Divorce is hard. No, it’s really hard. It’s something that you never imagined happening to you. It stops you in your tracks. Perhaps, your whole world feels like it is crumbling now that your marriage is over.
It’s okay to process all emotions after a divorce. We have counselors who specialize in this in our Houston, Heights 77007 and San Antonio’s Alamo Heights practice.
No matter if the decision to divorce was amicable, blind-sighted, they chose to end it, or you chose to end it, the ending of a marriage is almost always accompanied with a sense of grief. Even if you feel relieved for it to be over, you’re likely still left with the memories of the hopes and dreams you had when you first got married, and the hurt that things didn’t work out the way you anticipated.
Our therapists are skilled in helping individuals overcome the sadness they feel after a divorce. We want to work with you to process these difficult emotions. When you attending counseling at Heights Family Counseling, you will have an ally by your side to support you and talk through all the things you’re feeling and experiencing after your relationship ends. Your anxiety and depression may feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to go through it alone.
Why you should consider breakup or divorce counseling
Ending a relationship is something that causes many to enter counseling. After all, what happens when the person you normally would go to for support and relief, is now the person that is causing negative feelings? How do you learn how to function without this person in your life?
Divorce counseling can help you bring about positive change after a breakup
There is a reason that break-ups often lead to new hairstyles (hello bangs), hair colors, or wardrobes. While feeling our lowest, many people seek self-improvement and change. There is something empowering about starting new routines or healthy habits. Counseling is the perfect place to start that.
Divorce doesn’t always lead to healthy habits, and you know what, you can come and see us with no expectations. Crumble when you need to, cry, feel it all deeply, and we will hold all of it. You can feel what you need to feel with us. You don’t have to be strong in counseling. Remember, you don’t have to hold it together all the time. Counseling allows you the freedom to just be you.

Discernment Counseling
You are standing at a crossroad. You know the next step in your marriage is one of the most important ones you’ll ever make. But, you’re not sure what to do and you feel so conflicted. The weight of deciding to divorce your spouse is exhausting and overwhelming. Plus, it may be hard to talk to other people about what you’re experiencing for fear of judgement or due to your desire for privacy.
We are trained in relationships and discernment counseling. Not only can we offer counseling to strengthen relationships, we can offer counseling to determine rather to end your relationship. Discernment counseling allows you to come to your own conclusion about the fate of your relationship and gives you the strength to feel confident in your decision. Wouldn’t it be nice to clear your mind, find wisdom, and become clearer in your decision?
Co-parent Counseling
We are divorced/separated, now what? This is a question we get a lot. Many divorced couples are able to go through the process amicably and want to continue the new partnership in their parenting.
But, if this is not the case and you’re struggling to co-parent with your ex, we offer counseling to help co-parent. Many of our counselors specialize in child development and play therapy. So, they understand what needs to be done in the best interest of your child. They can help better your communication and help you make decisions for what is best for your child in a positive manner.
Child Therapy After Divorce
We specialize in child counseling, tweens and teen therapy, and play therapy. Family transitions like divorce can be difficult for any child or teenager. They suddenly have a different family structure, often a new family home, and are trying to make sense of all the changes. Having someone to talk and process these emotions is often helpful. We can provide a safe place to explore emotions, while also giving tools to help cope with difficult emotions.
