Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience working with clients who are going through separation or divorce. I also have worked extensively with children and adolescents whose parents are separating. Many family members in this situation find it extremely helpful to work with a therapist in order to help them navigate as best they can this stressful and distressing process. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If you’re going through a divorce—or even considering one—you may feel overwhelmed, uncertain, and emotionally drained. You might be dealing with conflict, grief, anger, or fear about what comes next. At the same time, you’re trying to make important decisions, manage daily responsibilities, and possibly navigate co-parenting, all while your emotional foundation feels shaken.
I help clients move through divorce with greater clarity, stability, and emotional control. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to manage the thoughts that fuel anxiety, anger, or self-doubt so you can think more clearly and make sound decisions. With clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), and NLP, we address the deeper emotional responses—helping you reduce reactivity, process loss, and regain a sense of internal balance. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you stay grounded in your values, so your decisions reflect who you want to be moving forward, not just how you feel in the moment.

Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
I support individuals navigating the emotional challenges of divorce, separation, and breakups, helping them process grief, rebuild self-confidence, and create a new path forward. Divorce/breakups can bring up feelings of loss, uncertainty, and even relief—all of which are valid. My approach provides a compassionate space to process emotions, set healthy boundaries, and regain a sense of stability. Through mindfulness, emotional healing, and practical coping strategies, I help clients move through this transition with clarity and resilience. I especially focus on helping people who are leaving relationships where infidelity, manipulation, control, and gaslighting were factors in their decision to leave.
