divorce counseling

counseling provided to individuals and their family members to help them cope with the problems resulting from divorce. In either family or individual sessions, family members may be encouraged to let go of the past and learn to deal with their present emotions. Spouses seen either individually or together may explore what their own contributions to the breakup may have been so as to decrease blame and increase probability that they can interact effectively in the future.
