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.

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.

Using pre and post-divorce therapy aimed at helping individuals cope with the emotional challenges and transitions associated with divorce or separation.

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.

In-Person Near Virginia Beach, VA
Online in Virginia Beach, VA Virginia
Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Healthcare and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
