Divorce is never an easy process, even when it is mutual and both partners still get along. When children and money are involved, things can really get heated. Both people intend to do what is best for the children but it can, and often does backfire. In an environment where emotions are running high, it is easy for things to get out of hand, leading to judges, courtrooms, lots of pain and acrimony, and LOTS of money!
Sadly, when deadlocked and forced to go to court, the outcome is usually a lose, lose, lose proposition. It costs a fortune and drags everyone through the mud. The hostility can be overwhelming for everyone . And even though things aren’t being shared, children often can feel the tension and can suffer enormously. Often something they do or say may remind you of your ex and flare up emotion that children can read. These outcomes are often exactly what you were trying to avoid by going to court. There is another way.

Founded in 2008, Love Therapy Center was born from my vision of a more integrative, experiential model of psychotherapy—one that combines talk therapy with mind-body-soul modalities. Founded in the Bay Area / San Francisco & Silicon Valley, we now operate out of San Diego and serve all of California! Our primary focus is on self-love and the integration of scientifically grounded, evidence-based healing in combination with metaphysical, less-understood ancient healing traditions. When you work with someone from Love Therapy Center, you can expect that blend of both traditional and spiritual approaches—combined with evidence-based Western methods—for customized treatment that truly fits each individual.
