Getting a divorce can be one of the most difficult experiences a couple goes through. While mediators and family law attorneys are a well-known part of many legal divorces, a number of lesser known-services can help make the process easier and less conflict-laden. Certified divorce coaching is one of those services.

It’s different from therapy, but it is also for both couples and individuals who need support and guidance outside the legal arena. We talk with Gwendoline Van Doosselaere with Artemis Divorce Coaching and DeLynn Shogren with A Better Way Divorce Solutions, who is also a certified divorce financial analyst. They share more about the kinds of clients they see, the services they provide and how their practices fit into the divorce system as a whole.
