“We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”

Divorce Coaching
Divorce is hard…
Divorce is not easy and for most it can feel scary and overwhelming, particularly if you have children. Divorce marks the end of a significant chapter in life, leaving you to navigate not only the practical challenges of splitting assets and co-parenting but also profound feelings of loss and loneliness. It can feel impossible to know how to make decisions, how to parent and communicate with your ex, and how to navigate the process with its legal complexities when you are struggling just to keep your head above water.
But there’s help!
There is no question about it, divorce is tough. Separating physically, emotionally, and financially from another person is complicated and often fraught with emotions that can make even the simplest of decisions seem impossible. Then throw children into the mix and the challenges can take on a life of their own.
For most, seeking legal or financial help to navigate divorce is a logical first step, but many don’t think to also seek support for the emotional aspects of divorce. A divorce coach can support you through the emotional aspects of divorce which can help you find clarity in making decisions regarding the legal, financial, and custodial aspects of divorce.
This is a particularly important resource when a divorce is high conflict because you can get swept up in your emotions and lose sight of what is ultimately in your, and more importantly, your children’s’ best interest.
And these challenges can occur long after a divorce is finalized. You may be legally divorced, but when children are involved, you will always be tied to your former spouse.
Your divorce coach can help you navigate your post-divorce parenting journey.
Divorce is a significant life change, but it can also be an opportunity for growth and new beginnings. With support from one of our divorce coaches, you can navigate this journey with resilience and confidence.

Therapy vs. Coaching
How do I know whether coaching is right for me?
There are two key differences between therapy and coaching.
Therapy tends to focus on the past while moving you towards a better future. Therapy is introspective and supports clients in working through emotions, behaviors, and though patterns. Therapy also usually focuses on why things are the way they are.
Coaching is more future and goal oriented. Coaching focuses on clarifying goals, identifying obstacles and building skills to achieve those goals. That being said, coaches can also help you understand how the past influences your present.
Coaching and therapy are complementary processes, and when needed I can help you find a therapist that is right for you.
Therapy is about treating a mental health problem. As such, it may be covered by your insurance if you meet the criteria for a mental health diagnosis per insurance guidelines. Therapy is billed based on a 50-minute therapy session.
Coaching is not covered by health insurance because it does not focus on treating an illness. Coaching is billed at an hourly rate. Because coaching can involve support between appointments, billing can also include time spent on phone calls, emails, texts etc.
Our current rate for a coaching hour is $225.
