Divorce & Separation Counseling Services
Separation and Divorce are difficult for everyone involved, but we can partner together to focus on how best to move forward.
Separation and Divorce are complicated. The impact and implications of Separation and Divorce vary for every couple, but one thing remains the same for everyone – we all must learn how to move forward in the best way possible.
The end of a relationship often involves a complex combination of emotions, and it can be difficult to process and manage.
Navigating the process of ending a relationship involves facing not only a complex mix of emotions, but a new series of logistical challenges. It is vital that the emotions be managed so they do not interfere with addressing the many decisions that follow the end of a relationship.
Going through this process is challenging enough. No one should have to do it alone!
How we’ll use the strength-based approach to help you form techniques for Divorce & Separation:
- Focusing on your internal strengths and resourcefulness to get through this difficult transition.
- Developing skills to cope with this change and setting intentions for personal growth.
- Protecting your independence, resilience, and ability to make choices for your overall wellbeing.
- Learning to develop realistic habits that will help you take care of yourself physically, socially, and emotionally.
- Exploring challenging or painful experiences so you can move forward with a sense of hopefulness.
What to expect from counseling for Divorce & Separation
We create a unique counseling process that is tailored to each person’s strengths and experiences.
Counseling is meant to be a time of self-exploration and growth. Your clinician will tailor treatment to your specific needs based on your goals and what you would like to achieve. Counseling has the potential to be short-term or long-term based on your individual needs.
Sustained progress can be made in as few as 8 weekly sessions, but most people find that they need treatment for a minimum of several months. We encourage you to attend weekly sessions, as this allows you to establish a close working relationship with your clinician and to make progress more quickly. Our hope is for you to reach your goals sooner rather than later so that you can live the life you desire.
Both before and during your first session, you will be asked to provide information about yourself and your reasons for seeking counseling. During the first session, your clinician will briefly review Restorative Counseling’s policies so that you are aware of your rights as a client and can ask any questions you may have. The primary focus of the intake process is to discuss your personal, social, family, and educational history to help give your clinician an overall picture of who you are. Goals for treatment will be discussed and your clinician will provide insight into how they conduct counseling sessions.
In addition to learning about you, the Intake process is a time for you to learn about your clinician. It is important that you feel they are the right fit for your style and needs. We encourage you to ask questions so you can be clear on what to expect from your clinician.
The intake session(s) typically lasts 55-60 minutes.
Working with you, your clinician will help you explore the sources of your difficulties and develop helpful strategies to address your concerns. Your clinician will provide a space for you to identify your strengths and difficulties. You will be empowered to decide what works best for you and what changes you are ready to make.
Ongoing sessions are 45-53 minutes, depending on your insurance plan.
As you move through the counseling process, you and your clinician will discuss your progress. Once it has been decided that you have achieved your goals, you and your clinician will discuss terminating services. These final few sessions will focus on reviewing the progress you have made and how you can continue to maintain these changes moving forward.
