  • Divorce Coaching: Support Before, During & After

    Whether you started it or not, divorce can feel scary and overwhelming. And it can cause smart people to make dumb choices. With the right support, you can conquer your fears with knowledge, avoid big mistakes and make your divorce different for you and your family. You can be in charge of your own divorce process and have a better outcome.

    Divorce Coaching:

  • Exit Strategy Planning: Get Prepared and Ready to Go

    Planning ahead for divorce gives you the best chance to have a good divorce and protects you in case of a high-conflict divorce. Know when to leave, how to have that hard conversation and what to do in advance to prepare for the process. An exit strategy helps keep you understand what to expect, plan for safety, and ditch those divorce fears once and for all.

    Exit Strategy Planning

  • Pre-Mediation Coaching: Prepare for Success

    Are you looking for a kinder or less expensive alternative to the traditional litigation process? Or is mediation mandatory in your state? Even if you've had a power imbalance in your marriage, you can show up and advocate for yourself in mediation. I'll help you understand the process, prioritize your goals, develop proposals and get ready to negotiate those agreements.

Hi, I'm Debra

Like so many others, I stayed too long because I was afraid. Afraid I hadn't tried hard enough, afraid I couldn't support myself, afraid of what the divorce process would be like. And then I let fear make my divorce harder and more expensive than it needed to be.

But one day I woke up, reminded myself of my own power, and now I spend my days helping others do the same. I'm a CDC® Certified Divorce Coach, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, Ohio Supreme Court trained mediator, certified pastoral counselor, and author of High-Conflict Divorce for Women.

I've got the professional training and personal experience to help you make confident decisions during times when you know life needs to change or it takes an unexpected turn.

Recommendations and Results

  • I wish I'd have known of you before I filed for divorce two years ago! Of all the thousands of dollars that have been spent so far on various attorneys for everyone involved, my first hour with you was more productive than any other thing. :)

  • As a licensed mental health professional counselor I highly recommend Debra Doak to clients considering separation and/or divorce. For as long as I have known Debra I have trusted her character and refer clients to her often. She is highly educated, trained and experienced to assist in the most difficult of circumstances and decisions that surround divorce and/or separation. Debra is a much-needed voice of reason and a guiding light in the darkest of times. I have no doubt that you will find her a valuable asset as you prepare for life beyond divorce and separation.

  • Despite the fact that my divorce had been final for 5 years and that the kids and I were thriving, I found myself in an unexpected crisis involving my ex-husband. It felt like everything I had worked so hard to achieve was being threatened and I was at a complete loss as to how to proceed. I reached out to Debra and she did not disappoint. She helped me identify the important pieces and re-focus in ways that brought real clarity. I was able to reset my feet on solid ground, make good decisions, which still stand today, and move myself further along the road of health. Thank you, Debra!!!
