Dr. Adam Shafer (Chicago, IL)
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Divorce and separation can be (and usually is) a very difficult experience that can take its toll on the family being affected. There are ways, however, to minimize the emotional damage and work toward resolution so that the healing process can begin.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals processing divorce, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment for them to navigate the emotional and practical aspects of the process. Through therapy, we work together to explore and validate their feelings of grief, anger, sadness, or relief. I offer coping strategies and tools to manage the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, including mindfulness techniques, journaling, and self-care practices. Additionally, we address practical concerns such as legal proceedings, financial adjustments, and co-parenting arrangements, helping them feel empowered and prepared for the next steps. I also provide a supportive space for individuals to reflect on their experiences, gain clarity, and envision a positive future beyond divorce. My goal is to help them heal from the pain of separation, rebuild their lives with resilience and optimism, and navigate the transition to a new chapter with confidence and strength.

Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Divorce can be one of life’s most emotionally challenging transitions, filled with grief, confusion, and uncertainty about the future. As a couples therapist, I support partners in strengthening their connection—but when divorce becomes the healthiest path, I also help couples navigate the process with clarity, compassion, and respect. I provide a supportive space to process the emotional impact, navigate the practical challenges, and rebuild a sense of identity and stability. Whether you’re in the midst of a separation or healing from its aftermath, I’ll help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and emotional resilience.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Divorce is a deeply personal experience, and no two divorces look the same. I support individuals and families in understanding how this transition is impacting them emotionally and relationally, so they can move through it with intention rather than reactivity. I specialize in working with people navigating high-conflict divorce, separation, and co-parenting, as well as supporting couples and families through repair, restructuring, and the long-term adjustments that follow.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes the emotional wounds and injuries in a relationship are too large and/or painful to continue to endure and we need help to transition out. I've helped many clients communicate about their emotions and grief (even while guiding them through trial/physical separation and divorce). Change is painfully difficult, you don't need to navigate that alone.
