How a divorce coach can help you.

Divorce is an emotional trip through a mine field. While experiencing pain, anger, fear, rejection, lack of trust and vulnerability, you have to make the critical decisions that affect you and your children. A divorce coach not only understands the emotions but also knows the rules involving custody, what families need to understand while going through the divorce process and the benefits of various options available to you and your family.

While the advantages of legal and financial counsel are well publicized, not as well known is the role of the coach who is trained to help you understand what is involved and how to analyze the options and negotiate with your spouse in a way that reaches a fair result with everyone’s ultimate welfare in mind.

In addition to having broad knowledge of the divorce and custody process, I am also an Advanced Practice Nurse with specialty training in psychiatric nursing and mental health. I have Board Certification by the American Nursing Credentialing Center as an Adult Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. This training is especially helpful in working with parents and children in understanding the problems that can arise during divorce and conflict to help my clients make the optimum negotiating choices.

Divorce is painful enough. Having a coach with extensive training in psychiatric nursing, and experienced in diagnosing, evaluating and providing treatment including medication prescription, couples and individual therapy can provide you with the knowledge and emotional support needed to lessen the trauma as you negotiate your divorce.
