What is a Divorce Coach and Why Do I Need One?

A Divorce Coach is a licensed mental health professional with specialty training in collaborative law and/or family mediation, as well as parenting and children’s issues that surround a divorce. Coaching is not therapy and does not replace the need for therapy and does not give legal advice or replace the need for an attorney.
