Divorce brings change for the entire family and for kids and teens, it can come with emotions they may not fully understand or know how to express.
So, what does your child need from you during this transition?

In our latest blog, Counseling Works therapist Erica Hallmann, MSW, LSW, shares three meaningful ways parents can support their children through separation and divorce:

🤍 Let them have ALL the feelings - even the ones that may be difficult for you to hear.
🤍 Give them some control back - small choices can make a difference when so much of life feels outside of their control.
🤍 Meet them where they are - connection doesn’t have to be complicated. Take an interest in what they love and make space to simply be together.

As Erica reminds parents, your child doesn’t need you to have everything figured out or make the divorce perfect. They need to know they are loved, heard, and still have a safe place to be themselves.

And sometimes, having another trusted person in their corner can help. Therapy can give children and teens a safe space to process their emotions, ask questions, develop healthy coping skills, and talk openly without worrying about managing a parent’s feelings.

Read the full blog by Erica Hallmann, MSW, LSW, for more guidance on helping children navigate divorce and other major family changes.

Today some of our Counseling Works clinicians are at District 203’s Career Motive-8 event, talking with 8th graders about careers in counseling and therapy.

We’re loving every conversation so far. Helping people feel heard and find their way through hard moments is some of the most fulfilling work there is, and it’s a joy to give students a window into it.

Thank you, District 203, for including us, and to all the curious students stopping by our table - keep those great questions coming! 🌟

Meet Amanda Casey, LPC, PMH-C, CADC, CTP. 🤍

Becoming a parent can bring so much joy, but it can also bring fear, grief, overwhelm, and changes you may not have expected. Amanda understands just how complex this season can be.

Before becoming a therapist, Amanda worked as a full-spectrum doula, supporting families through pregnancy, birth, loss, and the early weeks of parenthood. That experience ultimately inspired her to become a therapist and provide the kind of compassionate, affirming support she saw so many parents needing.

Today, as a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional, Amanda combines that unique background with a trauma-informed, client-centered approach to help clients navigate:

• Perinatal & maternal mental health
• Life changes & transitions
• Trauma & PTSD
• Grief & loss
• Stress & mood disorders
• Self-esteem challenges

Amanda works with young adults and adults at our Lemont and Naperville locations, creating a space where clients can move at their own pace, feel truly heard, and find tools that support healing and growth.

When we hear the word grief, we often think of losing someone we love. But grief can show up in so many other moments, too.

It can be the quiet house after a child leaves for college. The end of a relationship, even one you knew needed to end. The loss of a beloved pet who was woven into your everyday life. Or simply realizing that a chapter you once knew has come to a close.

We don’t always give ourselves permission to call these experiences what they are: loss.
Grief is a natural part of change, transition, and letting go. And acknowledging it doesn’t mean you’re stuck in the past, it means you’re giving yourself space to process what mattered.

In our October newsletter, we’re talking about the many ways grief can show up throughout our lives and what it can look like to move through those transitions with a little more understanding and grace for yourself. 🤍

Grief has no timeline, and feeling “stuck” is a common experience, often referred to as complicated grief, where the intense pain feels persistent and unchanging. Therapy offers a supportive path to help you process your loss and gently integrate it into your life, so you can begin to move forward.

Giving yourself space to acknowledge what you're feeling matters. Contact our team today.
