Divorce
Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Divorce can be a disorienting experience, often bringing a mix of grief, relief, uncertainty, and change. It can reshape your sense of identity, relationships, and the future you once imagined. We will make space to process what you’re going through, work through the complexities of the transition, and begin to rebuild in a way that feels true to you.

Divorce
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.

Divorce
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.
