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.

Divorce: Navigating the Systemic Shift
Untangling the Past, Architecting the Future
Divorce is one of the most significant "life transitions" a human can experience. It is rarely just the end of a legal contract; it is a profound restructuring of your identity, your family system, and your future. In my practice, I provide a courageous and neutral space to navigate the overwhelm of uncoupling with dignity, curiosity, and emotional intelligence.
Honoring the Complexity of the Split
Whether you are in the initial stages of discernment or are navigating the aftermath of a finalized decree, we address the layers of the transition:
The Grief Cycle: Moving through the shock, anger, and deep sorrow of the "death" of a shared dream.
Co-Parenting Systems: Using Systems Theory to build a functional, healthy bridge between two homes, ensuring that the children’s needs remain central during the shift.
Identity Re-Formation: Answering the question, "Who am I outside of this 'we'?" and rediscovering your agency and voice.
A Clinical Approach to Uncoupling
With over 20 years of experience, I support individuals and couples through the various stages of divorce:
Discernment Counseling: A specialized space for couples who are "on the brink"—helping you decide with clarity whether to commit to repair or to begin the process of uncoupling.
EFT & Attachment Repair: Even in divorce, understanding your attachment styles can prevent "high-conflict" cycles and help you move through the process without further trauma.
Spiritual Deconstruction & Divorce: For those in religious or spiritual communities, divorce can bring a secondary layer of spiritual trauma or disillusionment. My background (M.Div/PhD) allows us to hold these spiritual questions alongside the clinical ones.
Transitioning with Integrity
I have a "special love" for working with high-profile "healers"—pastors and therapists—navigating divorce. I understand the unique pressure of maintaining a professional "helping" role while your personal system is in flux.
Divorce does not have to be a story of destruction. It can be a story of evolution, boundary-setting, and the courageous pursuit of a more authentic life.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in divorce, my approach to treatment is focused on providing emotional support, guidance, and coping strategies during this challenging life transition. Through a combination of individual therapy, support groups, and family therapy, I help individuals navigate the complex emotions associated with divorce, such as grief, anger, and anxiety. We work together to explore and process feelings of loss, adjust to new roles and routines, and develop effective communication skills for co-parenting or managing post-divorce relationships. Additionally, I provide psychoeducation on the divorce process, legal considerations, and strategies for self-care to promote resilience and facilitate healing. By offering a safe and empathetic space, I aim to empower individuals to navigate divorce with strength, self-awareness, and a sense of hope for the future.

Fayetteville is home to Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg) — one of the largest Army installations in the world — making it one of the most military-oriented cities in the United States, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty soldiers, veterans, and military families. Therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, moral injury, combat-related grief, and the dynamics of repeated deployment and reintegration are exceptionally well represented, and many practices are built specifically around the military community. Cape Fear Valley Health provides institutional mental health resources alongside a VA medical center that serves the surrounding region. Fayetteville's civilian therapy community serves a population that also navigates the economic and social challenges of a city heavily dependent on military spending and vulnerable to base realignment decisions.
