Katie was so helpful and supportive during a trying time in my life. Her knowledge and recommendations helped the divorce process go smoothly and quickly. Thank you!!” — Victoria S.
You’re going through with the divorce. You may feel depressed, sad, and rejected. You may be excited for what lies ahead. Or — a little bit of both, depending on the day. You may have been blindsided, or you may be the one who asked for it.
No matter where you are, you want to avoid the common pitfalls that derail people every day: confusion, overwhelm, wasted attorney fees, setbacks from legal misunderstandings, and decisions made in the heat of emotion instead of with a clear head. That’s what a divorce coach is for. And that’s exactly what working with Katie looks like.
Katie offers three ways to work together — from self-paced learning to fully supported 1:1 coaching. Not sure which is right for you? Schedule a free 30-minute consultation and Katie will help you figure out your best next step.
A self-paced, 6-module video course covering the legal, financial, and emotional sides of divorce. Perfect for anyone who wants to understand the process before diving in — or who needs an affordable way to get oriented fast. Instant access, on your schedule, at your pace.
Your attorney needs facts, not venting. Power Sessions help you walk into every legal meeting prepared, organized, and confident.
Need clarity on one specific hurdle? Power Sessions are focused, single-topic strategy calls — ideal for mediation prep, parenting plan questions, document review, or navigating a communication crisis. No long-term commitment required.
Perfect for navigating the messy middle — discovery, custody negotiations, and financial untangling. Steady support through the hardest stretch.
This package includes unlimited acces to Katie via text, phone or email!
Less than the cost of a single attorney hour! Your most cost-effective option. Best for high-conflict cases or anyone who wants a trusted strategic partner by their side for the full journey, start to finish.
This package includes unlimited access to Katie via text, phone or email!
Divorce doesn’t happen on a schedule. Neither does the support you need.
Concierge Coaching is Katie’s signature 1:1 program — a true strategic partnership where you have unlimited access to Katie via text, phone, and email throughout your engagement. No waiting for your next scheduled call. No wondering if your question is “worth” reaching out. Just consistent, expert support exactly when you need it.
Whether you’re just starting out and facing your first filing, deep in the messy middle of discovery and negotiations, or navigating a high-conflict situation that requires a trusted partner for the long haul — this is how you move through divorce with clarity, confidence, and dignity.
Katie was a much needed consultant. She was there for me EVERY step of the way!!” — Sheryl S
I get it. You’re overwhelmed and you probably feel like you don’t know what’s real anymore — or who you can trust. You’re getting mixed messages from people you care about, and your spouse may even be throwing you off your center.
Let’s talk. We’ll take 30 minutes to walk through your situation and figure out your best next step together — no pressure, no obligation.
“I am so grateful to have had Katie coach me during my divorce journey. Her wealth of knowledge took me from a point of being stuck in fear & naivety for seven months after asking for a divorce to getting my divorce decree swiftly and in a peaceful manner shortly after hiring her. She was professional in the advice and knowledge she had to offer but sympathetic & personable in her words and actions. Not only did she help me find the lawyer that was right for me but also helped with the tough conversations with my now ex, debrief legal documents and aided me in finding the silver lining in moments of doubt. I’m convinced I’d be stuck in the same pattern had I not hired Katie and 100% recommend her for anyone going through the process! ~ Kayla E.
“Katie is very knowledgeable and helped me tremendously with keeping matters moving swiftly during difficult times. I highly recommend her! – Heidi B.
“I am so, so thankful for a friend’s referral to Katie! I felt I had a pretty good grasp on the divorce process but did not trust my ex enough to not throw some curveballs. I hired Katie to be another set of eyes and ears, to reassure me that I was not overlooking anything. She ended up exceeding this expectation! She gently nudged and kept me on task. She suggested other options to consider when I was uncertain. She provided recommendations for great, local resources. She listened through my tears, my frustrations, and my worries! She was so easy to work with and to talk to! She has been a true blessing and calm through the end of my (marriage) storm! – Dee B.

Let’s take 30 minutes to talk about your unique divorce situation and talk about what it would look like to work together. Visit www.katievandenberg.com to learn more about why I do what I do, the options for working together and tips for the divorce process.
6+ years, hundreds of clients, and a process that works. Let’s talk about your next step.
The discovery call is a free 30-minute conversation where we talk about where you are in the process, what is feeling hardest right now, and what you actually need. I am not going to pitch you or pressure you. By the end of the call, we will both know whether working together makes sense. If it does, I will explain exactly what that looks like. If it does not, I will tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. There is no obligation and nothing to prepare — just show up and talk.
It depends entirely on where you are when we start and how complex your situation is. Some clients work with me for two to three months — they need help getting organized, finding the right attorney, and preparing for initial conversations. Others stay with me through the full divorce process, which in Illinois typically runs six months to a year. I do not lock you into a set number of sessions. We move at the pace your divorce requires, and you have full access to me the entire time we are working together.
No. Some of my clients come to me having already filed. Others come to me still asking “is this the right decision?” You do not need a firm answer before reaching out. What you do need is a sense that something has to change and a willingness to get informed about what your options actually look like. I will not push you toward divorce and I will not talk you out of it. My job is to help you think clearly so whatever decision you make, you make it from a grounded place rather than a panicked one.
Then this is exactly the right time to call. You do not need to start at the beginning to work with me. I can step in at any point — whether you just received paperwork that makes no sense, your attorney has gone quiet, mediation is coming up in two weeks, or you are three months in and completely overwhelmed. We assess where you are on our first call and I get up to speed quickly. Divorce moves fast sometimes, and so do I.
