I help people going through divorce to:

Reduce emotional distress and anxiety: Associated with conflicts with your ex-spouse, the judicial process and/or the decisions of your lawyer or anyone else involved in the process.

Reduce Anger: Reduce the feeling and consequences of getting flooded by anger and making choices that you may later regret or that may sabotage you in your divorce process and court rulings.

Reduce feelings of powerlessness and helplessness: Get help in healing trauma caused by months or years of abuse or high conflict leading up to the divorce, so that you can feel stronger and think more clearly as you now go through the divorce or the aftermath of that process. Get clear, strong and empowered to handle each step along the way as effectively as possible!

Treat Post-Traumatic Stress Symptoms: Many people feel betrayed not just by their ex-partner but also by the judicial system. Losing faith in justice can be a shock to a person’s feelings of safety and their belief in fairness and morality. It can result in PTSD-like symptoms of anxiety, paralysis, hyper
vigilance and even panic attacks.

Avoid getting baited or bullied: Learn to recognize and avoid communication exchanges that will become triggering, will cause anger and possibly lead to behaviors that you will later regret.

Reduce Self-Sabotaging behavior: Learn how to reduce emotional dysregulation long enough to make better choices, how to stay calm and in control for your own well-being.

Improve Communication: Learn how to communicate effectively, to achieve your primary goals, and how to avoid putting things in writing that you will later regret.

Avoid Depression and Emotional Exhaustion: Learn how to relate to yourself with compassion and self-care, no matter what is happening around you. Learn how to generate hope and optimism when you are feeling down.

Safeguard your children’s emotional development: Learn to proactively avoid situations that will lead to arguments that can damage your children’s social and emotional development.

Strengthen relationship with children: Learn effective communication skills with children that assure them that they are safe and their relationship with you is sturdy, loving and trustworthy.

Preserve an as healthy and cooperative as possible relationship with your ex-partner/co-parent: Learn new patterns of communication and behavior that will preserve as much peace and sense of family as possible, regardless of the divorce.

Plan the next chapter of your life! Break Free from the pain and anger of divorce, design your new life, reclaim your peace, and step into a brighter future!

Hi, I’m Dr. Alina

Since I obtained my doctorate in clinical psychology from Yeshiva University in 2005, I have accrued an additional 20 years of post-doctoral training in a variety of the most effective, evidence-based approaches for helping people “rewire” self-sabotaging perspectives and conditioned behaviors into much more empowered methods for ensuring better relationships and outcomes for themselves in all areas of life. I am trained in methods such as hypnotherapy/ hypnosis, EMDR, DBT as well as other mind/body approaches for psychological healing. I have spent my career working in private practice, as a school psychologist in private schools, as a parent coach and also in DBT therapy centers.

Throughout my career in psychology, I have worked with many clients who have gone through difficult divorces and very difficult journeys through the family court system. I have tread this path personally as well, and learned firsthand how anxiety producing, shocking and unfair this process can be. It has become a great purpose in my life to use my skills and experience in psychology to help others be able to navigate this daunting process with less anger, fear and anxiety and with more sanity and confidence.

The healing you will acquire and skills you will learn in therapy will help to set you free from the mistakes of the past and will help you build the future that you want to build for yourself and your children!
