Divorce and Trauma Coaching
Thank you for placing your trust in me and welcome!
When it comes to working together, I prioritize a compassionate and trauma-informed approach while serving as your advocate and guide. Cases involving children and custody matters will be met with a child-centered mindset that aligns with the best interests of your children.
My role is to meet you where you are so that I can support your unique needs and help you make the best decisions possible for you and your child(ren). Whether you are considering divorce, in the middle of a high-conflict divorce, or planning a beautiful post-divorce future, the dynamic experience of coaching will help support you at any point of the process.
Together, we will create goals and intentions, learn to identify triggers, set and enforce boundaries, streamline your methods of communication, master self-regulation, and utilize a sharp, strategic mindset. As a result, you will be able to endure the business of divorce and achieve mental and emotional peace by filtering the noise from the music.
When to Connect
Contemplating Divorce
-
You wonder what divorce would look like for you and your family and cannot begin to imagine how you’ll find the strength, energy and clarity to survive.
What’s more, the expense and uncertainty of entering the family law system may serve as a solid barrier to your ability to determine what to do, especially if you anticipate a high-conflict divorce.
I have been in your shoes and have faced the decision-making fog. If you are curious about exploring the possibility of beginning anew, I am happy to link arms and do the work together.
During Divorce
-
You are interested in the perspective of another woman who can relate and who has made it through this process. Maybe you seek an advocate who will patiently and compassionately help you manage the business of divorce as it relates to your time, expenses and goals. Perhaps you recognize that you are a highly emotional person and would value an objective set of eyes to review communication to stay grounded, clear and strategic.
If you are thinking you could benefit from the following, please know you don’t need to do this alone. I am here to walk beside you through the tunnel and help you see the light.
Post-Divorce
-
Perhaps, co-parenting is a real struggle, and you find yourself very frustrated by every interaction and piece of communication. You may be curious about dating and yet scared and unsure as to how to put yourself out there and open your heart again. Your child(ren) may be exhibiting signs of divorce-related distress and you are eager to learn ways to support and nurture. Your ex may be dragging you back to court to financially drain your or seek revenge, and you may feel defeated by the continued conflict even after the divorce is final.
Let me help you feel confident, prepared, and excited about turning your wounds into scars, moving on gracefully, reinventing yourself and write you next chapter.
Divorce is a complex process. To that end, divorce coaching to support and guide you through the divorce process often requires multiple sessions. I have created the following packages based on years of experience with my clients. Please review the packages below to decide which option best meets your needs.
Session Packages
3 Session Package
Sessions to be used within 2 months
Ideal if you have one to two specific matters to address. In our first session, I will gather the details of your current situation and recent history, and work with you to outline how best to address your goals. Examples of topics commonly covered during these sessions include but aren't limited to:
· whether divorce is right for you
· how to share with your spouse that you want a divorce
· how to tell kids about divorce
· general strategies and tips for surviving the process of divorce - logistically and emotionally
· strategic and emotional preparation for mediation or court
· how to set and enforce boundaries with a high-conflict spouse/ex
· strategies for effective documentation and communication
6 Session Package
Sessions to be used within 4 months
Ideal if you are beginning the divorce process or is in the middle of a divorce and anticipates needing a reasonable amount of emotional and strategic support. This package allows us to dive deeper into a wider array of topics including the above-mentioned as well as the following:
communication with a high-conflict ex
supporting the unique needs of your child during divorce and maintaining a child-centered mindset
understanding the stages of grief and learning how to develop effective coping skills for managing the emotions of divorce
how to develop and propose a reasonable parenting plan
setting expectations and preparing for the long game
12 Session Package
Sessions to be used within 6 months
Ideal if you anticipate a high-conflict divorce or consistently struggles with the overwhelm of divorcing a high-conflict individual. Issues tend to be ongoing and usually entail custody disputes, lies, abuse, betrayal, manipulation, coercive control, addiction, concerns of child safety and other serious matters. This package takes a comprehensive approach to address you as an individual, the needs of your child(ren), and the restorative process of healing. In doing the work, you can expect to reach a state of acceptance and embrace the idea of planning for a bright, beautiful future!
All-Access Retainer
Retainer spans a 6 month period
Ideal if you want a direct line of support and on-demand coaching for six months. This package will give you the opportunity for a total of twelve (12) sessions during the six-month period as well as the ability to communicate with me as needed via email and Voxer outside of scheduled sessions. Voxer is a free walkie talkie app that enables live voice and text sharing. You can expect to feel extremely supported and heard with this package, and well-prepared to address the divorce-related matters that come your way.
Single Session
While new clients are encouraged to gain the cost benefits and commitment of a package, a single session may be great for determining whether coaching is right for them.
Single sessions are ideal for clients who have already developed a coaching relationship with Meghan and have completed their coaching package, but have a spontaneous issue they would like to address. Typically, this would be a session to address something like a conflict with their co-parent, how to introduce a new partner to their child(ren), or a refresh on setting and enforcing boundaries.
Testimonials
“Meghan has been an absolute pleasure to go through this difficult time with. She has been such a guiding light in so many aspects of dealing with divorce but most importantly the constant reminder that it will all be ok and happiness is out there. Having someone that has been through this has been so refreshing for me, such a wonderful reminder that I’m not alone. Lastly, I feel like her Instagram posts are literally speaking directly to me! I have asked her multiple times are you talking to only me, it’s just too perfect! I think she is just constantly perfectly on point, wonderfully passionate, loving, caring and such a gift. Thank you for being you.”
“While most would likely assume a divorce coach will coach you through divorce, or encourage a divorce, there is more to it than that. Meghan isn’t one that sets out to encourage divorce. I was in individual and couples therapy during a challenging time of my marriage. I felt I needed something more outside of the therapy office. Someone that could help me implement best practices, someone that would check in on, someone I could easily reach out to. While I love my therapist, it wasn’t easy to connect with her outside of my appointment times. Meghan was there for me. I didn’t want to vent to friends and family. Meghan understood where I was coming from and was able to provide a neutral opinion of how to navigate some conflict between me and my spouse; while also holding me accountable to put into practice some tips from my therapist. Meghan is like big sister holding your hand irregardless of what your outcome might be.”
