Divorce with a conscience and families rewoven with intention.
You’ve heard the horror stories and now you are living it. But it doesn’t have to be that way and you don’t have to do it alone. Work with me to boldly re-imagining what separation, divorce, co-parenting, re-marriage, and/or blending mean to your children, your relationships and your family.
Areas of Support
Specialized care for divorce, co-parenting and blended families.
Conscious Divorce and Co-parenting.
| Unlike traditional couples counseling, this therapy isn’t about saving the relationship. It’s for couples who want to end it consciously and intentionally, with healing closure, so they can protect their children and build a strong coparenting foundation for the family’s future. |
Thriving as a Single Parent.
What comes after the hardest season can be the most meaningful one. This counseling helps single parents move from holding everything together to building a life, and a family, they’re proud of.
Happy, Blended Families.
Blended and stepfamilies face challenges that regular counseling wasn’t built for. In a blended family, kids can feel torn between loyalties, step-parents can feel like outsiders, and couples get little time to build their own bond. This therapy helps families at any stage navigate it on purpose, and work as a team across households.
Divorce Mediation with a conscience.
When you have children, how you divorce matters as much as what you agree to. This mediation, led by a counselor who specializes in couples, families, and kids, helps you reach fair, lasting agreements on parenting and finances together, so you can protect your children and part in a way you can respect.
LGBTQIA+ couples and families.
When a chosen family faces a breakup, a blending, or coparenting across homes, there are few places that truly understand. This is therapy for queer, trans, and LGBTQ+ partners, parents, and families, with support that meets you where you are, without the explaining.
Hi, I’m Alex Wenzel. I help relationships heal and blended families thrive.
“When your life as you know it falls apart, it’s an incredible opportunity to wake up to your life and this world. My approach is built around the union of family systems theory with mindfulness, meditation and consciousness.”
I provide therapy for relationship endings that leave us in one piece. And therapy for next chapters built consciously. I work with couples, families and parents at the most crucial junctions of a family’s life: in the midst of separation, divorce, re-marriage, and blending families and co-parenting. When our relationships end, no one wants to live through the trauma of the legal system, personal betrayal, financial crisis, or the lasting impact on the well-being of our children as well as ourselves. But so many of us do because we don’t have the support or roadmap to do it differently.
And soon after that, we start off on our own as single parents or decide to remarry and begin blending families and step-parenting. We are soon blindsided again by the constant conflict and heartache that we had hoped was behind us. No one explains to us how incredibly hard it is to be a single parent or to try and blend our kids and families with another. We feel like a failure (again), lost, broken-hearted and alone.
It doesn’t have to be like this if we do things consciously and intentionally. Relationships can end well. Co-parents can really be partners that still love and care for their children together. New families can form that are stronger and more connected than the last.
I built the support I wish we would have had to navigate these junctions in ways that protect children and maintain the relationships and the support our families desperately need in the long run. And now I offer them to you.
