Coastal Counseling has assembled a staff of therapists specifically trained to assist families on the shoreline with the unique needs of families experiencing transition. 
Divorce, blending families and remarriage issues are some examples of such transition. By utilizing our services it is often easier to address the needs of all persons involved. We also assist individuals with the process of closure and assistance to begin to move forward.
Family Restructuring Sessions
Mental health professionals are trained to assist families in the redefining of roles following a major change in the structure of a family. Some of these changes include divorce, separation, the blending of two families, and remarriage. The approach is solution focused and family members can attend sessions with a counselor in their private office.
Co-Parenting/Child Specialist
This type of mediation can empower you to minimize the pain and stress of separation and divorce for your children. Visitation schedules are organized and formalized using the expertise of specially trained counselor. This is not therapy, as there is no clinical assessment or treatment provided. Coastal Counseling Associates is one of the founding members of Divorce Solutions of Connecticut.

Sessions are as frequent as requested and focus on the transition from present to the future. Goals of each individual are explored. The experience is solution focused, private and supportive. Create a solid foundation for a fresh start and enlist the expertise of a trained professional. Learn to empower yourself!
Counseling for Children of Divorce
When needed counseling can be an important intervention with children experiencing divorce. Frequently children blame themselves and can experience a full range of emotions such as rejection, fear, anger and confusion. Counselors are trained in family 
systems and behavioral approaches unique to children experiencing this major transition.
Counseling for Adult Children of Divorce
A parents' divorce can have an impact on a child that can last into adulthood. Issues such as intimacy, resolving conflict, commitment and trust are some areas which can be effected. If you feel that a divorce has had an impact on your relationships consider a private session.
