Testimonials
"When I began this journey through divorce, it felt like carrying a heavy weight through a dark tunnel. The unknown was scary and the heavy feelings felt impossible. You created a safe space for me to feel my feelings and allowed me the time I needed to process them and sit with them, without rushing me or making me feel like I needed to be further than I was. The freedom and the kindness you held for me lifted some of the weight as I navigated the dark unknown of what divorce meant for my life. You were (and are) a safe space for me to process, as well as a gentle nudge towards what I value and desire for in my life. Without you on my journey walking along side me and helping me see that the feelings I had were normal, I wouldn’t be where I am. I know you say that I did the work, and I did, but you empowered me and gave me the courage to do the work. You held the flashlight for my next step when I didn’t think I could go any further. I never thought I would feel the freedom that I feel now. Your time and coaching were worth so much to me!"

"Temple Trigg empowers me to maintain my sanity. During years of highly complicated post-decree work in which I have been devoted to protecting my children from an abusive parent, Temple continues to ground me in truth and perspective. She is a beacon of wisdom, clarity, and pragmatism. Without her help, my fear would be overwhelming and I, no doubt, would be rendered unable to make the best decisions for my children. Temple is also highly collaborative and is a stellar contributor to my team of lawyers and therapists. Her voice is one of hope and reason, and there are no words that can adequately express my gratitude for her work."

"There are many dimensions to going through a divorce, and as an attorney, I can only affect things within the legal sphere. Temple can help with emotional and interpersonal issues so that those issues don't interfere with the decision-making required to make sound business and legal decisions that are fair and in the best interests of children."
~Tamara Vincelette, attorney
"I came to know Temple later in my divorce process, after much of the numbing machinations of mediation, co-parenting classes, endless financial and real estate paperwork were behind me, and the first of many stages of emotional upheaval still lay ahead. Temple facilitated a 13-week DivorceCare support group I attended. Soft spoken and relatable because of her own divorce and co-parenting experiences, she made our group feel safe and heard. One of the things that she impressed upon us was that the divorce process was not going to be quick and easy, and that we "would need to do the work". While DC was, for me, a starting point and being in a group setting allowed me to see that I was not alone, it was her one on one coaching and guidance that really kept me focused on the work ahead. She gave me strength and grounding to make sure I was putting my kids first, instead of being unnecessarily concerned with the life my ex was choosing. At that time, I was mired in financial chaos which limited my sessions with her, but her empathy and experience greatly maximized the time we did have. I highly recommend Temple as a divorce coach because of her strategic and positive navigation through what is a most difficult time."

"As anyone experiencing a separation knows, emotions run high in every direction. I am so grateful to have had a divorce coach help me avoid “emotional mistakes." With Temple, I was able to approach the divorce process from a place of strength rather than fear. I learned to communicate and engage effectively, not emotionally, with others in the process. Divorce is not an easy road, but I was empowered in so many ways, not broken down. She was my lifeline in every sense of the word, and I walked away with tools that made me a stronger person moving forward. I highly, highly recommend Temple as a coach for anyone facing divorce!"

"Temple helped me get through one of the hardest seasons in my life. After my divorce I thought I could figure out how to get through my emotions, paper work and new beginnings on my own. After a couple of months I realized I needed someone else to help show me the way. Temple was amazing at not only focusing on how far I had already come but also helping me continue to move forward. There was little looking back and feeling sorry for myself. Everything was focusing on the positive movement forward. After we did many one on one sessions, I then joined Temple for the Divorce Care group. The group setting gave me an even better understanding that my feelings are valid and that others who are also going through divorce are feeling the same emotions that I am. I highly recommend Temple to anyone who is going through a divorce. My only regret was not finding Temple sooner."

"It has been my pleasure to be acquainted with Temple for 14 years. As an educator, I have seen the devastating consequences of divorce on children. An example of compassion and pragmatism, I watched Temple gracefully navigate her own divorce when I was employed as the Head of her children’s school. Calmly focused, Temple always put the needs of her children first, and I can attest that the family structure she has since created has given her kids exactly what they need to grow and thrive. I know that this is every parent’s primary concern when making the difficult decision to separate. Working with Temple is one of the best ways you can insulate your children in the short-term and create an even better family for them in the long-term."

Temple is adept at guiding her clients to avoid common mistakes, and is a thoughtful, strategic coach by your side through every step of the process.
