Understanding your options
What is divorce coaching?
Divorce coaching is a practical, goal-focused support service that helps people navigate the emotional, organizational, and day-to-day challenges of separation and divorce. A divorce coach is not a lawyer, therapist, or financial advisor. Instead, a coach helps you stay grounded, make informed decisions, communicate more effectively, and move through the process with greater clarity and confidence.
What a divorce coach helps with
- Clarifying your goals and priorities — identify what matters most to you, emotionally, financially, and for your family, so your decisions align with your values.
- Managing overwhelm and stress — stay organized, grounded, and focused on the next step instead of getting stuck in fear or confusion.
- Improving boundaries and communication — learn strategies for calmer, more productive conversations.
- Preparing for legal and mediation processes — organize information, prepare questions, and feel more confident before meetings with lawyers, mediators, or the court.
- Creating an action plan — break the process into manageable steps, set realistic goals, and keep momentum.
- Supporting personal growth — rebuild confidence, establish healthy boundaries, and create a clear vision for life after divorce.
What divorce coaching is not
- It is not legal advice and does not replace a lawyer.
- It is not therapy and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
- It is not financial advising and does not provide investment or tax advice.
A coach works alongside your other professionals, helping you apply information and decisions in a practical, personalized way.
Who divorce coaching is for
- People considering separation or divorce
- Individuals already in the divorce process
- Co-parents seeking better communication and stability
- Anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps
The goal is to help you move through divorce with more clarity, confidence, and emotional steadiness — so you can make thoughtful decisions and build a healthier next chapter. I can be your central sounding board alongside any other professionals you're working with.
What is faith-based separation mediation?
Faith-Based Separation Mediation is a voluntary process that helps individuals navigate separation and divorce with dignity, respect, and a commitment to faith-informed values. It provides a structured, supportive environment where parties can work through difficult decisions while pursuing peace, understanding, and practical solutions for the future.
Separation affects every aspect of life — emotional, relational, financial, and spiritual. Mediation offers a chance to have important conversations in a guided setting, helping parties move from conflict toward resolution while preserving as much respect and cooperation as possible. The goal is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help participants communicate effectively, find common ground, and reach mutually acceptable agreements about parenting, finances, property, and other family matters.
A faith-centered approach
At 66grace, mediation is guided by principles many Christians value — grace, compassion, honesty, accountability, wisdom, and peace-making. While the process is practical and solution-focused, it also recognizes that separation often comes with grief, uncertainty, and spiritual questions. Participation does not require agreement on every theological issue, nor is mediation meant to pressure either party toward reconciliation or a particular outcome. It simply offers a respectful environment where faith can be a source of guidance and hope.
What happens during mediation?
A mediator serves as a neutral facilitator who guides discussions and helps parties explore options for resolving disputes. The mediator does not take sides, make decisions for the parties, or provide legal advice. Topics commonly addressed include:
- Parenting and co-parenting arrangements
- Communication and conflict resolution
- Financial and property-related discussions
- Identifying areas of agreement and disagreement
- Developing practical solutions for the future
- Creating a framework for ongoing cooperation
Who is it for?
- Couples seeking a respectful alternative to court proceedings
- Individuals who want their faith and values considered during the process
- Parents committed to reducing conflict for their children
- Families seeking practical resolutions while maintaining dignity and respect
- Those looking for a more peaceful, collaborative path forward
Benefits of mediation
- Greater control over decisions affecting your family
- Reduced conflict and emotional stress
- Lower cost than litigation
- Improved communication and co-parenting relationships
- Increased privacy and confidentiality
- A more peaceful path through a difficult transition
In short: faith-based mediation combines the practical tools of family mediation with values of grace, respect, and peace — helping families navigate separation with clarity, dignity, and hope for the future.
