Divorce
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.

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.

Divorce is one of the most life changing thing to go through. People have so many mixed feelings: anger, sadness, grief, confusion. I have helped many people learn to care for themselves by being patient with the time it takes to recover and to set new healthy goals in life.
