Therapist to help with a separation
Hello Everyone,
My husband and I thinking of separating. Our marriage has become toxic and I am not sure it is even salvageable. But we have teens in the house and want at least to see someone. I was hoping people could share experiences they have had with either Dr. Lisa Lancaster or Terrence Higgins M.F.T, as we have heard their names from friends. There is very little information about Dr. Lisa Lancaster (no website etc.). Any advice would help, including rates.

Hi there,
I haven’t heard of either of those providers but I cannot recommend Michael Schimek MFT enough (https://www.michaelschimekmft.com/index.html).
My husband and I saw him prior to getting married when we were at a crossroads of, do we move forward with this or do we split? His practical approach to couples therapy honestly saved us and set us up for success. When the pandemic hit, we went through another rough patch and saw him again and came out with more tools for our marriage.
I know this sounds like a yelp review but what I love about Mike is that he breaks down what might be going on between you and your partner into understandable metaphors with visual aides. He then provides practical tools when encountering a situation in real time so you can approach the it from a place of mutual understanding and respect for one another.
His rates are pretty reasonable, I feel like we’ve done a 6 pack of sessions for around $600.
I hope this helps!
