Breakup & Divorce Recovery
This is where most people start — whether the relationship ended last week, or the divorce was finalized last year and it still hurts more than you expected.
Whether you're weeks out from a breakup or years into an amicable-on-paper divorce that still hurts, we'll work through the shock, the loneliness, the identity questions, and the practical realities of rebuilding a life you didn't picture living alone.
There's no timeline you're supposed to be on. Some people come in raw, mid-crisis, still checking their ex's location. Others come in months later, once the adrenaline has worn off and the quieter grief has set in. Both are the right time to start.
We'll go at the pace your nervous system can actually handle — not the pace your calendar, your friends, or your inner critic thinks you should be at.
You might be here because —
- You're navigating a recent breakup, separation, or divorce — amicable or not
- You feel like you've lost your footing, your routine, or your sense of who you are outside the relationship
- You're functioning on the outside but falling apart in the moments no one sees
- You want support that doesn't rush you toward "moving on"
What sessions look like
Early sessions are usually about stabilizing — helping your nervous system come down from crisis mode so you can actually think and feel clearly. From there, we move at your pace into the deeper work: understanding what this relationship meant, what parts of you are grieving, and what it will take to feel like yourself again.
If IFS work or attachment patterns are relevant to your story, we'll bring those in when it's useful — not because it's the protocol, but because it's your story.
Frequently asked
How soon after a breakup should I start therapy?
Whenever it starts affecting your ability to function, sleep, work, or feel like yourself — whether that's the day after or a year later. There's no wrong time.
What if the divorce is already finalized — is it too late to get support?
Not at all. Plenty of clients come in long after the paperwork is done, once the quieter, longer-term grief and identity work is ready to happen.
