Counseling during the Divorce Process

Of my clients that smartly utilize the collaborative or cooperative model of divorce (ie low conflict) I usually don’t see a need for therapy or transition counseling during a divorce. Some of my clients do benefit, however, from contact with an experienced therpaist skilled in divorce, family conflict, and co-parenting counseling.

Divorce can be an isolating. Divorce is change. Divorce is transition. Divorce can be anxiety-producing, even frightening. My office neighbor, Rhonda Kelloway, LCSW, speaks of the role of a therapist as a “professional, caring companion through this difficult stage in your life journey.” Rhonda speaks of goal setting and charting a course to help her clients reach the goals that they desire for themselves for the future. “My goal,” Rhonda says, “is to help you get back to your best life as quickly as possible.” I like this approach, and have always felt that my clients in the difficult transition of divorce have benefited from counseling.
