Divorce
Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Dealing with divorce is a difficult and sometimes devastating experience. I help clients challenged by the legal system as they face the divorce process itself and by the psychological difficulties they have to master. I have been studying guilt and self-blame for 30 years as a researcher, teacher, and clinician. Divorce is often accompanied by overwhelming feelings of guilt. Working collaboratively with my clients, using self-compassion and mindfulness, helps to reduce the suffering guilt causes them and allows them to move forward with greater optimism.

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.

Brad Byrum
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MBA, LMFT
As a relationship therapist, I know that sometimes relationships end. Sometimes they need to end. Sometimes both partners know this. Sometimes one partner knows it and the other wishes it weren’t true. Sometimes both partners wish it weren’t true and yet it is.
I work with individuals and couples who are living through an uncoupling. This can be a traumatic experience of grief, shame, anger, resentment, confusion and betrayal. I offer a way of working through the process of uncoupling in which we seek to make peace where peace is possible, healing what can be healed, and accepting the ending of a relationship.

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.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting couples and families navigating the complex emotional landscape of divorce. My aim is to facilitate healthy communication, foster understanding, and encourage the necessary resilience during this challenging time. It's important to remember that while divorce marks the end of a marital relationship, it doesn't have to signify the collapse of a family structure. With appropriate therapeutic guidance, the process can lead to personal growth, emotional healing, and healthier relationships moving forward. My goal is to provide a safe space where each individual can express their feelings, concerns, and hopes for the future. Let's work together to minimize conflict and prioritize the wellbeing of everyone involved, particularly when children are part of the equation.

San Francisco's extreme housing costs and the psychological toll of the tech industry — characterized by intense performance pressure, rapid layoff cycles, and boom-bust uncertainty — have made burnout, anxiety, and economic grief among the most common presenting concerns. The city has a historically significant LGBTQ+ community, and affirming therapists specializing in gender identity, queer relationships, and HIV-related concerns remain an important part of the local therapy landscape. UCSF Health provides world-class institutional mental health resources, while the city's dense network of independent practitioners reflects a culture that has long embraced therapy as a normal and valued part of life. Telehealth has expanded access significantly for Bay Area residents commuting from Oakland, the East Bay, and the Peninsula.
