Divorce, Conscious Uncoupling & Co-Parenting
Navigating Life's Greatest Transition with Purpose and Dignity
Divorce is among the most profound life transitions an individual or family can undergo. Whether you are contemplating exiting a marriage, navigating an active separation, or rebuilding your life post-divorce, the process demands emotional resilience, strategic clarity, and clear-headed decision-making during a time of intense personal stress.
My work in this area is designed to help you navigate the complex emotional, relational, and logistical dimensions of uncoupling—transforming what is often a chaotic process into a thoughtful, intentional transition.
A Rare Blend of Clinical, Forensic, and Lived Experience
Few therapists bring the breadth of perspective to divorce care that I offer. My approach is informed by three distinct pillars:
Forensic & High-Conflict Expertise: Having served as a court-employed Child Custody Evaluator, I have deep insight into the legal, structural, and psychological dynamics of high-conflict family transitions. I understand how family court systems evaluate child wellness, allowing us to proactively protect your children’s best interests.
Clinical Depth: Over decades of practice, I have guided countless adults, adolescents, and couples through every stage of divorce, custody negotiations, and post-divorce adjustment.
Lived Personal Understanding: Having experienced divorce both as a child and later as an adult co-parenting two young daughters, I hold deep empathy for the emotional realities of uncoupling. I know firsthand the profound value of approaching divorce thoughtfully rather than reactively.
Flexible Modalities Tailored to Your Needs
Because every family dynamic is unique, I offer several collaborative structures depending on where you are in the process:
Individual Divorce Coaching & Support: Serving as a confidential, strategic sounding board for one partner—helping you process grief, regulate nervous system stress, communicate effectively, and make clear decisions aligned with your long-term well-being.
Conscious Uncoupling & Mediation Coaching: Working collaboratively with both partners to facilitate an amicable, respectful separation that minimizes legal friction, protects financial and emotional assets, and preserves mutual dignity.
Co-Parenting Alignment & Parent-Child Reunification: Establishing functional, low-conflict co-parenting frameworks, creating clear boundaries, and helping heal or re-establish strong relationships between parents and children following a separation.
Post-Divorce Reconstruction & Redating: Guiding adults through the post-divorce landscape—helping you rebuild identity, re-enter the dating world thoughtfully, and integrate new relationships into established co-parenting structures.
Whether you are seeking to exit a marriage gracefully, protect your children from high conflict, or rebuild an authentic life after divorce, our work provides the strategic clarity and emotional grounding needed to move forward with confidence.

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.

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.

LAH Therapy Services
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., LMFT, CAS, EMDR-2
First looking at divorce as an option is where couples might start. If divorces is what is chosen by one or both people I will continue working with them together or most often that is when I will work with one of the individuals while the other one will seek their own therapist. If the couple can or wants to reconcile, I will continue working with them both.
