Divorce & Separation Therapists in Santa Barbara, California

When going through a separation or divorce, it’s natural to feel some degree of distress, as it takes time to adjust to what may be a painful life change. However, if events or feelings are prolonged or particularly intense, they may become overwhelming and interfere with your ability to go about everyday life. If you’re experiencing acute stress during this time, it may be helpful to seek support from a trained therapist.

Therapy might involve learning new coping and self-care skills, exploring and processing the separation experience, managing difficult emotions, or problem-solving issues that arise as a result of the separation. Some providers might focus on developing more helpful thoughts and perspectives through talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while other therapists may take a more reflective, exploratory approach, as is common in psychodynamic therapy.
