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.

I give every tool I have to couples to try to prevent divorce, but some people come to me after things are already in motion. Divorce can be extremely painful and disruptive and lead to depression and anxiety due to all of the changes... I can help you get things on the right path so your self-care becomes more important than anything else, allowing you to steer your own ship to recovery.

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.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Heroic courage and perseverance is required to get through the darkest parts of divorce, to finally re-establish a life that is full. Isolation and lack of support can make it even harder. The support of a skilled, experienced therapist can be a game changer in helping you get through the hardest parts. It is possible to recover from a difficult chapter of your life and go on to experience the best chapters yet. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in helping you manage and circumnavigate old unhelpful patterns, anger, trauma and pain, and helping you to reclaim the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Oakland has a politically engaged, social-justice-oriented community where many therapists approach their work through an anti-oppression lens, specializing in racial trauma, activist burnout, and healing within BIPOC communities. The city's proximity to San Francisco means therapists here frequently work with the compounding stresses of the Bay Area housing crisis, economic displacement, and the grief of gentrification. Oakland has strong LGBTQ+ and creative communities, with demand for affirming therapists who work at the intersection of identity, community belonging, and personal well-being. Highland Hospital and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland provide institutional anchors alongside a network of independent practitioners.
