Nancie Kohlenberger
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Divorce: Sometimes when things are not working out with a marital partner, and people have grown apart, divorce seems like the best option. My goal in these cases is to get the two people involved to hear and respect each other so that things don't devolve into an impasse.

My mentor Harville Hendrix PHD author of Getting the Love You Want is quoted as saying
“ Incompatibility is grounds for Marriage!” What he meant is that couples recycle their family of Origin issues once they replicate family Together but unconsciously they are seeking a corrective experience From their partner. ( not reinjury). . I was certified in Imago Relationship Therapy imyself in 2010, which gives couples the tools to have safe conversations to work out their differences and the triggers that eventually happen in all long term committed relationships This work is my passion!

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
Mourning the end of a committed relationship is never easy. Accepting and even celebrating the ways in which the relationship influenced the person you are today can be the first step of evolving into your new autonomous self. Divorce can feel like a death and can also serve as a rebirth. Learning tools to support you through the process can make all the difference.

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.
