Support for fathers navigating separation, divorce, custody and the weight of single parenthood in Tribeca
Divorce can leave fathers feeling like they’re navigating a life they never expected—alone. You're suddenly responsible for managing everything from school pickups to emotional meltdowns, often while carrying your own heartbreak. There’s a deep pressure to be strong, steady, and unfazed, but inside, you may feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure of how to move forward..

At Ronee Miller Counseling in Tribeca, NYC, I work with fathers who are doing their best—but are quietly struggling. You may not be talking about it, but you’re feeling it: the weight of new responsibilities, the grief of a life that’s changed, and the fear of what’s ahead.
Therapy offers you a place to set that weight down. To speak honestly. To breathe

Therapy for Divorced Dads in Tribeca
Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about creating a space where you can be honest about what this season of life is really like. No judgment. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just room to talk, to feel, and to begin again.
Many fathers I work with say they didn’t realize how much they were carrying until they heard themselves say it out loud. Therapy allows you to reconnect with your values, explore your identity post-divorce, and show up more fully for yourself and for your children.
You Don’t Have to Prove Anything
There’s a cultural script that tells men they need to “man up” and move on. That vulnerability is weakness. That parenting through pain should be silent.
I believe the opposite is true.
Vulnerability is strength. Fatherhood is emotional. And this transition deserves your full attention and care.
You Are Trying Harder Than Anyone Sees
You’re waking up early, packing lunches, responding to texts from your ex about school logistics, managing your own stress about money, and still trying to be present with your kids at the end of the day. No one sees the internal checklist that never ends. No one sees how many times you’ve bitten your tongue to keep the peace.
Just because you're making it look manageable doesn’t mean it’s not costing you something.
Therapy is a space where you don’t have to keep performing strength. You can talk about how hard it is. How tired you are. How you’re not sure if you’re doing it “right.” You can be seen.
Supporting Your Children Through the Emotional Impact of Divorce
Divorce isn’t just difficult for you—it’s a profound shift for your children. Even when handled with love and care, it can feel like the foundation of their world has been shaken. Children may not have the words to express their grief, but they feel it deeply, often showing it through behavior, mood changes, or withdrawal.
Being physically present is important—but being emotionally available is what your children will remember most. That means tuning in to their fears, giving them space to talk, and offering reassurance without needing to “fix” everything. It also means being emotionally grounded yourself—something therapy can help you cultivate.
