Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Dr. Anna Smith, psychologist
Divorce

Dr. Anna Smith

Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Considering separation or divorce is one of the most painful and confusing decisions a person or couple can face. Through discernment counseling or supportive individual/couples work, I help you slow down, clarify what’s happened in the relationship, understand your own needs and patterns, and explore whether repair is possible or if it’s time to move forward with clarity and care. You don’t have to figure it out alone—therapy here provides a compassionate, structured space to make thoughtful decisions that honor your emotional well-being and future.

Boynton Beach, Florida therapist: Robin Kaye Stilwell, marriage and family therapist
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.

Whether you're contemplating separation, in the middle of the process, or rebuilding afterward, therapy can help you navigate the emotional complexity without losing yourself. We help clients process grief, manage conflict, co-parent more effectively, and eventually move forward with clarity about what they actually want from their next chapter.

New York City, New York therapist: Kate E. Stephenson, life coach
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. Holistic Life Coaching offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to examine and explore what's happening for you in this moment of transition and transformation. I am NOT offering therapy; our work together will not focus on the failings of the past but on how to get you the life you want next. Our work will be to give you the space to become. A space for you to speak your truth fully without filter. A space to find your true voice today. A space to find your feet and your footing as you learn to walk forward as an unattached individual in your own power again. A space to decide and define what comes next.

Washington's identity as the center of American political life creates a distinct mental health environment where therapists frequently address political burnout, moral injury, and the psychological toll of careers in government, advocacy, nonprofit work, and public policy. The city has a highly educated and driven professional demographic, and therapists specializing in perfectionism, ambition-related anxiety, and navigating high-stakes careers are consistently in demand. DC's large Black professional community and its diverse immigrant population from Africa, Central America, South Asia, and East Asia make culturally affirming and multilingual care especially important. MedStar Georgetown University Hospital and GW Hospital provide institutional mental health anchors alongside the city's dense and sophisticated independent therapy community.
