Denver

You can start divorce therapy at any point, even while your legal separation is still in progress. You don't have to wait until it’s over. It can affect many parts of your life, from your daily routine to your self-esteem. In therapy, you can talk about these changes and decide what kind of support would be most helpful.

Yes. Your former partner doesn’t have to attend divorce counseling with you. Individual sessions are your chance to focus on your own feelings, concerns, and experiences as you adjust to life during or after a split. 

Yes. The emotional impact of divorce often continues long after the legal process is over. You may still be dealing with grief, changes in family dynamics, or the challenge of building a life on your own. Our specialized divorce therapist in Denver provides a compassionate space to heal and plan for your future.

No. The decision to stay together or separate is entirely yours. Peter Tulaney offers Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce who aren't ready to make a final decision. This approach helps you explore your relationship with depth and clarity, without forcing a reconciliation.

You can talk about whatever is on your mind. Some common concerns include:

• Sadness about the end of your marriage

• Anger, guilt, hurt or feeling rejected

• Stress about the legal process and what comes next

• Changes in your family and relationships

• Concerns about trust or dating again

• Difficulty rebuilding trust in yourself and others

• Co-parenting

Your divorce therapist will take the time to understand your unique situation and help you identify what you'd like to focus on.

Your first appointment is a time to meet, share some background, and see if the dynamic feels right. Birch Psychology believes that building a secure therapeutic relationship takes time. After your initial intake, you'll typically have two or three weekly consultation sessions before setting formal goals.

Most therapy sessions at Birch Psychology take place weekly and last 45–50 minutes. You can discuss the frequency with your therapist based on your needs and goals.

Choose a therapist whose experience fits your current stage. If you and your partner are undecided about separating, Peter Tulaney offers specialized Discernment Counseling. If emotional disconnection is the main issue, Hannah Schriber uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). For individual support with grief, trauma, or anxiety after a divorce, Bridget Kromrey and Ali Argo provide tailored care.

We are an out-of-network provider and can’t bill your insurance directly. We can provide you with a superbill to send to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your plan.

Most of our clinicians participate in Medicaid networks through behavioral health organizations serving the local area. Please contact us to confirm whether your provider accepts your specific Medicaid plan.
