Divorce
Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Successful negotiation of divorce is a frequent focus for my clients. Sometimes they will begin therapy while they are still married but are contemplating exiting the marriage, and sometimes clients present while divorcing or post divorce. There are a host of dimensions to this work. Often considering parenting and co-parenting is needed. Sometimes there are custody issues to work out. There could be a need for assistance in re-unifying or healing a relationship between a parent and child. Then for the parents there tend to become issues related to resuming dating, figuring out how to negotiate a new relationship in the context of parenting, and many other concerns. These are areas that I have experience with, both professionally, and personally. As a therapist I have worked clinically with countless people going through divorce, parents and children included. I also worked as a court employed child custody evaluator, in which I addressed high conflict divorcing couples. Personally, though, my life has been impacted by divorce both when I was child of divorcing parents and then as an adult when I went though my own divorce while co-parenting two young girls. I have come to realize that divorce is among the biggest stressors people can go through, and that helping the parents to divorce thoughtfully can have huge benefits to all parties involved. In my clinical work with divorce I use a variety of approaches. Sometimes I serve as a coach to one of the divorcing parties. Sometimes I work with the two parties to uncouple consciously. Such work with both parties can involve mediation, but so too can it involve ongoing coaching and support.

Divorce
Len Ramsay
Registered Psychotherapist, Gestalt Therapist , M.B.A.
Endings are hard no matter what. The pain is sometimes so great that you feel you have no choice but to aggress and blame. The lawyers will encourage this - they get paid more the more you do it. Trouble is that you had SOMETHING to do with the way things are happening, and your own personal health and growth depend on taking responsibility for what its yours as well as knowing what is not.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Relationships are difficult. Ending relationships, no matter the circumstances, can be very hard. I am the product of a messy divorce and watched my mom struggle afterwards. I am also divorced and the experience can leave you feeling defeated, overwhelmed, lost, and maybe even empowered without knowing what to do next. With Dr. Chad, we will explore your experience and help you find your path again.

Brett Ryan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
Divorce can be difficult. Often times during a divorce we don't know what the next steps are, how to heal from the past relationship, and how to set yourself up for a good future. I walk with clients to help them achieve these things

Divorce
Sara Denman
Psychologist, Psy.D
Although I do not work with couples, I do work frequently with people adjusting to life during and after a divorce. It can feel like a failure or the death of a dream of the perfect, intact family. Sometimes it is hard to picture a new normal so coming up with new identity and plans for the future is helpful. Working with an ex partner to co-parent can bring even more challenges but there are ways to help reduce conflict and mange the new life well.
