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.
