Divorce Support for Kids

A family breakup is heartbreaking – on everyone!

During difficult times children need trust and attention to feel safe.  Whether there is conflict or your situation is amicable, change is especially challenging for children and teens.

The last thing you want is for your children to get inadvertently hurt in the process of your divorce. Your worry for their adaptability and vulnerability is totally normal.

When challenges arise, kids may check out – and this is when they need centering the most.

It’s tough to be a parent going through divorce.

No doubt, this may be one of the most painful times of your life. The pain may feel so unbearable it seems impossible to concentrate on anything else.

With professional help by your side, you can focus on your needs – while I’ll help your children focus on theirs.

Even when your kids say it’s no big deal, it is for them.

Reading between the lines can be hard, especially with teens and young adults.

They may process their feelings in ways that might seem normal at first glance – but are, in reality, fueled by negative energy.

For example, they may become more aggressive at sports, more confrontational in social situations, or may turn anxiety inward with eating disorders and self-destructive behaviors.

The time to help is now.

It is essential that children of all ages learn coping skills to transform their pain into positive, peaceful energy.

Separation anxiety can occur at any age.  Drama therapy can help your kids develop more confidence and adjust to a new normal where they can integrate the divorce into their lives without it tearing them apart.

They will learn how to build self-esteem and discover all the great things about themselves that no one can take away –  which will help set them up for a lifetime of success.

When the rain goes away, the sun appears again.

I always say there’s no happy pill in life.

Yes, it’s wonderful to follow your inner bliss as a guide, but the most important thing for children to understand is they have to learn how to cope with the rainy days.

As their psychotherapist, I will help them learn new ways of dealing with hard times and give them strategies to move past the trauma  – so they can appreciate the happy days even more.

I will help your family get on the right road to recovery!
