Experiencing a Divorce can bring up a variety of emotions. Couples who are ending their Marriage may go through different stages of grief– denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Speaking with a Licensed Mental Health Professional could be beneficial as you navigate a Family Law matter. Below are four types of counseling our Team often recommends to our Clients.
- Couples Counseling: In certain situations, attending counseling sessions with your Spouse could promote healthier communication and mutual understanding. If reconciliation is possible, our Attorneys support Marriages being restored when appropriate and safe. However, couples counseling may still result in Divorce proceedings for Family Law Clients. Those who decide to split up after making an effort to reunite through therapy, may approach their separation with deeper grace, humility, and empathy for one another.
- Individual Counseling: Perhaps your Spouse is unwilling to give counseling a try. Going alone could still help you process what is happening and have an opportunity to listen to an objective perspective. A counselor might act as a sounding board to ensure that emotions aren’t being bottled up.
- Family Therapy: When children are at an age where they can potentially recognize the change taking place in the household dynamics, family therapy may help everyone arrive at a place of healing. Also, during sessions where everyone is present, the risk of miscommunication is less likely.
- Play Therapy: If a toddler or young child is at the center of a Divorce or Legal Separation, he or she may struggle to articulate feelings or genuinely share what is going on at home. Practices that offer play therapy engage children at a level that they can easily comprehend and create a welcoming environment for vulnerability. Examples include role-playing, storytelling, creative expression, etc.
