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.

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.

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.

Whether amicable or conflictual, one sided or mutual, divorce is a loss and a major identity shift that needs to be mourned and processed.

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.

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.
