A Therapist’s Guide To Divorce
What couples therapists, LMFTs, LPCs, and LCSWs need to know when a client separates.
Divorce doesn’t stay contained. It follows your clients into their grief, nervous system, parenting, finances, and a legal process they don’t understand. Two attorney-mediators—one a former therapist—wrote it to give you what you were never taught: a clinical framework, legal literacy, and step-by-step guidance.
Built around what therapists face.
Three things you get on day one.
Protect Your Therapeutic Progress
How adversarial legal processes erode the therapeutic alliance—and how to steer clients toward a structure that protects it.
Your client's legal options
The landscape — mediation, collaborative divorce, separate attorneys, self-representation — so you can explain each path and refer with confidence.
The Right Modality at the Right Phase
Approaches—Discernment Counseling, Therapeutic Separation, Conscious Uncoupling, Closure Therapy—each mapped to its phase of the divorce.
