Divorce
Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
Not every couple I see is trying to stay together. Some are unsure, one partner may be leaning out while the other wants to fight for the marriage, and some have already decided to separate. I help couples get clear about what they want, and when divorce is the path, I help them move through it with less damage, especially when children are involved. For individuals, I offer support through the grief, identity shifts, and practical upheaval that come with ending a marriage.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions, affecting not only partners but also children, extended family, and the entire sense of home and stability. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that accompany divorce — before, during, and after the process.
My work focuses on emotional stabilization, clear communication, boundary setting, and healthy co-parenting. For individuals, therapy provides a supportive space to process grief, anger, and loss while rebuilding identity and confidence. For parents, I help create a framework for cooperative parenting that prioritizes children’s emotional well-being and minimizes conflict.
When appropriate, I also provide family or joint sessions to support smoother transitions, improve communication, and establish respectful new family structures. Using cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, we work together to reduce emotional reactivity, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build strategies for resilience and forward movement.
My goal is to help clients move from chaos and hurt toward clarity, self-understanding, and peace, so they can begin the next chapter of their lives with strength and purpose.

Tara Leigh Thomsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, CPC
Divorce is considered to be an immense stressor on everyone involved. In addition it causes a type of grief while you mourn for what you thought your future would look like. Divorce also brings out traits that we never expected to see in ourselves or our ex-spouse. Discussing these major life changes in therapy can give you back your power over yourself and your future!

MJB Wellness LLC
Hypnotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach, Certified Sexological Bodyworker, Sex Educator, Certified Reiki
While I don't specifically advertise as working with divorce, I do work with issues that often end in divorce and have done a number of workshops and online talks around couples and communication. In fact, for therapist who work with couples, the number 11 issue is lack of communication. Again, understanding consent, boundaries, and relationship dynamics is key to resolving couples issues. I trained in a protocol called Couple's Hypnosis where I hypnotize a couple together, take them to a place of complete honesty, openness, and lack of judgement and then pose a series of questions to each in turn to get the truth of their feelings around certain issues. If the couple has the willingness and courage to engage in this exploration it can lead to amazing insight in healing. Unfortunately, many clients don't have the courage to embrace honesty. I also see many clients post breakup and divorce who can't get past the loss of their partner and continue to obsess and mourn longer than is healthy. For these clients I am able to use hypnosis to break the hold their ex has on them and help them move on.
