divorce process group

Meeting every other week, this group is a space to share our experiences with separation and divorce, regardless of where we are in the process. We’ll discuss your experiences, share resources and strategies, and develop our ability to talk about difficult situations without becoming overwhelmed. Ideally we can also keep a sense of humor about decisions we probably never expected to make. Solidarity in the company of women empowers us to move through this. Verbal participation is always optional.

ABOUT THE GROUP

It is natural to feel overwhelmed and lonely when going through a divorce. Regardless of whether you initiated the divorce, you probably have mixed feelings that your friends, family, and former partner are not able to understand.

It is normal for complicated situations to result in complicated feelings.

Relying too heavily on your existing support network to help you process this experience can be unhealthy, particularly if they don’t have direct personal experience with divorce. It can be helpful and validating to speak with others who have been through or are going through the same thing you are.

ABOUT FAITH

My private practice focuses on supporting clients struggling with anxiety/depression, ADHD (adult and adolescent), mood dysregulation, panic attacks, social anxiety, trauma, and grief, as well as broader existential anxiety related to climate, politics, and culture. Prior to the pandemic, I worked extensively as a facilitator for therapy groups for teenagers and have seen the enormous value that group support can provide to struggling people of all ages. I have also been divorced myself and know firsthand the difficult conversations and decisions you are facing.
