Therapy for Divorce and/or Breakup

What are divorce and breakup?

Divorce or a breakup can feel like the ground beneath you has shifted. Whether it was a mutual decision or a sudden shock, the end of a relationship can bring grief, confusion, and even relief—sometimes all at once. It’s not just about losing a partner; it’s about redefining who you are and what comes next.
