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.

Shoreline Psychological

Divorce is a major life transition that can bring emotional upheaval, uncertainty, and a shift in identity. Whether you’re navigating the decision to separate, going through the legal process, or adjusting to life after divorce, therapy can provide the support and guidance you need.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
My specialization is in marriage & family therapy which means, inevitably, I also have extensive experience working with divorce, blended families and post divorce challenges. I have completed mediation training to better understand the types of issues the divorce process poses for couples and to help them understand what they can expect. I have trained in collaborative divorce through the MN Collaborative Divorce Alliance.
For those couples with a mixed agenda (one couple would like the marriage to persist and the other partner is unsure whether they have the energy or the will to continue to work on it), I am certified in discernment counseling. Discernment counseling is essentially decision making therapy, meant to be completed in 5 sessions or less, to determine if the next steps would be separation/divorce or committing to at least 6 months of "all in" couples therapy to determine what is possible.

Stamford is Connecticut's most economically dynamic city and a major center for hedge funds, financial services, and media companies, with a population that is more diverse than its wealthy reputation might suggest—including significant Black, Latino, and immigrant communities alongside the finance professionals who define the city's public image. The high-pressure finance and media industry culture creates substantial mental health demand around burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the relational difficulties that come with demanding careers and high financial expectations. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Stamford's affluent professional class, while community health organizations address the mental health needs of lower-income residents in parts of the city that are far less prosperous than the downtown core. Common therapy concerns range from anxiety and burnout at the top of the economic spectrum to trauma, economic stress, and access barriers at the bottom, reflecting a city of pronounced contrasts.
