Beth Karassik is a Family Specialist/Divorce Coach and Child Specialist in the Collaborative Practice of Divorce and a trained mediator who often co-mediates separations/divorces with other professionals. In her Divorce and Separation practice, she brings a deep appreciation, based on personal experience, of the impact of divorce on families and couples. Beth’s expertise as a neuropsychologist gives her insight into how emotions like loss, uncertainty, and fear affect thinking and decision-making during difficult times like divorce. Her own divorce and experience of co-parenting and other losses deepened her understanding of the challenges involved in this transitional time for families. As a clinical psychologist trained in Discernment Counseling, Mediation, and Collaborative Divorce she works with people at all stages of contemplating or entering into the divorce/separation process. Her recent experiences of family members’ deaths and subsequent training as a Grief Educator now also inform her work with clients’ experiences of the losses inherent in separation and divorce.

Dr. Karassik is a member of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals, President of Divorce Solutions of Connecticut and a member of the Collaborative Divorce Team of CT. She is co-chair of the Connecticut Council for Non-adversarial Divorce Professional Development Committee and a Board and Executive Committee member of CCND.

She is committed to supporting children, adults, and families in having their lives align with their values, serve their best interests, and be expressions of what matters most to them.
