Cheryl Dillon, CPC

Certified Professional Coach

The end of a marriage is an incredibly difficult and painful experience that no one is truly prepared for.

Get the support you need to make informed
decisions during this critical life transition.

Whether you’re considering, or at the early, beginning stages of planning for divorce, it’s an emotional roller coaster filled with confusion, grief, and overwhelming uncertainty.

Divorce represents a monumental life transition that will impact every facet of your world – your finances, living situation, family dynamics, and emotional well-being. With so much at stake, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and unsure of where to even begin.

That’s where working with our compassionate Divorce Coach, Cheryl Dillon, can provide invaluable guidance and support during this trying time.

Not only has Cheryl been through a divorce of her own, but for over a decade, she has walked alongside countless individuals, empathetically coaching them through the complexities and heartbreak of separation and divorce. She deeply understands the challenges you’re facing and can help you navigate this critical time in your life.

Her insight enables her to ask guided questions so one can arrive at a deeper understanding of their needs with ownership of that journey.

It can be hard to sift through the noise of what’s going on around you and Cheryl is masterful at listening and then helping you synthesize your thoughts into a cohesive plan for moving forward in a positive new way. I am grateful for her thoughtful participation in the process of making a major change in my life.”

Considering Divorce

When your path forward feels unclear

You’ve always been the one your family counts on—resilient, caring, and devoted. But now, considering divorce has brought you into unfamiliar territory that challenges your emotional foundation. This decision can feel overwhelming, and that’s completely natural.

The mental and emotional weight you’re carrying right now might include:

Questions about your decision:

  • Uncertainty about whether ending your marriage is the right choice
  • Concerns about how divorce might affect your children
  • Fears about future regrets or second-guessing yourself

Concerns about life after divorce:

  • Financial stability for yourself and your children
  • Possible career adjustments to maintain your lifestyle
  • Housing security and maintaining your home
  • Reactions from your support network
  • Your children’s emotional well-being and relationship with you

Worries about staying in your current situation:

  • The emotional toll of remaining in an unfulfilling relationship
  • Whether further efforts can improve your marriage
  • The example your relationship sets for your children

Finding clarity when everyone has an opinion

You may have sought advice from those close to you, yet still feel uncertain. Well-meaning friends and family offer perspectives based on their experiences—not your unique situation and needs.

Perhaps you’ve consulted with an attorney, only to find their approach focused more on conflict than resolution. Their strategy might have felt misaligned with your values, leaving you questioning if the legal battle is worth the emotional and financial cost.

Break free from indecision

Living in this state of uncertainty is exhausting. You deserve better than feeling trapped between difficult choices.

The decision to divorce or recommit to your marriage requires careful consideration of complex emotional, practical, and financial factors. With the right professional support, you can develop the clarity and confidence to make choices aligned with your values and best interests.

Get personalized support and the real-world knowledge you need to get a handle on what a divorce could mean for you financially, emotionally, and personally.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No, coaching is NOT the same as therapy.

Therapy is a healing profession that typically focuses on the past. It’s about processing your emotional history or diagnosing and treating mental health issues and the therapist uses their expertise to help you work through unhealed emotional traumas – “why” things happened.

Coaching is about the present and the future. It shifts the emphasis from “why” to “how to,” keeping focus on the current situation and actively developing plans for the future.

Coaching is completely private, safe and confidential. Cheryl follows the ethical guidelines and professional standards set forth by the International Coach Federation (ICF).
Private, on-on-one coaching sessions are conducted via phone or video conferencing (Zoom.)
To schedule a coaching session, simply complete the form on this page. After you’ve paid for your session, you will see a link to Cheryl’s calendar where you can choose a date/time that works well for you.
