Before, during, or after

Some people come to therapy while deciding whether to leave. Others come in the middle of a separation, or years afterward when the dust has settled and the questions remain. Each point brings its own feelings, and all of them are welcome.

Understanding what happened

It is natural to want to understand how a relationship reached its end. Therapy can help you look at your part and your partner's part without collapsing into blame or self-criticism. That understanding can shape how you approach future relationships.

Building a life that fits

Starting over can mean rediscovering preferences, friendships, and routines that faded during the marriage. It can also mean facing loneliness and fear. Sessions offer steady space to work through both.
