Isolina Ricci

A divorce can be stressful and painful, especially when unexpected or unwanted.  Yet, legal and private decisions must be made, people have to negotiate new beginnings, and the heart needs tender care.  Even remarriage can be stressful, especially for children.  Dr. Isolina Ricci, a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than 30 years experience, offers ways to honor personal strengths, protect the children, and successfully manage these challenging transitions. She works as a confidential consultant to attorneys, provides continuing education to professionals, and consults and counsels parents and families.
