The amount of divorce counseling sessions will vary from one person to the next, depending on their specific needs. However, it typically lasts for several weeks or months.
At the end of a marriage, it often represents the closing of a chapter, the failure of a dream for happily ever after and working through painful emotions. When couples plan a marriage, stand up in front of their friends and family, and say, “I do,” they never think they will later need a divorce coach. But sadly, we all know that divorce is the ending for many marriages in America today.
You and your spouse may have done everything possible to save the marriage. It’s time now to pick up the pieces of your life and create a new chapter. Thriveworks coaches can help you navigate through these difficult and confusing times. Reach out to us today to schedule divorce counseling at Thriveworks Charlotte.
Thriveworks has many options available in helping you and your family through all stages of divorce:
Thriveworks has trained professionals that can offer a variety of services specifically to help families going through a high conflict divorce.
Reunification – Reunification services consists of a type of family therapy that works with a family when there has been a disruption of a parent/child relationship. Reunification is typically ordered by a judge or an agreement is in place between both parties.
Visitation Refusal – Sometimes children may develop visitation refusal. This is when a child will resist seeing or visiting with their other parent. This can be due to a variety of reasons. Thriveworks has therapists and coaches that work with children and parents to help reduce visitation refusal and strategies for parents when faced with this challenge.
Parent Coordination – Parent Coordination is a service that is ordered through the courts or an agreement is signed. Based on the Parent Coordinator order, the Parent Coordinator will assist the family in working together and making decisions in the best interest of the children. Through Parent Coordination, the Parent Coordinator is a representative of the court that assists parents in learning how to work together in the best interest of their children. The goal is to move away from litigation and stay out of the court room. When a decision can not be reached the Parent Coordinator will make the final decision if one can not be reached.
