Don't be afraid to ask for help, professional assistance is often necessary in order to successfully navigate this time in your life. We provide divorce-related services to both adults and children. The child's program involves individual and group counseling. Center therapists provide your children with helpful information about how children experience divorce, reassurance that the divorce is not their fault, and coping skills to help them through this difficult time with the least amount of emotional scarring possible. Professional intervention is sometimes necessary simply because otherwise helpful and compassionate parents are unable to provide the emotional support children need because they are overwhelmed with their own emotions. Frequent therapy topics with children include:
- confusion about loyalty to parents
- feelings of grief, anger, sadness, and denial
- separating the needs of children from those of parents
- anxiety about the changes brought on by the divorce
- preparing to be part of a step family or blended family
Divorce recover services to adults combine psychotherapy and education to address the concerns and issues common to the healing process after divorce. Specifically, you will receive help with:
- Pre- and post-separation issues
- How and what to tell your child
- What their reactions are likely to be and how to deal with them
- Developing a positive working relationship with your ex-spouse
- Getting rid of anger and hurt
