Divorce Counseling – What to Expect?
This is a place to confidentially sort things out. Whether you’re deciding to end things, or your spouse did… It’s painful to go through a divorce.
There are so many complications that arise with the ending of a marriage. There’s the natural grief that’s happening right along with the legal matters and how daunting all of it can be. It's a lot to handle all at once. Beyond you and your spouse, there’s often children, friends, and family involved in the many decisions you’ll be making. It can be useful to have a place to stop and consider your options, feelings and next actions.
Divorce counseling can help your future, too. When emotions and issues surrounding divorce aren’t addressed, they’ll usually show up later in unexpected ways. Counseling can help you get through this moment of grief and stress and also leave you more likely to enjoy healthy relationships going forward.

- Fears or overwhelm about the divorce process
