Sometimes divorce and breakups are inevitable but they don’t have to be hostile. We can work together to minimize the impact on everyone involved, including children and other family members. Divorce counseling may be beneficial when one or both partners are considering divorce or separation. Common goals may include:

• Communicating and processing difficult feelings and needs
• Exploring possibilities and life after divorce/separation
• Communicating effectively with children
• Discussing co-parenting strategies
• Setting healthy boundaries for mutual respect
• Establishing closure and resolving confusing emotions
• Gaining coping skills to navigate difficult situations and changes
