Divorce & Life Transitions

- Divorce, separation and other transitions in life increase stress responses. Divorce can be a lengthy, arduous process in which you feel overwhelmed, confused, angry, hurt, disappointed, scared, ashamed, grief, and loss. It can be hard to navigate the big decisions such as your living situation, finances, child custody, visitation and the like. Divorce can be mutual or high conflict, but having support and guidance makes all the difference. Mediation/Divorce Counseling focused on family can give you, your partner, and your children an opportunity to share feelings and discuss how to move through this transition with as much compassion and support as possible.
