Get the Help You Need During Divorce with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Collaborative divorce is a relatively new practice that sees a neutral facilitator, usually a licensed mental health practitioner, facilitating conversations between two sets of lawyers, their clients, and a financial adviser on how to divide assets and craft a timeshare agreement when children are involved. 

Having a mental health practitioner present can absorb some of the anxiety of such a tumultuous time and can more easily create pathways for supportive conversations that can be modeled by both parties in their future lives.

Let's face it, going through the courts and having a judge determine the fate of your family, your finances, and how you'll interact with your kids can not only be expensive but traumatizing.  Going through mediation might leave certain details out that a mental health practitioner can point out, such as the intricacies of how evidence-based parenting plans work.

I've had the honor of working on Collaborative Divorce cases as a neutral facilitator through a joint partnership between Nova Southeastern University's Brief Therapy Institute and Mission United, working with United States military families who were divorcing.

I've also utilized the therapy room for couples who are deciding to separate and need help processing those feelings or need guidance on how to break the news to their kids and family members.

If you're considering Collaborative Divorce local to South Florida, I'd point you in the direction of Collaborative Family Law Professionals of South Florida.

I'm presently accepting clients who need additional therapy when they've elected to go through the collaborative divorce process.  I'm also available as a child specialist who can act as your children's advocate, bringing their voices into the room when crafting timeshare agreements.

I am certified by The International Academy of Collaborative Professionals (IACP).
