Children respond to divorce in different ways and sometimes behavioral symptoms will not appear until one parent remarries or families are blended.

Counseling offers children and teens a place where they can have reasonable control that they did not have in reality. Divorce counseling for children helps children grieve the loss of their house, belongings, family, and traditions and begin to adjust to new changes.
