Divorce Counseling in Red Bank, NJ (Monmouth County)

Everything in life is marked by a beginning and an ending. Both are necessary, both can be painful, and both can be sources of great growth and healing. Of course, necessary and potential for good doesn’t equate with easy. Divorce is no exception.

Whatever stage of divorce you are in- the questioning beforehand, the active process, or the aftermath- you are probably feeling the burden of an ending. A divorce can whisper the lie that you are alone and that you have to handle everything by yourself.

To schedule an appointment today or to get more information, call us at 732-606-4469. You deserve a life that is fulfilling and healthy, together we can turn this ending into a brand-new beginning.

What Is Divorce Counseling?

No one divorce is the same, so no one divorce counseling session should be the same either. At Red Bank counseling we prioritize you in all of our sessions. Your lifestyle, dreams, and doubts are all important aspects of counseling. Counseling should be, after all, about you, not just your divorce.

Red Bank divorce counselors have years of experience and education so we can fully support, encourage, and help you. One of the techniques of divorce therapy is to think about it in three stages. Not everyone will go through every stage, some get stuck in one or two, and some skip back and forth. This is just a very rough, potential outline to give you a direction before you talk to one of our professional divorce counselors. Wherever you are in your journey, we will meet you where you are at.

  1. Personal and Emotional- It’s easy in the stress and mess of a divorce to ignore your emotions and thoughts. When left to stew, the emotional turmoil of a divorce can results in depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief, and other mental health concerns.
  2. Logistical Issues- After a divorce, you will be rewriting your life. Budgets, living situations, and maybe your work or family will look different. It can quickly become overwhelming! A Red Bank divorce counselor will help you keep things straight while handling it all healthily.
  3. Lifestyle Changes- The good news is that you are still you and your life is still your life! It doesn’t end with a divorce, just takes a different shape. You might be looking at different friends, schedules, and responsibility. It’ll take a while to get used to this and to find a groove that really makes you happy. It’s a journey you don’t have to do alone.

Is Divorce Counseling Right for Me?

The decision to see a counselor can be wrought with guilt, shame, and doubt. Some people will say seeing a counselor is a sign of weakness because you’re relying on someone else when you should be striving for independence. Right?

Of course not! Reaching out for help is a sign of self-awareness, drive, and courage. It is not weakness. It’s a myth that you have to go through a divorce on your own. Support is incredibly helpful and can turn a bad divorce into a launching point for a new beginning!

So, as you engage in self-reflection and decide if counseling is for you, take a deep breath and remember that you are going through a tumultuous time. Things are changing in you and in your life. But it is going to be okay. This is just the first step towards creating the life you’re excited about.

Examples that could mean a divorce is taking a big toll on your life include:

  • Feeling like you can’t handle the pressure, stress, or high emotions
  • Difficulty finding joy in activities you used to love
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Unusually high levels of anger, depression, or anxiety
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Isolation from friends and family
  • Unusual eating habits (loss of appetite or uncontrollable eating)
  • Difficulty performing basic tasks

Nothing can take away all the pain and uncertainty of divorce. It will be hard, but Thriveworks in Red Bank is here to make sure you always have someone in your corner. Let’s build a future you can’t wait to wake up to!

Does Thriveworks in Red Bank Offer Divorce Counseling for Kids?

We admire your love and dedication and want to reassure you that a divorce can actually be a healthy experience for children and set them up for success.

The key is making the divorce a healthy experience and to continue being present and loving in their lives after.

Does Thriveworks in Red Bank Offer Counseling for Co-Parenting?
