Divorce Counseling in NYC

Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions. Even when it’s the right decision, the process can bring overwhelming emotions—sadness, anger, guilt, fear, and uncertainty about the future. At Relationships & More, we offer Divorce Counseling to support individuals, couples, and families navigating this challenging chapter. Our goal is not only to help you process the end of a marriage but also to give you tools for healing, growth, and moving forward with clarity.

What Is Divorce Counseling?

Divorce counseling provides a safe, compassionate space to explore the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that arise during and after separation. Unlike traditional marriage counseling—which focuses on strengthening the relationship—divorce counseling is designed to help clients:

Process grief and loss.
Communicate more effectively during separation.
Develop strategies for co-parenting.
Navigate changes in identity, routine, and lifestyle.
Build resilience and prepare for life after divorce.

Whether you are contemplating divorce, in the middle of legal proceedings, or adjusting to post-divorce life, counseling can provide guidance and emotional support every step of the way.

Who Can Benefit from Divorce Counseling?

Divorce affects more than just two partners—it often impacts children, extended family, and even friendships. We offer tailored counseling services for:

Individuals

If you are experiencing overwhelming emotions, questioning your self-worth, or struggling to envision a new chapter of life, individual counseling can help you rebuild confidence, process grief, and rediscover personal goals.

Couples Separating

For some couples, divorce counseling involves learning to communicate respectfully as they move toward separation. This is especially important when children are involved and co-parenting will be ongoing. Working with a therapist can reduce conflict and foster cooperation.

Families

Children often struggle with divorce, and they may need support to process feelings of confusion, anger, or sadness. Family counseling helps parents and children navigate these transitions together, fostering stability and reassurance during a time of change.

Common Challenges Addressed in Divorce Counseling

Every divorce is unique, but many clients share similar struggles. In counseling, you can expect guidance around:

Managing emotions: Handling anger, grief, anxiety, or resentment in healthy ways.
Co-parenting: Creating stability for children through respectful communication and consistency.
Identity shifts: Adjusting to the new reality of being single after years of marriage.
Conflict resolution: Finding constructive ways to handle disputes without escalating.
Rebuilding trust in yourself: Letting go of guilt, shame, or self-blame to build a healthier future.

Our Approach to Divorce Counseling

At Relationships & More, we draw from evidence-based methods to support healing and growth during divorce, including:

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Helping clients process emotions and develop healthier ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Challenging unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with constructive perspectives.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Cultivating calm and resilience during times of stress.
Family Systems Therapy: Supporting children and co-parents in adjusting to new family structures.

We customize each session to your unique situation, ensuring you feel heard, validated, and empowered.

Divorce Counseling for Co-Parenting Success

Divorce doesn’t end parenting responsibilities. If you share children, the way you and your ex-partner manage your relationship will have a profound effect on their well-being. Counseling can help you:

Establish healthy boundaries.
Create consistent routines between households.
Reduce tension during transitions.
Develop cooperative communication.

When parents commit to respectful co-parenting, children feel more secure, even in the midst of change.

Divorce Counseling vs. Couples Counseling

It’s important to distinguish divorce counseling from traditional couples counseling. Couples counseling focuses on strengthening and preserving the relationship, while divorce counseling supports partners who have decided to separate—or are strongly considering it. In some cases, couples may begin in counseling to explore whether reconciliation is possible, then transition to divorce counseling if separation becomes the path forward.
