Jean Wolfe Powers
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T., International Life Coach, A.C.C.
The pain of divorce is devastating. Let’s catch the suffering and either work with your relationship to re-adjust to a feeling of wholeness or catch the grief of creating a new life after divorce. When working with a couple, I focus on healing through developing insight. I know this is difficult when you are facing many life struggles such as depression, addictions, affairs, grief, anxiety, and misaligned values. Through the vulnerability that comes up in therapy, healing is possible to an enormous degree.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Divorce can bring up a range of emotions, including grief, anger, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. I work with individuals to process these experiences, understand the relational patterns involved, and navigate the transition with greater clarity. Therapy can support rebuilding a sense of self and moving forward in a more intentional and grounded way.

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Divorce is always a devastating experience - regardless of how it comes about - because it involves the breaking of promises and the dashing of dreams - along with an entire cargo of unforeseen problems! It involves emotional highs and lows for both parties as well as for the children involved. A sensitive therapy experience can help calm the waters for all parties and bring stability to a fractured family.

The Mindful Life with Lori Kahn
Life Coach, Certified Integrative Coach, Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher
I have worked with many couples who are going through a divorce to help heal the divide both in one self and with the partner, so that in the end we have not waited until all the trauma and damage of the divorce process is over, but we commit to doing that work to heal during the divorce so when it is over we are ready to move forward with our own lives. I often work with both people during the divorce and have worked in concert with the divorce attorneys or mediators to help in decision making so it comes from a conscious place of awareness rather than the unconscious desire to punish, which is temporary and causes undue harm.

Melissa Berschauer
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Untangling a life together is incredibly heavy, and adjusting to the identity shift of a separation or divorce can feel entirely disorienting. If children are involved, navigating the tricky dynamics of co-parenting while trying to process your own grief adds a whole other layer of stress. I am here to help you protect your boundaries, process the painful endings, and build a healthy, practical roadmap for your new normal.
