Purpose:
Braving Divorce is a psychoeducational and process-oriented therapy group designed to support individuals navigating the uncertainty and emotional intensity of divorce. Through both education and guided discussion, members gain insight into what’s happening beneath the surface—emotionally, mentally, and relationally—while learning practical tools for healing and growth.
Focus Areas:
This group helps you strengthen your emotional regulation, rebuild a sense of safety, and restore confidence in your decision-making. Together, we’ll explore topics such as identity shifts after divorce, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, and effective co-parenting strategies that prioritize both you and your children’s well-being.
Our Goal:
The goal of Braving Divorce is to help you find stability, empowerment, and a renewed sense of self during this challenging life transition. You’ll leave with greater clarity, resilience, and the confidence to move forward—no matter what your next chapter holds.
