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.

Whether you are looking to see if you should stay married (discernment counseling) or how to accept divorce you might be seeking pre divorce counseling or separation counseling. A new term that is being used is conscious uncoupling or how to break up therapy. Post-divorce counseling helps resolve guilt after divorce or if children are involved might include coparenting.

Claire Babbitt, LMFT, JD
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, J.D.
The divorce process can be extremely stressful and confusing. I meet with individuals and couples to help design strategies and techniques to move through the process with less anger and discord. I also meet with children and adolescents who are struggling with divorce in their family, so that they may have less fear and guilt.
