Divorce
Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
No two divorces are alike, every person who goes through the process experiences it differently. Some divorces are relatively amiable , while some are traumatic and high conflict. In every case, it is life changing. When children are involved, the stakes are higher and the potential for stress and anxiety is greater.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
Divorce, Post-Separation Abuse, and Parenting With a Narcissist
Divorce isn’t always just paperwork and moving on, especially when you’re leaving a toxic or narcissistic partner. It’s a battlefield that can include post-separation abuse, high-conflict divorce tactics, parental alienation, and navigating a family court system that often doesn’t understand covert emotional abuse.
If you’re Googling terms like:
“Parallel parenting with a narcissist”
“High-conflict divorce support for moms”
“Post-separation abuse signs”
“Gaslighting in family court”
“Co-parenting with a toxic ex”
“Surviving custody battles with a narcissist”
…you’re exactly who I work with.
I know firsthand how devastating and isolating this can feel. I’ve walked this path myself as a single mom. I understand the terror of sending your kids for visitation, the frustration of being disbelieved by the court, and the exhaustion of trying to protect your children while managing work, finances, and your own healing.
How I Help Women Through Toxic Divorces:
Education on post-separation abuse tactics so you’re not blindsided
Strategies for parallel parenting to minimize conflict and protect your kids
Emotional regulation tools for high-conflict custody negotiations
Boundary-setting skills to reduce manipulation and chaos
Trauma-informed therapy to heal gaslighting wounds and rebuild self-trust
Mind-body practices to manage burnout, anxiety, and chronic stress flare-ups
Coaching support to stay grounded, organized, and empowered in family court
With 25+ years as a licensed psychologist and certified coach, plus lived experience surviving a high-conflict divorce, I bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding. My clients often tell me it’s the first time they’ve felt seen and validated.
You’re not imagining the manipulation or the obstacles, you’re navigating one of the hardest experiences a woman can face. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll create a plan to protect your peace, support your kids, and reclaim your future.

Douglas LaBier, Ph.D.

I work with couples and individuals considering or pursuing divorce, with a focus on clarifying what brought the couple to this point; whether healing is possible; and if not, how to part in a mutually respectful way, and achieve a "good divorce."

Divorce
Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Are you feeling like a jumbled mass of goo? Did you know that as the caterpillar transforms in the chrysalis, it totally breaks down into a slurry of goo before reforming into the beautiful being that we call a butterfly? I have found that to be a powerful image in considering the process of transformational change, especially that of divorce. We tend to focus on the end result of the butterfly without acknowledging the hard work of the caterpillar and the messy work of the chrysalis. Coaching offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to examine and explore what's happening for you in this moment of transition and transformation. A space for you to speak your truth fully without filter. A space to find your true voice again. A space to find your feet and your footing as you learn to walk as an unattached individual in your own power again. A space to decide and define what comes next.

Divorce
Erica Hart
Psychologist, PhD in Clinical Psychology
I work with many couples in the process of consciously decoupling. Often there are emotional wounds for each partner. I support clients healing from these harms and working through a way to manage their relationship moving forward--particularly when there are complicated situations for instance with co-parenting.

Divorce
Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
Divorce is both an ending and a reckoning - a moment when the stories we’ve built about love, identity, and safety are forced to shift. Therapy provides a steady place to process grief, anger, and uncertainty while beginning to rediscover who you are apart from the relationship. My approach integrates attachment-based and emotionally focused methods to help you make meaning of what happened, repair self-trust, and reimagine connection in the next chapter of your life - with steadiness, dignity, and hope.
