Divorce

Saren Craig (They/Them)

Professional Counselor Associate

M.A. Counseling and Guidance

I offer support for people going through a divorce. This can be a very difficult time, with ruptures in relationships that trigger anxiety and many different feelings about oneself as a person. Other times both parties can agree that this is the best course of action for both of them and separate amicably. Either way, going through a divorce can be stressful.

Divorce and separating families benefit from support while navigating difficult life transitions. Divorce moves through the process of grief and loss and high conflict divorce creates relationship disruption and concern for all members involved including parents and children. My goal is to provide families support and will engage in court advocacy throughout the process for children's care.

As a child of divorce, I know firsthand the intricacies and pain points of a ruptured relationship. I love supporting clients who have found themselves in the painful position of ending a relationship do so with care, intention, and mutual understanding.

Michaele Dunlap PsyD (she/her)

Clinical Psychologist

Our emotional partnerships often form the core of our sense of safety in the world. When our emotional partnerships are threatened or dissolving we feel groundless, cast adrift. I work with individuals to examine their state of mind and emotion when divorce is impending or in process and to help them move toward new goals and safety.

Nancy Pearson, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Having experienced the trauma of divorce first hand, I had to find ways to protect my children from the deleterious effects it can have. So I studied, and I practiced, and I took risks both professionally and personally until I could co-parent harmoniously and coach others in how to achieve that outcome. The result is a satisfying co-parenting family life where children flourish!

Heather Ackles (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

I work and have worked with numerous with individuals in the midst of divorce, break-up, separation and defining co-parenting needs. None of my clients are the same - no relationship is the same. Our histories and cultures are different. These difficult times in our lives can be the foundation for a new perspective leading to inspiring ideas, newfound strength, and doing what matters. (And, I have training with Gottman couples therapy tools.)

The decision to end a significant relationship can be a difficult and challenging process that leaves everyone depleted, confused and anxious about the future and how to move forward. Therapy can assist in working through those feelings, make sense of the end of ones relationship, and obtain a new perspective and healing.

I support children and adolescents whose parents are going through, or have gone through, a divorce or separation. Children experience familial divorce differently at every age. The grief, loss, fear of the unknown, as well as whether or not the divorce is amicable, holds many factors and many emotions for children and teens. I also work with parents, helping them support their children through the divorce process and years after. I also support adults throughout their divorce process.

Darin Bergen (he/him)

Clinical Psychologist

Divorce is one of the most stressful events a person can experience. I know because I've been through it. Because of that, I'm passionate about helping people through the divorce and finding healing. On the other side is a happy life - I know because I've seen it so many times. I typically start by processing the pain and loss of divorce before focusing on building a new life that you love.

Kris Cavanaugh LPC, CADCI

Deciding to end a relationship can be a confusing and fearful process. People often feel stuck and unsure of their future. Confronting those what ifs through a therapeutic relationship can help individuals clarify emotional wants and needs as well as learn to communicate those needs in the now and for future relationships.

Kimberly Dudley (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LMHC, LPC, NCC

Divorce isn't something that just happens, it's an outcome of deep dysfunction within a marriage. Marriages end for many reasons: betrayal, emotional and physical danger, infidelity, manipulation... They're often necessary in order for the individual parties to have a chance to rebuild health within themselves that was impossible within the marriage.

Even relationships that are ready to end have so much to teach us about ourselves—if we're able to open ourselves to learning. I specialize in helping people ready to end relationships process the hurt and say goodbye in order to discover new relationships and ways of being together.

Madeline Fox

There is a great amount of cultural attention and significance paid to couples who are wanting to partner and marry one another. I want to support you in creating meaning and ritual to the ending of your marriage. I want to guide partners to reflect and say goodbye to one another in a respectful and loving manner.

Leslie Yeargers (she/her)

While ending a marriage may be the best course of action, it is a major transition that can pose a strain on partners and their children. My goal is to help you 'divorce well' so that you can take care of your financial, logistical, and emotional needs while minimizing the impact on your children and extended family.

Gia Buckberg

Much of my work has been supporting individuals who are currently in the throes of a change in their family dynamic. Helping a client balance the challenges of being a single parent and reestablishing a relationship with former spouse and navigating supporting their children after divorce are aspects that I feel where the life coaching perspective can be greatly beneficial.
