Debra is a seasoned trauma therapist with knowledge and experience working with clients who have experienced early childhood trauma, domestic violence, sexual assault and other traumatic events. She is trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, interventions that promote healing from trauma and abuse. Debra is also a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor. She can assist individuals to navigate leaving a partner who is actively using substances, and support individuals who want to decrease or stop their use of substances. She works individually with adults and is currently licensed to practice in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. She offers in person and virtual sessions.

Elizabeth Semrod

Licensed Therapist, Co-parent Counselor & Child Custody Evaluator

Princeton, New Jersey6096085304

Divorce and separation are difficult, but they don't have to define your family's future. I'm Elizabeth, and I specialize in counseling divorced families and co-parents, with one primary focus: I'm always on your child's side. My approach is entirely child-centered and future-focused. I help parents navigate the complex emotions of divorce—like anger, grief, and fear—and channel that energy into a collaborative, effective co-parenting relationship that prioritizes their children's well-being. We work together to reduce conflict and create a stable, consistent environment across both households. In our sessions, we address practical challenges such as: Establishing Healthy Communication: Learning "business-like" or "mailman talk" to keep interactions neutral and focused strictly on the children, avoiding past grievances. Conflict Resolution & Decision-Making: Developing strategies for making joint decisions about child-rearing, living arrangements, and schedules in a way that minimizes stress and models healthy problem-solving for your kids. Creating Consistency: Developing a clear, detailed co-parenting plan that provides the routine and predictability children need to thrive in a two-home family. Emotional Support: Guiding you in processing your own emotions so they don't interfere with your parenting decisions. I have 20 years of experience as a child and family therapist, and my background includes specific training in child development, family mediation, and parenting evaluations,which allows me to provide expert guidance on how various options impact your children. My goal is to equip you with the tools to transition from former spouses to effective co-parents, setting your family up for success in the next chapter. If you are committed to putting your child's needs first and creating a healthier family dynamic, I can help. Ready to build a stronger future for your family?

Dr. Elana Hoffman

Clinical Psychologist and Divorce Coach

Washington, DC3019417588

I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist who believes divorce isn't the end of the story — it's often the beginning of a better one. Specializing in divorce and relationship transitions, I help people do the real work of understanding themselves so they can build the relationships they actually deserve. As someone who has navigated divorce myself, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work. I have a particular passion for helping men make sense of what went wrong — not to assign blame, but to build the self-awareness and confidence they need to show up differently in their next chapter. Through therapy and dating coaching, I help clients move from confusion and heartbreak to clarity and genuine readiness for what comes next. I'm also the author of So, Your Wife Left You… Now What? and the host of Talk Relationship to Me — a podcast where I get refreshingly honest about the full arc of relationships, from sex and intimacy to heartbreak, healing, and everything we're usually too polite to say out loud.

Kimberly Lorah

Kimberly Lorah

Divorce Coach / Licensed Therapist

Asbury Park, NJ201-903-0240

Divorce is hard. I know—because I’ve been there. When my own 23 year marriage ended, I felt lost, overwhelmed, and unsure who I was anymore. In my career as a therapist, I was guiding others through life’s hardest transitions—but my own divorce was different. It shook me to my core. That experience reshaped not only my life, but also my purpose. I’m Kimberly Lorah, and I help people navigate divorce. I combine over twenty-five years of professional expertise as a licensed therapist and certified divorce coach with my lived experience as a divorced, single mom to help others heal through and rebuild after divorce. I understand the grief, confusion, and self-doubt that come with this transition—and I know how to help you move through it with clarity, confidence, and courage. My Integrative Life Transition Framework is the foundation of my work. This approach blends the insight of therapy with the action-oriented tools of coaching. I help client navigate divorce recovery by aligning their Head, Heart, and Self, bringing together clearer thinking, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of identity. Divorce recovery isn’t just about moving on; it’s about integrating what was, accepting what is, and creating what comes next. Through empathy, structure, and evidence-based practices, I guide clients to calm the chaos, reconnect with their inner strength, and design a future that feels grounded and authentic. Divorce may have changed your story, but it doesn’t define your future. I help you find steadiness in the storm, peace in the process, and the courage to create your “Happily Ever After, Part 2.” Your marriage may have ended, but your life is not over.h
