Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Divorce can significantly impact someone dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression in various ways. For instance, it can intensify feelings of loneliness and trigger addictive behaviors as a way to cope with emotional pain. It may also exacerbate existing relationship issues, leading to further stress and conflict. Moreover, divorce can worsen symptoms of depression, amplifying feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and worthlessness.
As a therapist specializing in these cases, I would provide empathetic support and a non-judgmental space for clients to express their emotions and concerns. I would offer practical guidance on coping strategies tailored to their specific situation, such as finding healthy outlets for stress, rebuilding self-esteem, and fostering positive social connections. Additionally, I would help them explore underlying issues contributing to their struggles and work collaboratively to develop personalized solutions for moving forward in a positive direction.

Debra Alper, Life Transitions Counseling LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Divorce is hard and can be scary and overwhelming. If you find yourself flooded by all the new beginnings as well as the loss that accompanies divorce, you could benefit from the help of a caring, trusted therapeutic relationship. A good therapist can help you navigate the minefields of “uncoupling” and help to normalize and stabilize the pressure cooker of feelings you are experiencing. Therapy can also help you to adjust to your new normal once the divorce is over and life looks very different from what you are used to it looking and feeling like.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I'd help someone going through a divorce by giving them a safe place to talk about how they're feeling. We'd dig into any emotional stuff or past traumas connected to the split, and figure out ways to deal with the sadness, loss, and uncertainty. Plus, we'd work on skills to handle co-parenting, deal with arguments, and start over after the divorce. The goal of therapy would be to help them heal from the hurt of the breakup, feel better about themselves, and get back on track in a positive way.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In supporting individuals processing divorce, I provide a compassionate and understanding environment for them to navigate the emotional and practical aspects of the process. Through therapy, we work together to explore and validate their feelings of grief, anger, sadness, or relief. I offer coping strategies and tools to manage the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, including mindfulness techniques, journaling, and self-care practices. Additionally, we address practical concerns such as legal proceedings, financial adjustments, and co-parenting arrangements, helping them feel empowered and prepared for the next steps. I also provide a supportive space for individuals to reflect on their experiences, gain clarity, and envision a positive future beyond divorce. My goal is to help them heal from the pain of separation, rebuild their lives with resilience and optimism, and navigate the transition to a new chapter with confidence and strength.
