Suzanne C Doherty, PhD (Psychological Professional)
I am a seasoned psychologist with many years experience working with families. I embrace the Collaborative Divorce process because it provides a safe space in which a couple determines what is best for the family and in which each can learn the skills necessary to support a healthy parenting relationship long after the divorce. It is a process that encourages growth and in which children may experience the least negative impact of the divorce of their parents.

  • General Comments
    For many years I have witnessed the destructive effects of the adversarial divorce process on children and their parents. I have firmly believed that this life transition does not belong in the court system but did not have the imagination to take it to the next step. So it was with great excitement that I discovered the collaborative divorce model and look forward with enthusiasm to make it a powerful extension of my practice.
