JTBParticipantMy recommendation is that you thoroughly research the qualifications, experience and recommendations for anyone you consider. Unless you are the victim of domestic abuse, I would imagine a good therapist will start with helping you assess what your reasons are for wanting a divorce in the first place then working through what will be a challenge and an opportunity. Are you willing to go to Bellevue?

HRT45MemberThanks for the reply, JTB. I would prefer to find someone here in WS, but for the right therapist I’d be willing to go to Bellevue. Is there someone you’d recommend?

LisaParticipantI can personally recommend Linda Anderson http://lindalanderson.com/
She helped me gain some clarity, without pushing me in any specific direction when I was struggling with ‘the beginning of the end’ of my marriage last year.
I know first hand how difficult a process it is… I’m still pretty much in the thick of it. Though it’s far from easy… it certainly is worthwhile.
Good luck with everything.

JTBParticipantHRT45,
I’m not able to put the name forward in an open forum like this due to issues of client-therapist confidentiality. If there is a private message feature on this forum I haven’t discovered how it works, so if that’s an option please fill me in.

SueParticipantHRT45, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m divorced a year now, and two years ago I started seeing Laura Tsang who is on 41st between Alaska and Edmunds. She’s been really great and helpful and helped me to sort things out before, during and after the divorce. http://lauratsang.com She is also an in-network provider for Premera (don’t know about others), if that’s relevant to you.
I wanted to say that I also felt very stuck at the beginning of the process and wasn’t sure what I wanted. Time and therapy helped me to sort stuff out. Good luck to you.

miwsParticipantJTB, There is no longer a PM function here on the Forums, but if one of you is willing to post an email addy, that might work. Perhaps create a “disposable” (like gmail) addy just for this.
In any case, be sure to take the proper precautions of typing it out with any combination of safeguards such as spelling out “at”, and/or “dot, and/or putting spaces in your posting of the addy.

PangolinPieParticipantHRT45, I’ve been through a divorce too, after an almost 20-year marriage and I may be able to relate to a lot of what you’re going through right now. If you’d like to email me I’d be glad to talk – me email address is my name on this forum, at gmail dot com. (I’m female, late 40s, if it’s a concern.)
In any case, know that it takes time but once you’re through the worst of it, things do get better.

lindaParticipantI highly recommend Laurie McKechnie here in West Seattle. I worked with her after my divorce and through a couple of other life changing events. I really appreciated her ability to guide me through these events, gaining clarity, accepting responsibility and eventually, moving forward with my life and not allowing past events to be the determinants of my future.
