Divorce
Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples Therapy, Affair & Betrayal Recovery, Certified Sex Therapy, Certified Discernment Counselor
When divorce enters the conversation, couples often feel pressure to make life-changing decisions while experiencing fear, anger, grief, and uncertainty. My role is to slow the process down, reduce unnecessary escalation, and help both partners make more thoughtful decisions about what comes next.
As a Certified Discernment Counselor, I offer a structured process when one partner is leaning out of the relationship while the other is leaning in. Couples may ultimately choose a committed period of Couples Therapy, a purposeful Healing Separation, or divorce.
When divorce is the chosen path, I provide Non-Adversarial Divorce Support to help partners communicate with greater clarity and dignity. I have completed specialized training through the Connecticut Council for Non-Adversarial Divorce in mediation, collaborative divorce, and the non-adversarial divorce process. Within that process, I serve as a specialized mental health professional, helping divorcing partners manage the emotional and behavioral aspects of divorce, reduce destructive conflict, and communicate more productively. My work is child-focused, helping parents remain mindful of how their decisions and interactions may affect their children while keeping children out of adult conflict.
With written authorization from both partners, I may coordinate with their divorce professionals. These sessions are therapeutic and educational and do NOT include co-parenting counseling, legal advice, or legally binding agreements.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Divorce can be traumatic for everyone in the family especially if there is high-conflict. When children are involved, it is imperative to seek help to minimize the negative impact on everyone in the family. Therapy and/or a parenting coordinator can help navigate this difficult transition to a new normal.

Bridgeport is Connecticut's largest city and one of the starkest examples of urban poverty in one of America's wealthiest states, with high rates of crime, poverty, and persistent economic inequality that create significant and underserved mental health need across the population. The city's majority Black and Latino communities have been most affected by decades of deindustrialization and disinvestment, and access to the quality mental health care available in wealthier Connecticut communities remains difficult for many Bridgeport residents. Bridgeport Hospital, part of Yale New Haven Health, provides behavioral health services, and community mental health centers offer some publicly funded care. Common therapy concerns include trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship stress, and the chronic psychological toll of living in a community where economic precarity is widespread and systemic barriers to well-being are persistent.
