Counseling for Divorce Recovery

Divorce is nearly always a very difficult transition, regardless of the circumstances that led to it. Every situation is different, but most people are left with their lives in turmoil: financial stress, guilt over the effects on children, painful emotions and heartbreak, navigating friends and extended family, or trying to date again. Support from friends, family, or a divorce support group helps, but the individualized, confidential, and objective help of a counselor can also soften the blow.

What to expect

Counseling is provided in a relaxed atmosphere, and Angela will spend the first few sessions getting to know you. After a divorce, many people simply need to process their feelings with an objective party; having someone listen and help clarify your own goals and emotions is often very helpful. A counselor's job is not to give advice but to help you find solutions that work for you.

Approach to counseling

Many people benefit from taking a closer look at their relationship history and gaining insight into what went wrong, which can set them up for more successful relationships in the future. As a marriage and family therapist, Angela has special training in relationships and family patterns to guide this process. With guided self-reflection, the crisis of divorce can become an opportunity for personal growth and the starting point of a happier life. Angela also incorporates mindfulness approaches, which are highly effective for the stress, anxiety, and depression people often face after divorce.
