Collaborative Divorce Counseling in Florida

Supporting Families Through Respectful and Healthier Transitions

Divorce is one of the most emotionally difficult transitions a family can face.

Even when it’s the right decision, it can stir grief, anger, fear, guilt, and uncertainty about the future — especially when children are involved.

At Seasons Psychotherapy Associates, we believe that while divorce changes families, it doesn’t have to destroy them.

With the right support, it’s possible to move through this transition with respect, care, and hope for healthier beginnings.

Divorce is the end of a chapter — not the end of your family’s story.

What Is Collaborative Divorce?

Collaborative divorce is an alternative to adversarial, court-driven divorce.

It brings together a team — attorneys, financial specialists, and mental health professionals — who work together to help families create thoughtful, cooperative solutions outside the courtroom.

At Seasons Psychotherapy Associates, Carol Mirones, LCSW, LMFT currently serves as our trained collaborative mental health facilitator.

As a member of the Collaborative Family Law Institute (CFLI), Carol works alongside collaborative attorneys and financial specialists to guide families through the emotional challenges of divorce, promote healthy communication, and keep the process centered around the well-being of everyone involved.

Pricing for collaborative divorce mental health services is discussed individually and handled through private pay, as this role is not covered by insurance.

While collaborative divorce work is specialized, all of our therapists at Seasons encourage and support clients in parenting through divorce with a child’s best interest at heart.

We help families understand that prolonged high-conflict divorce can have lasting negative effects on children’s mental health — contributing to issues like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trust challenges later in life.

Whenever possible, we support families in reducing conflict, protecting emotional safety, and prioritizing stability for children throughout the transition.

How Therapy Can Support You During Divorce

The emotional experience of divorce touches every aspect of life — identity, family roles, finances, routines, and relationships.

You may grieve the life you had, fear the unknowns ahead, struggle with anger or sadness, or feel overwhelmed by how to co-parent effectively in the aftermath.

Therapy during and after divorce offers a steady, compassionate place to:

• Process grief, anger, guilt, and fear
• Manage anxiety and the emotional rollercoaster that often accompanies major life changes
• Build skills for communicating with a former partner in healthier, more child-focused ways
• Navigate co-parenting, custody concerns, and transitions in a way that prioritizes your children’s emotional well-being
• Reclaim your sense of stability and rebuild a hopeful future

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Support makes a difference — not only for you, but for everyone you love.

Our Approach at Seasons Psychotherapy Associates

At Seasons, we tailor our approach to fit your family’s needs, your individual emotional needs, and the complexity of your situation.

For individual clients, our therapists provide supportive counseling using methods like Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to build practical coping skills, Narrative Therapy to help you reframe your experience with hope and strength, and emotionally-focused work to help process the grief, loss, and complicated emotions that naturally arise.

When children are involved, we work with parents to keep the focus firmly on the child’s emotional needs, promoting strategies that support security, predictability, and long-term mental health.
At Seasons Psychotherapy Associates, families know they will be met with compassion, skill, and understanding — not judgment.

We are committed to helping families move through divorce and transition periods with as much stability, empathy, and strength as possible.

We offer divorce-related therapy and support in-person at our offices in Davie, Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, and Tampa, and via secure telehealth across Florida.

Whether you are considering collaborative divorce or simply need emotional support while navigating change, we are here to walk with you.
