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.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I have been divorced. I was married for four years and tried to fit in with my family and friends. Divorce is an ongoing grieving process for a while. First when thinking of divorce or in marital counseling, we may be angry and blaming our spouse for certain things. Then there may be a separation where we get to feel other feelings. Until the divorce is complete through the courts we are still attached and unavailable. We may have guilt about not following through on our marriage vows. We may be upset because we knew it wouldn't work from the beginning. We may also not know who we are as we defined ourselves through the marriage and what we did together. And frequently feelings of failure surface. Divorce is a transition. Many of us just cannot live together. My opinion is that it too easy to get married and too difficult to get divorced because of money, friends, family, etc. It usually takes a good year to a year in a half living together before we know if this is the person for me as a life partner. The chemicals of oxytocin in our bodies get released when we are dating somebody new. This feeling brings us together in what we call love. However, real lasting Love takes longer to cultivate and it takes 1-1 1/2 years for the oxytocin to wear off so we can see our partners for who they really are. In short, oxytocin and sex make us stupid to jump into committed relationships before both parties are ready.

Dr. Walter J. Matweychuk
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life is short, and when a marriage does not work, it is essential to accept this and move on. No law of the universe dictates a relationship must exist forever. When a relationship ends this may very well be a sad event, but with a healthy attitude you can rebuild your life and enjoy it again.

Karina Suero
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Are you considering if you want to stay or leave? Did you make the decision or was it imposed on you? No matter what stage are you in, the state of disruption and disorientation is gigantic. There is so much hurt, sadness, resentment, fear and anxiety. Would I be able to make alone? Am I lovable? Will the kids still love me? How are we handling the holidays?
I can help you navigate the process of reorienting yourself in life, making sense of your feelings, communicating with your kids, your extended family, and if possible and desirable with your ex partner and/ or explore and expand your support system.
Contact me and let’s do this together.
