You’re Too Sharp to Live in a Stagnant Relationship.
Therapy for Women in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, and Florida
You run teams, make high-stakes decisions, and project absolute composure. From the outside, you look like you have it all completely together. You show up, you deliver, and you say, "I'm fine."
But the moment you step into your office and close the door, you are most certainly not "fine".
You are exhausted from carrying the entire emotional infrastructure of a relationship with a partner who has checked out, coasted, or left you emotionally alone. You're carrying a story you can't share with your board, your colleagues, or even your closest friends:
-
Whether you’ve stepped outside the marriage because you were starved for real connection and tired of settling for scraps...
-
Whether he blew up your life with an affair, and you refuse to spend months playing the helpless victim while you calculate your next move...
-
Or whether you're navigating the psychological warfare of a high-conflict divorce, documenting threats and carrying the entire mental load alone...
You desperately need a space where you don’t have to edit your thoughts, anticipate someone else's reaction, or face judgment - a place where you can finally stop holding your breath.
You need an unvarnished, high-accountability space where the mask comes off, where you don't have to protect anyone else's feelings or pretend you have it all figured out.
You need support in learning how to trust yourself when everything you thought you knew has been turned upside down. You may love your partner and still be furious with them. You may want to leave and still grieve the life you thought you'd have together. You may want to stay and be terrified of what that choice will cost you.
You don't have to have those answers right now. You need a way out of the constant second-guessing, out of the shame, and out of the exhausting effort to keep everyone else comfortable while you're barely holding it together. For now, you just need somewhere to tell the truth about how bad things have gotten.
Therapy will be the place where the mask comes off. You don't have to edit your thoughts, put a happy spin on things, or have any idea what your next steps are. We can find them together.
If you're ready to find the courage to stop settling for scraps of connection. To trust yourself again. To flirt with your desires again. To know you are allowed to want more from love, from your relationship, and from your life.
This time is entirely yours. Let's help you forge a path back to yourself again.

My Services
Specialized therapy services designed to support high-achieving women in all of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, and Florida.
Therapy For When You've Had An Affair
You've had an affair (or are tempted to), and the isolation is eating you alive. Good people make incredibly complex choices when they are profoundly lonely or disconnected. Here, we focus on understanding your pain and your needs.
Therapy for High-Conflict Divorce
Documenting threats, walking on eggshells, and bracing every time your phone lights up with a notification is deeply isolating. You need an emotional shield and a ally as you navigate it all.
Therapy for When He's Had the Affair -Betrayal Trauma
Protecting everyone else while your own world is burning is a lonely, exhausting trauma. He had an affair, and you refuse to spend months feeling helpless or playing victim. You do not have to carry this burden placed on you on your own.
It's time to give yourself permission to imagine a life that feels like yours again. Your middle+ years can be your most fearless years. Here, you can say and wonder about all the thoughts and feelings you hold inside.
Cry, rage, tremble - then rise bravely.
Therapy for infidelity & betrayal trauma, high-conflict divorce, & midlife reinvention in MA, CT, WA, & FL.
I’m Kimberly Schildbach, and I work with women who’ve spent decades holding it all together - professionally, emotionally, and for everyone else. Then something shifts.
You have an affair (or come close), he has an affair, and you're left wondering if the relationship should continue. The marriage that once defined you is now stuck in a high-conflict divorce. Or you're ready for a midlife reinvention after grieving a life that no longer fits. And beneath all the questions about your marriage is a harder one: Who am I now?
I specialize in helping women navigate these high-stakes transitions with clarity, courage, and self-respect. My work is structured, intelligent, and emotionally grounded - because there’s deep wisdom in what you feel, even when it’s messy or inconvenient. Together, we’ll translate those emotions into insight and direction so you can create what’s next with intention and confidence.
Whether you’re struggling with affair you had or betrayal trauma from his affair, struggling with a high-conflict divorce, or reimagining your purpose in midlife, I offer a steady, focused space to reconnect with yourself - the version of you that’s been quietly waiting beneath all the doing.
This is the work of becoming best friends with your inner world and letting that friendship guide everything that comes next.
