your new autonomous self. Divorce can feel like a death and can also serve as a rebirth. Learning tools to support you through the process can make all the difference.

Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Endings are hard no matter what. The pain is sometimes so great that you feel you have no choice but to aggress and blame. The lawyers will encourage this - they get paid more the more you do it. Trouble is that you had SOMETHING to do with the way things are happening, and your own personal health and growth depend on taking responsibility for what its yours as well as knowing what is not.
