Making a decision to divorce, or not to divorce, is very difficult. You need someone to talk this through. Someone who has only YOUR best interests at heart. Call me for a safe listener, sane questions, confidentiality, and a realistic look at your options.

Merrisa Dawn Santos
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.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Dr. Jennifer McManus
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist, PLLC
Does this sound familiar? You’re an ambitious woman who felt like she had it all: the career for which you worked so hard, a dream home, and an extremely fulfilling marriage. That is, until the day when your world changed forever and you knew the marriage was ending. In that moment, you fully understood the meaning of a broken heart. It’s been hard for you to work through the aftermath of the divorce on your own. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from the deep emotional pain that often comes with a divorce. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.
