Using pre and post-divorce therapy aimed at helping individuals cope with the emotional challenges and transitions associated with divorce or separation. Therapists work with clients to address a range of issues, including grief, anger, guilt, co-parenting concerns, and adjusting to life as a single person. The goals include processing and coming to terms with the end of the relationship, developing effective coping strategies for managing difficult emotions, improving communication with former partners or co-parents, and rebuilding self-esteem and confidence.

Rebecca Castle-Waller
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you and your partner considering divorce? Perhaps one of you wants to work it out and the other is ready to end things. If you're in this spot and you want to make sure, really make sure, you're making the right choice, then Discernment Counseling might be a good fit for you.
In Discernment Counseling I work with both partners as we explore three potential paths for the relationship: 1. Divorce, 2. Keep things as they are, 3. 6 months of intense couples therapy with each person having identified how they've contributed to the relationship's deterioration and how they want to change. My goal isn't for you to pick a particular path, but for you to be even more confident in wherever you land. Unsure about the future of your relationship? Specialty, short term therapy can help you and your partner build clarity.

Divorce
Lisa Panelo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, LCSW, CTMH
Divorce can shake the very foundation of your life - leaving you with grief, confusion, or questions about what comes next. Therapy provides a steady space to process the loss, rebuild your confidence, and begin creating a future that feels meaningful again. You don’t have to face this transition alone.

Chesapeake is the largest city in Virginia by land area — a mostly suburban and semi-rural community spread across the southern Hampton Roads region — with a therapy landscape shaped by its proximity to Naval Station Norfolk and the broader military community, as well as the particular stresses of a sprawling suburb where long commutes and limited walkable community can contribute to social isolation. The city's large African American population and its place within Hampton Roads' racially complex social fabric create demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Chesapeake Regional Medical Center provides institutional mental health resources alongside the broader Hampton Roads healthcare ecosystem. Many Chesapeake residents access therapy through the wider Norfolk-Virginia Beach metro, given the city's geographic extent and integration with the regional mental health network.
