Divorce
Sarah Gersick
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When confronting a divorce, the interplay of new distress and old patterns can make it hard to cope in a healthy way. It helps to have a place to talk through what is happening now while also working to understand how you got here, and what you want the future to look like. I am an experienced psychodynamic psychologist who can help you do all three, so you can get through the current crisis and make deep changes that lead to better coping in the future.

Divorce
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.

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.
