Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Divorce sucks. Many experience anxiety, depression, fear, anger, shame, guilt, and loneliness. 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.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Relationships are difficult. Ending relationships, no matter the circumstances, can be very hard. I am the product of a messy divorce and watched my mom struggle afterwards. I am also divorced and the experience can leave you feeling defeated, overwhelmed, lost, and maybe even empowered without knowing what to do next. With Dr. Chad, we will explore your experience and help you find your path again.

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.

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.
