Divorce
Teri L. Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LCPC
As a Divorce Mediator I can assist you in navigating the ending of your marriage. I received my Divorce Mediator certificate from Northwestern University. My specialization is in the emotional aspect of the divorce. There are ways to separate that allows for detachment from the anger that often accompanies divorce, and helps each party to be free from that attachment. If children are involved it is important to learn a new way of being together as a "family." I have worked with many couples who were able to divorce without the emotional bondage that often occurs without therapy.

Divorce
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
The decision to divorce is complex and rarely straightforward. Many people face sleepless nights, worries about the future, and complex emotions ranging from relief to guilt to grief. Dr. Cynthia understands that deciding to end a marriage can feel like an emotional rollercoaster, especially when you're grappling with questions about becoming a single mom, finacial stability, and coparenting.
For those dealing with an antagonistic divorce, where cooperation with your ex-partner is strained or even combative, the journey can feel even more challenging. Antagonistic divorces are uniquely draining because they often involve a pattern of conflict and resistance that can make simple decisions, from shared schedules to finances, feel impossible. Dr. Cynthia’s approach helps you build resilience in these situations and prioritize your mental health, so the burden of ongoing disputes doesn't wear you down. Going through a divorce with a narcissistic partner can leave you feeling exhausted and often questioning your reality.
Co-parenting adds another layer of complexity, even in amicable divorces, and it can be especially tough when communication with an ex is strained. Dr. Cynthia offers guidance on effective co-parenting strategies, conflict resolution, and setting healthy boundaries that help minimize stress for both parents and children. Through her support, she provides tools to help you manage co-parenting dynamics, reduce stress, and build a sustainable path forward for you and your family. Your children need a strong mom and you deserve the support that therapy offers as you rebuild your new life.

Divorce
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.
