Beverly Jewell, MA, NCC
Professional Counselor
Divorce Coach

I have been working as a counselor and life coach in my private practice, Essential Focus Consulting, since 1995, specializing in relationship issues and life-transitions such as marriage, divorce, and mid-life crisis for men and women.

In the Collaborative Divorce team approach, my goal is to help families get through the divorce process in a respectful, amicable way. As a divorce coach, I specialize in communication skills, conflict resolution and phase of life transition. My role on the team is to help clients manage their anxiety in stressful situations, make clear informed decisions, build on their inner strength, and begin to create a new life for themselves. If there are children, I help develop a co-parenting plan so their children can continue to thrive with the love and support of both parents. As a case manager, I bring organization, structure, and insight to help keep the case moving forward.

I am a member of IACP (the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals), ACA (American Counseling Association), CDSOC (Collaborative Divorce Solutions - Orange County) and have completed over 40 collaborative divorce cases.
