Welcome
Experiencing the end-results of Divorce or Separation?
If you are experiencing the end-results of divorce or separation, then you have come to the right place. As you may have noticed, divorce puts an end to your marriage, but not to the underlying issues and conflicts between the two partners and their children. These are issues you will still have to face and solve if, ultimately, your goal is to move on. And when children are involved, problem-solving within a family gets that much more complicated.
Learn How To Live Divorced
Dr. Stark's goal is to enable both parents and children with the necessary solutions to some of the most commonly seen problems in divorce today.* With the proper tools, you and your children can transition better between homes and phases, and learn to live with each other--albeit separately.
Dr. Stark provides the following court-ordered services:
- Child Custody Evaluations
- Court-Ordered Reunification
- Case Management
- Court-Ordered Individual Therapy For Children
- Co-Parenting Therapy
In recent years, Dr. Stark published three books about self-esteem, Whole Heart for Girls, Whole Heart for Young Women, and Whole Heart for Boys to help children feel good about themselves. Dr. Stark is also the author of illustrated children's stories. The Fairy Godmother Next Door book series includes The Fairy Godmother Babysits and the upcoming 2019 publication of The Fairy Godmother Helps the Monarchs.

You are More Than: A Primer for Finding Light in Your Heart
The beautifully illustrated children's book explains with clear examples “who you are is more than what you see on the outside.” The book gives children and teens an opportunity to explore how they are part of the world around them.
