Divorce is More Than a Legal Process
Divorce is not just about signing papers or attending court dates. It’s a deeply emotional journey that impacts nearly every part of your life. From the uncertainty of change to the pain of loss, it often stirs intense feelings—grief, guilt, anger, confusion, and fear.
That’s where divorce coaching comes in.
At Consenso Mediation, Mediator Michaele Gantz offers personalized divorce coaching that supports individuals emotionally and strategically through the process. Whether you’re in the early stages of separation or knee-deep in legal proceedings, her coaching provides the guidance and grounding needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Why Emotions Run High During Divorce
Even in amicable situations, divorce creates a ripple of emotional upheaval. For many, it triggers a fight-or-flight response. Everyday conversations become loaded. Decision-making becomes exhausting. And when children are involved, the stakes feel even higher.
You may feel like you’re supposed to “keep it together” when internally, you’re struggling. Friends and family may offer support, but they don’t always understand the complexity of what you’re going through.
That’s exactly why working with a trained divorce coach like Michaele Gantz can be so powerful. She helps you identify and process your emotions, not ignore them. Instead of reacting from pain or fear, clients learn to respond with focus, maturity, and calm.
Divorce Coaching: Emotional Support With Practical Impact
What sets divorce coaching apart from therapy or legal counsel is its unique blend of emotional guidance and action planning. Divorce coaching focuses on the here and now—what you’re dealing with emotionally and what choices lie ahead.
Michaele Gantz creates a supportive environment where clients feel heard and understood. She listens without judgment and helps you sort through the grief, anxiety, or anger that might otherwise sabotage your progress.
By gaining emotional stability, you’re able to show up to mediation or legal appointments with a clearer mind. You’ll make better decisions and communicate more effectively—which leads to smoother outcomes for everyone involved.
A Strategic Partner Through Any Divorce Process
Not every divorce is the same. Some are handled in mediation, others in court, and some people try to manage it themselves. But regardless of the path, divorce coaching offers consistent support.
At Consenso Mediation, Michaele Gantz works with clients in many different scenarios:
Individuals going through litigation: Coaching helps you stay centered and focused during a high-conflict or attorney-led divorce.
Self-representing parties: If you’re handling the process on your own, Michaele provides structure, feedback, and clarity.
People not ready or able to mediate: Even if mediation isn’t the right fit, coaching is still a powerful resource to navigate the emotional and logistical challenges ahead.
Divorce coaching doesn’t replace a lawyer, but it complements their work by preparing you emotionally and strategically. You’ll be able to get more value out of your legal representation because you’ll be clearer about your needs and goals.
Coaching Reduces Conflict—and Saves Money
Let’s face it: divorce litigation is expensive. Every disagreement, every miscommunication, and every unresolved issue can drag out the process and drive up the cost.
A divorce coach helps clients approach negotiations and conversations with a calmer mindset and a plan. With Michaele’s guidance, clients clarify their values and priorities. They feel more prepared walking into mediation or court, which helps reduce the number of disputes and delays.
Less drama = fewer billable hours = significant savings.
Moreover, by lowering emotional reactivity and encouraging constructive communication, divorce coaching helps prevent future conflicts—especially important if children are involved and co-parenting is on the horizon.

Building a Stronger Future, One Step at a Time
Divorce is the end of one chapter—but it’s also the beginning of a new one. Divorce coaching helps you start that next chapter with clarity and purpose.
