Counseling for Fathers:

Assistance transitioning through divorce and no longer having daily contact with your children.


Mental Wellness Assistance for Fathers


Societal stigma makes it difficult for men to ask for help. Fatherhood can be a lonely experience for many, where the instinct is to suppress emotions in the name of "manhood".


For divorced fathers, the emotional toil can be even more difficult. You got married and had children with the expectation that you would spend the next 18+ years having breakfast and dinner with your children every day, helping them with their homework, being a daily part of their lives.


With divorce, that dream is lost. Even the most civil separations of marriage result in no more than 50% time spent with the children by either parent. Sadly in most divorce cases for fathers, the time awarded with their children is much less than 50%.


At Counseling Today, we help fathers transition through and post-divorce by treating divorce for what it is: the loss of a future you thought you would have.


Our sessions are aimed at helping fathers navigate divorce from the perspective of grief counseling. We work with you to not only engage with the emotional aspect, but help build practical coping strategies to manage the loss of the family structure, the anxiety regarding financial issues and socialization difficulties.
