Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC)
I have walked through the process of divorce with several clients and have aided them in their grief and despair in losing such an important relationship.
As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.
Divorce is a significant life event which often involves mourning the loss of the relationship and difficulty navigating the relationship post-divorce if there's children involved. Oftentimes, couples continue counseling after deciding to divorce, to allow for a smoother transition for everyone.
Leaving a relationship is a difficult decision. In therapy, we can explore the decision to leave or stay. We can process the feelings of loss and failure that can accompany the end of a relationship. Finally, we can reflect on the experience and find meaning in the process. This will allow you to identify what you need and want for your future and build a life that is congruent with the individual that you've become.
Does this sound familiar? You’re an ambitious woman who felt like she had it all: the career for which you worked so hard, a dream home, and an extremely fulfilling marriage. That is, until the day when your world changed forever and you knew the marriage was ending. In that moment, you fully understood the meaning of a broken heart. It’s been hard for you to work through the aftermath of the divorce on your own. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from the deep emotional pain that often comes with a divorce. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.
