Jennifer Cain
Psychologist, Ph.D.
It has been said that divorce is more painful in some ways than losing a loved one to death because there is no finality. If you have recently come through a divorce, the adjustments and grieving and anger can be overwhelming. I come alongside you with compassionate support to help you find a safe space to process emotions and adjust to the changes in your life. It is possible to feel better, and the right support can make the process easier.

Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Endings are hard no matter what. The pain is sometimes so great that you feel you have no choice but to aggress and blame. The lawyers will encourage this - they get paid more the more you do it. Trouble is that you had SOMETHING to do with the way things are happening, and your own personal health and growth depend on taking responsibility for what its yours as well as knowing what is not.

Dr. Lindsay Perrin
Psychologist, Ph.D.
The end of a relationship—whether through a breakup or divorce—can be one of life's most painful and disorienting experiences. It's common to feel a mix of grief, uncertainty, loneliness, and questions about what comes next. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate space where you can process the emotional impact of the loss, navigate the practical challenges of this transition, and begin moving forward with greater clarity, resilience, and confidence.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Are you feeling like a jumbled mass of goo? Did you know that as the caterpillar transforms in the chrysalis, it totally breaks down into a slurry of goo before reforming into the beautiful being that we call a butterfly? I have found that to be a powerful image in considering the process of transformational change, especially that of divorce. We tend to focus on the end result of the butterfly without acknowledging the hard work of the caterpillar and the messy work of the chrysalis. Holistic Life Coaching offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to examine and explore what's happening for you in this moment of transition and transformation. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past but on how to get you the life you want next. Our work will be to give you the space to become. A space for you to speak your truth fully without filter. A space to find your true voice today. A space to find your feet and your footing as you learn to walk forward as an unattached individual in your own power again. A space to decide and define what comes next.
