Divorce
Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Divorce is one of the most disorienting experiences a person can go through. Even when it is the right decision, it brings a kind of loss that touches nearly every part of your life at once: your identity, your daily routine, your finances, your relationship with your children, and your sense of what comes next. For men especially, that process often happens without much support or space to actually work through it.
The pressure to move on quickly, stay strong, and figure it out alone is real. So is the grief, the anger, the uncertainty, and the self-doubt that tend to come with it. Avoiding those things does not make them go away. It usually just delays the work and makes the next chapter harder to build.
In therapy, we create space to process what you are going through without getting stuck in it. That means working through the emotional weight of the transition while also developing a clear picture of where you want to go and what it will take to get there. We address co-parenting stress, identity shifts, communication challenges, and the practical decisions that feel impossible to make when you are in the middle of everything.
My approach is direct and forward focused. The goal is not just to survive the transition but to come out of it with more clarity, stability, and confidence than you had going in.
If you are navigating a divorce and ready for honest support, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Divorce
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions, affecting not only partners but also children, extended family, and the entire sense of home and stability. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that accompany divorce — before, during, and after the process.
My work focuses on emotional stabilization, clear communication, boundary setting, and healthy co-parenting. For individuals, therapy provides a supportive space to process grief, anger, and loss while rebuilding identity and confidence. For parents, I help create a framework for cooperative parenting that prioritizes children’s emotional well-being and minimizes conflict.
When appropriate, I also provide family or joint sessions to support smoother transitions, improve communication, and establish respectful new family structures. Using cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, we work together to reduce emotional reactivity, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build strategies for resilience and forward movement.
My goal is to help clients move from chaos and hurt toward clarity, self-understanding, and peace, so they can begin the next chapter of their lives with strength and purpose.
