Do you work with both men and women?
​
Yes — absolutely. Divorce is one of life's most challenging transitions regardless of gender. The Divorce Doula supports men, women, and individuals of all identities who are navigating separation or divorce in Pennsylvania.

​
How much do your services cost?
​
Because every divorce is different, this is an investment in the support, clarity, and protection you need during a major life transition. Services are customized to your specific situation and goals, and pricing is discussed during your free 30‑minute consultation so Elizabeth can understand your circumstances and design a support package that truly fits your stage of the process. There is no one‑size‑fits‑all fee and no sales pressure—just a thoughtful conversation about what you need and how to best support you.

​
​
Who are your Strategic Partners?​
​
Strategic partners are trusted professionals who serve clients navigating divorce or life transitions. This includes family law attorneys, financial advisors, real estate agents, therapists, mediators, CPAs, mortgage professionals, and wellness providers. The Divorce Doula builds a curated network so clients have a strong, coordinated support system throughout the process
​
How do you refers clients to Strategic Partners?​
Referrals are always intentional and personalized, never a mass list. When a client needs a specific service, Elizabeth introduces them directly to the right partner based on that client's unique needs, stage of divorce, location, and situation. Referrals come with context — partners aren't receiving cold leads, they're receiving prepared, relationship-ready clients​
​
How do you set expectations for clients before they meet with us?​
Before a referral is made, Elizabeth works with clients to:
-
Understand what each professional's role is and what they can and cannot do
-
Process emotional reactivity so they arrive more grounded and focused
-
Clarify their goals and the questions most important to them
-
Understand the value of the partner's time (especially important for billable professionals)
The goal is for clients to arrive at your door ready to work — not to work through grief and confusion on your clock
​
How do you set expectations for clients before they meet with us?​
The most effective partnerships are built on communication, trust, and defined lanes. Here's how collaboration typically works:
-
Clear role boundaries: You handle your professional domain. Elizabeth handles the emotional and logistical support that surrounds it.
-
Open channels: Partners can flag if a client seems emotionally stuck or unprepared — Elizabeth can step in to support before your next session.
-
Mutual referrals: When you encounter a client who is overwhelmed, indecisive, or emotionally flooded, referring them to The Divorce Doula helps them make better use of your time and theirs.
-
Shared goal: We both want the client to reach resolution with dignity and clarity
