For many people, mediation is just one piece of the overall divorce process. If you are hoping to make your divorce as amicable as possible, divorce counseling might be your best next step. In counseling, you can feel heard and supported as you explore the reasons behind the divorce. You can also investigate what you and your ex-spouse need to work through lingering hurts and maintain healthy communication, especially if you have children. You can also develop the skills necessary for healing, working through sensitive issues and building new, fulfilling relationships. In fact, no matter what issue you’re facing, counseling can help you effectively resolve the root cause.
