What Is Divorce Counseling?
Divorce is never an easy process, and it often comes with a variety of mental health challenges for everyone involved, including anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Whether you and your partner are considering divorce, have started the process, or have already separated, Hollie Therapy and Counseling offers divorce counseling guided by trained professionals to help you navigate your new family dynamic. Our role is not to guide you to a specific outcome in your relationship, but to create a sense of peace and cooperation between partners, even as you go your separate ways. We also specialize in family therapy, individual mental health counseling, and adolescent therapy for children and teens affected by divorce. As a Black-owned mental health practice serving Chicago, IL, we offer a safe, inclusive space free of judgment. Schedule a telehealth or in-office consultation at one of our Hyde Park or South Loop locations to learn more about our divorce counseling services.
How Does Divorce Counseling Work?
Our Chicago, IL therapists provide both individual and joint divorce counseling. During your first session, we'll discuss where your relationship stands, how you communicate with your partner, and goals for your family moving forward, including topics like co-parenting. Throughout each appointment, we focus on creating a calm environment and encouraging constructive communication without assigning blame. In some cases, we may recommend family therapy to provide support for children affected by divorce and give every member space to voice their concerns and learn how to navigate what is often a difficult transition. Individual mental health counseling and cognitive behavioral therapy are also available to help patients manage anxiety, trauma, and other conditions that often come with divorce.
What Are the Benefits of Divorce Counseling?
While no marriage ever starts with divorce as the goal, it can sometimes be the best step for your family to move toward a healthier future. Divorce counseling at Hollie Therapy and Counseling is designed to help ease that process and create more hopeful outcomes, providing benefits that may include:
- Providing a safe, supportive space to process emotions related to separation or divorce
- Helping patients navigate major life changes
- Encouraging healthy coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and sadness
- Opening healthier channels of communication between former spouses
- Supporting more effective co-parenting and decision-making for shared children
- Identifying unhealthy patterns in your relationship so you can address them
- Providing guidance for children and family members during a difficult transition
Hollie Therapy and Counseling Reviews
Great staff, great doctor, extremely patient and gives you the tools to be honest with yourself and build a true loving relationship or leave it alone. He doesn't play favorites or sides. One of the best counseling for a couple that we've ever experienced.
The consistent care and professionalism received from Dr. Brandon and his team has been top tier since we began nearly a year ago. He is patient, detailed and doesn’t miss anything. He is passionate about his work and it shows. Nays is also always attentive, responsive and is intentional in making sure clients feel supported. I have referred several friends and family and will continue doing so.

My experience with Dr. Hollie was exceptional! Through our work together, I’ve learned how to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict. One of the biggest changes I’ve noticed in myself is how much better I’ve become at truly listening and understanding the emotions behind words!Dr. Hollie created a safe, supportive space. He gave me the tools to build stronger, healthier relationships, set healthy boundaries & show up more fully! If you are looking for a therapist who is exceptionally competent, compassionate & insightful, I would highly recommend Hollie Therapy!
Dr. Hollie’s professionalism and dedication to his clients is truly commendable. He demonstrates a deep understanding of psychological principles and applies them with empathy and skill. His ability to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment fosters trust and allows his clients to open up and grow.
