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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Divorce can be both devastating and clarifying. I provide steady support as you navigate grief, identity shifts, co-parenting challenges, and the reimagining of your next chapter, and grieving the past one.

Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Although I do not work with couples, I do work frequently with people adjusting to life during and after a divorce. It can feel like a failure or the death of a dream of the perfect, intact family. Sometimes it is hard to picture a new normal so coming up with new identity and plans for the future is helpful. Working with an ex partner to co-parent can bring even more challenges but there are ways to help reduce conflict and mange the new life well.

Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
When relationships break up a great deal of distress ensues. Having lived through this distress myself, and having accompanied many people as they go through it, I support people to discover an expanded sense of themselves beyond the breakup: it can feel like the end of the world at the time. But, it is an opening to a new and different life, and being closely accompanied as you discover this is a blessing.
