The Value of Partnering with a Divorce Coach

As a social work therapist, I’ve helped clients connect how their past experiences were contributing to their present struggles. As an attorney, my sole objective is to achieve favorable court orders for clients. These roles have competing interests, but are important in their own right.

As your Divorce Coach & Consultant, I’ll meet with you 1:1 to help you achieve your divorce or custody goals by offering expert support, motivation, and guidance during any or every stage of your divorce or custody journey. Throughout the coaching process I’ll use Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to empower you to the change self-defeating thought patterns and behaviors that are preventing you from being the best version of yourself during this uniquely challenging time. 

For a more in-depth understanding of the differences between a divorce coach, therapist, and attorney, please see below: 

Divorce Coach: Divorce coaches educate you about the divorce process as well as help you create future goals for each stage of your divorce or custody journey. The focus is future oriented. My unique approach combines the law and counseling techniques to help you maintain your mental wellbeing, amicably work with your spouse or ex, achieve favorable legal outcomes, and safeguard your child(ren) during this uniquely challenging time.

Therapist: Therapists focus on your past, and linking your past experiences to your present struggles. The focus is on the past, which can be beneficial for individual counseling purposes. However, narrowly focusing on the past in divorce or custody litigation can result in really devastating consequences for you and your family.

Attorney: Attorneys focus on the law. That’s it. Your attorney doesn’t have the capacity to engage with you in the same way as your divorce coach or therapist does, which may come off as callous. But I know from experience that the average divorce attorney manages a caseload of forty (40) or more clients, which requires a methodical and disciplined use of his or her time that focuses on the law. This is where Joerika’s Coaching & Consulting can help. We offer the support and guidance that’s needed during your divorce or custody litigation, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in attorneys fees.
