Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Nobody likes divorce. It's never easy. However, I'd love to make it easier for you. Whether it's your parents who are splitting up or if it's your own marriage dissolving, I'd love to help you through the transition. It's true that I do a lot of marriage counseling, and I do love helping couples work things out. However, I also know that staying married isn’t always the best option for every couple. And in those cases, I am more than happy to help you find a path through to the other side.

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.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Divorce is more than a legal process—it’s a major life transition that can impact your identity, your relationships, your routines, and your sense of stability. Even when it’s the right decision, it can bring up grief, anger, guilt, relief, and uncertainty all at once. For many people, there are added layers—co-parenting, financial stress, family dynamics, or cultural and religious expectations about marriage and separation. It’s a lot to hold, especially when you’re also trying to figure out what comes next.
At Nour Counseling, we support you through both the emotional and practical sides of this transition. We help you process what you’re leaving behind while also getting clearer about what you want moving forward. This might include navigating communication with a former partner, setting boundaries, supporting children through the transition, or rebuilding a sense of self outside of the relationship. We also make space for the cultural and systemic factors that shape how divorce is experienced and perceived, so you’re not carrying that alone. This work is about helping you move through this chapter with more clarity, steadiness, and a stronger connection to yourself.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
I take a compassionate and supportive approach to help indiviudals navigate the complex emotions involved in the process of a divorce. Using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I assist clients in managing overwhelming feelings, reframing negative thoughts, and developing effective coping strategies. My approach is collaborative, meaning I work closely with clients to set goals that align with their values and needs, fostering a sense of agency and empowerment. For those with children, I place a strong emphasis on maintaining a stable and supportive environment for the family. I guide parents in addressing their children’s emotional needs while managing their own, using techniques from family systems theory to improve communication and co-parenting. By combining empathy with practical strategies, I help clients work through their emotions and focus on creating a positive and constructive path forward for themselves and their families.
