How Rebuilders Complements Therapy

& Supports Therapists

Divorce can overwhelm clients emotionally, cognitively, and relationally. As a therapist, you’re already helping them unpack the trauma and rebuild their inner world — but sometimes, what’s missing is a safe, structured community that reinforces that work week by week.


That’s where Rebuilders comes in. For over 40 years, our program has supported therapy by offering a proven group process that helps people recover, rebuild, and reengage with life — without religious content, advice-giving, or shortcuts.

A Complement to Therapy,

Not a Replacement

Hear from real participants — and see why therapists across the country trust Rebuilders.

How It Supports the Therapy Process

Our program reinforces your work by helping clients:

  • Process grief and loss with practical tools like the Feelings Compass and Grief Recovery Map

  • Understand their patterns using identity, boundary, and relationship exercises

  • Build healthy new connections in a safe, facilitator-led community

  • Track emotional recovery using our RIFT Recovery Method (developed from the Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale)

Clients return to therapy sessions more aware, less isolated, and more emotionally regulated.

“I’ve referred several clients to Rebuilders and every time I see faster emotional progress.

It gives them the community and structure that therapy alone can’t always offer.”
