Why learn about divorce from Dr. D’Arienzo?
My work with divorce is not theoretical. I have spent decades working with families in clinical and forensic settings—as a board-certified clinical psychologist, forensic psychologist, Florida Supreme Court Family Mediator, Qualified Parenting Coordinator, Social Investigator/Custody Evaluator, reunification provider, expert witness, and national speaker.
I’ve seen what prolonged conflict does to parents and children, and I’ve also seen families adjust well when adults change how they communicate, set boundaries, and keep children out of the middle. That is the perspective behind these courses and the articles on this site.
