John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Divorce is traumatic - even the amiable ones. Removing, or changing a significant other from your life can have deep affects on self-esteem, security and identity. I work with transitional clients to rebuild all of those aspects, towards a path of peace and foundational happiness.

Marianne Albina
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT # 139542
With clients, I explore the personal, external, and relational stories that have shaped the marriage and its dissolution, along with the hopes clients have for moving forward. In doing so, we focus on reclaiming the clients' agency beyond the marital state and delve into neglected narratives about their gifts, dignity, and value. This process empowers individuals to re-frame their experiences, fostering a renewed sense of self-worth and direction post-divorce.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Divorce sucks. Many experience anxiety, depression, fear, anger, shame, guilt, and loneliness. For some people, the divorce may come as a complete surprise and blow to one’s self esteem. Other’s choose to leave because they are dissatisfied. In both cases, there is a pervasive lack of cultural support as divorce is universally seen as something negative. Friends and family may judge the couple for “not trying hard enough”and people are quick to blame one or both partners for possessing relational flaws. As you deal with the loss of your marriage and the stigma it comes with, you may also feel you have lost yourself along the way. Therapy, not only provides a space to grieve and work through some of the emotional complexities, it is also a space where you gain insight into yourself and how you show up in relationships so you can do things differently.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we understand that divorce can be a painful and complex process, often rooted in unresolved fears and unmet emotional needs. Our approach centers on helping couples explore the underlying dynamics that may have led them to consider separation, such as fears of abandonment, loss of self-worth, or communication breakdowns. Through the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide partners to identify their “chief defenses” that have contributed to conflict and disconnection. By encouraging couples to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a safe space for open dialogue, healing, and understanding. This transformative process not only addresses the immediate concerns surrounding divorce but also fosters personal growth and resilience, empowering individuals to navigate their relationships with clarity and purpose—whether that leads to reconciliation or a healthier, more amicable separation.

Brad Byrum
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MBA, LMFT
As a relationship therapist, I know that sometimes relationships end. Sometimes they need to end. Sometimes both partners know this. Sometimes one partner knows it and the other wishes it weren’t true. Sometimes both partners wish it weren’t true and yet it is.
I work with individuals and couples who are living through an uncoupling. This can be a traumatic experience of grief, shame, anger, resentment, confusion and betrayal. I offer a way of working through the process of uncoupling in which we seek to make peace where peace is possible, healing what can be healed, and accepting the ending of a relationship.

Divorce
Dr. Lynn E. O'Connor
Therapist, PhD
Dealing with divorce is a difficult and sometimes devastating experience. I help clients challenged by the legal system as they face the divorce process itself and by the psychological difficulties they have to master. I have been studying guilt and self-blame for 30 years as a researcher, teacher, and clinician. Divorce is often accompanied by overwhelming feelings of guilt. Working collaboratively with my clients, using self-compassion and mindfulness, helps to reduce the suffering guilt causes them and allows them to move forward with greater optimism.
