Divorce and Separation  Therapy in Sacramento

Therapy during a breakup offers a place to talk things through at your own pace. It can help you find steadiness in the middle of change and make sense of what this shift means for you personally. We work with people facing divorce, non-marital separations, long-term relationship endings, and other major transitions that disrupt daily life and emotional balance.

Therapy That Helps You Reclaim Your Identity

The end of a long-term relationship often stirs up difficult questions. You may find yourself seeing things differently or feeling uncertain about what comes next. In therapy, we create space to talk about these changes with compassion. Rather than focusing on what went wrong, we focus on helping you reconnect with what still matters to you.

How Separation Affects Mental Health

Separation can affect sleep, appetite, concentration, and how you navigate everyday tasks. As you would imagine, studies have shown that divorce is often linked to increased stress, sadness, and difficulty focusing. These reactions are part of adjusting to something significant. In therapy, we talk through what you notice and work together to help you feel steadier over time.

Relationships Can Leave Emotional Wounds

Some separations follow years of control, betrayal, or emotional neglect. These experiences don't disappear once the relationship ends. In therapy, we take time to name what happened and talk through it in a setting that centers your safety. Our approach is sensitive to how trauma shapes healing and always moves at your pace.

Support For Separated Parents

Parents facing separation often feel pressure from every direction. Scheduling, communication, and changes in household structure all require adjustment. We help you sort through these layers while staying present for your children. Whether you're creating a co-parenting plan or talking through what to say at home, we offer guidance that matches your reality.

In-Person or Online  Therapy Sessions

We offer in-person sessions from our Midtown Sacramento office because the connection built face to face often makes a difference. That said, we also offer virtual sessions to clients across California, using secure platforms that allow us to deliver care with warmth, presence, and attentiveness.

Specialized Services for People Facing Major Relationship Changes

We offer therapy that fits the stage you're in, whether you're just beginning to think about separation or working to adjust after it's complete. We also provide consultations and are developing group therapy offerings to support those moving through similar experiences.

FAQs About Divorce or Separation Therapy in Sacramento

• How do I know if therapy is right for me during a separation?

  It can be helpful to talk when life feels unsettled or uncertain. Whether you're tired, unsure, or carrying a lot emotionally, this space gives you room to speak freely. Many people find that even one conversation can help things feel more manageable.

• What kinds of issues do people talk about in divorce therapy?

  People bring in a wide range of topics—grief, parenting questions, frustration, or moments they don't know how to name yet. We follow your lead and help you unpack what's most important to you, whether that's emotional repair, structure, or clarity.

• Can I do divorce therapy with my ex-partner?

  When both people are open to it, we do offer sessions for separated couples. These often center on communication, thoughtful decision-making, or developing a more collaborative co-parenting plan. This work is different from couples therapy focused on reconciliation.

• What if I don't feel ready to talk?

  Many people begin therapy unsure of what to say. That's completely okay. We take things one step at a time and follow your lead. You never need to come in with a script. Just bringing yourself is enough.

• Do you accept insurance for divorce or separation therapy?

  Our therapists operate on a private-pay basis, but we provide superbills that many clients use for out-of-network reimbursement. Each therapist sets their rate based on their training and experience.
