Divorce
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Not all divorce is the same. Divorcing a narcissistic or emotionally abusive partner is a category of its own — one that the legal system, most therapists, and most of your well-meaning friends are not equipped to understand. The gaslighting doesn't stop when the papers are filed. The coercive control often escalates through the divorce process, weaponizing the children, the finances, and the court system itself. Post-separation abuse is real, it is documented, and it requires a therapist who has both the clinical training and the specific knowledge to help you navigate it. I am a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience specializing in high-conflict divorce, post-separation abuse, and the psychological impact of divorcing a narcissistic or emotionally abusive ex-partner. I work with mothers across PSYPACT states via telehealth, providing trauma-informed therapy and practical support for every stage of the divorce process — from the initial decision to leave through rebuilding your life after the legal battle ends.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Divorce can be traumatic for everyone in the family especially if there is high-conflict. When children are involved, it is imperative to seek help to minimize the negative impact on everyone in the family. Therapy and/or a parenting coordinator can help navigate this difficult transition to a new normal.

Divorce
Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
Divorce is not just the dissolution of a marriage; it is a profound restructuring of the family system, particularly when navigating toxic relational patterns and the impacts of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) abuse. Parents who are concerned about their children's well-being during this challenging process often seek guidance to ensure a healthier transition for their entire family.
As a therapist specializing in these dynamics, I help families understand and traverse the stages of grief that accompany divorce, acknowledging both the emotional turmoil and the opportunity for growth. Research shows that children thrive when parents prioritize their needs and cultivate a cooperative perspective on co-parenting.
Through Family Restructuring Therapy, I support all members of the family system in establishing new, functional ways of relating to one another. Together, we will work towards effective communication, healing from past trauma, and creating a nurturing environment where children can flourish. By focusing on the best interests of your children and fostering resilience, we can transform this transition into a path toward healthier relationships and a brighter future.
