Divorce
Juliette Grantham
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
I'm Juliette Grantham, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist specializing in divorce.
Divorce and separation rarely produce one clean feeling. Grief, anger, relief, guilt, and disorientation can arrive in the same afternoon, and the version of the future you had assumed is gone whether or not you wanted the marriage to end. You may be sorting out who you are without a role you occupied for years, managing co-parenting with someone you are still angry at, or second-guessing a decision that is already made.
I work psychoanalytically, which means we look beyond logistics to what the marriage meant and what its ending has disturbed. The feelings that surface carry an unconscious logic worth understanding, and they often reach back well before this relationship. In sessions there is room for all of it, including the parts that do not sound acceptable to say out loud.
If you are moving through a divorce or its aftermath, I would be glad to talk.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
There are points in a relationship when going your separate ways becomes the best option. But how do you know the best way to get through such a mess? Everyone has seen a couple suffer through an acrimonious divorce, and it’s clear no one wins. People often don’t think about couples or individual therapy because they are leaving the relationship, but that turns out to be a major oversight. Trying to understand one another in the process of divorce can alleviate deep hurts and circumvent major pitfalls in the process of ending the relationship.
Divorcing can often mean dividing assets and agreeing to custody solutions. This process can be excruciating for both parties. Even if you might feel a deep rage toward your partner, allowing each person to openly discuss their desires in a safe environment can be both refreshing and illuminating, cutting through the unimportant dribble to what really matters: moving on with your life in a way that allows each person to thrive. You can trust us to be sensitive to the deep pain of this situation and to carefully hold each person’s subjectivity in order to see you through to the other side.
If it feels as though you can’t be in the same room with your ex partner, we offer individual therapy for either or both people to work through the pain and even logistics of such an enormous life change.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who are going through separation or divorce. I also have worked extensively with children and adolescents whose parents are separating. Many family members in this situation find it extremely helpful to work with a therapist in order to help them navigate as best they can this stressful and distressing process. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Whether you initiated it or it blindsided you, divorce reshapes everything. Your daily routines, your finances, your sense of who you are and what your future looks like. There's grief even when it's the right decision. There's anger and relief and guilt sometimes all in the same hour. And if there are kids involved, you're trying to hold yourself together while helping them through their own pain. We provide support during this transition, helping you process the loss, navigate co-parenting challenges, and rebuild a life that feels like yours again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

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.
