Have you ever thought about your financial well-being and emotional relationship with money? Financial Therapy is a compassionate and holistic approach that recognizes our deep emotional connection with money. Recent research has shown that financial issues trigger various emotions, from anxiety and fear to shame and frustration. And add that financial matters in divorce, such as asset division, alimony, child support, and budgeting, will often trigger strong emotions like fear, anger, and sadness.

Joining us is Megan McCoy, a licensed marriage and family therapist and a certified financial therapist who shares about herself and her work which specializes in helping individuals and couples explore their complex relationships and financial issues. Today she discusses the context of divorce, money, and emotions and how they can intertwine in complex ways. She educates and empowers clients to become more financially literate, understand basic financial concepts, develop budgeting skills, and create financial goals and plans. Welcome, Megan!
