Your guide through the twists and turns of divorce

Divorce is hard. Period.
You don't have to navigate it alone.

A place to explore what you're feeling, make room for the hard moments, and find guidance for your next healthy choice. Switchbacks is an AI-powered companion built around your situation—and the personal work of finding your way forward.

Support between conversations with the people who care about you.

The work starts within

Feel what you feel.
Find your footing.

Anger, confusion, sadness, grief, fear, shame, guilt. Divorce can bring all of them to the surface—sometimes in the same day.

This isn't about burying those feelings or forcing yourself to be positive. It's about giving yourself room to notice them, understand them and choose how you respond, at a pace that works for you.

Here when you need it

Support for the moments that matter.

From grief and co-parenting dynamics to mental health, money, shame and dating again.

Talk it through. Anytime.

A place to explore what's happening, make sense of what you're feeling, and find perspective. Even at 2 a.m., when there's no one you can call or text.

Guidance that's personal to you.

The more you share, the more relevant your recommendations can become. Carefully curated books, podcasts, videos, articles and practical guides connected to what you're actually going through.

Build practices that ground you.

Explore approaches for understanding yourself and navigating difficult emotions. Find healthy practices that fit your life, then build on what helps.

Make the next good decision.

You don't have to solve your whole future today. Notice patterns, respond rather than react, and make thoughtful choices along the way.

Six areas. Your own route.

Every part of the journey matters.

Divorce touches more than one part of life. Each focus area has its own guided path and resources, so you can start wherever you need support. There's no required order.

Explore The Path

Small practices. Your own way.

Find what grounds you.

There isn't one right way to reconnect with yourself. For some, it's meditation, breathwork, yoga or a daily gratitude practice. For others, it's a walk outside, time in the ocean, reading, journaling or a quiet bath before bed.

What matters is finding healthy practices that give you space to slow down, look inward and better understand your thoughts and emotions.

Start small. Find what works.
Build from there.

The meaning behind the mark

When the trail gets hard to see.

On rocky ground, cairns—small stacks of stones—help mark the way when the trail becomes difficult to follow.

A cairn doesn't do the climbing for you. It offers a little guidance about where to place your feet next. That's what we want Switchbacks to be for you.

All questions
Who is it for?

Anyone going through separation or divorce, at any stage: before anything is filed, in the thick of it, or years later. Whether it was your decision, theirs or mutual, and with or without kids.

Is it private?

Your sessions and notes are saved in your browser, on your device. To reply, the AI receives the recent conversation; our relay passes it through and doesn't keep a copy. Payments are handled by Stripe, so we never see your card. Read the privacy policy for the details.

Is it therapy?

No. It draws on evidence-based approaches and well-known experts, and it can help you get ready for a conversation with a therapist, but it isn't a therapist and doesn't diagnose or treat anything.

Can I use it on more than one device?

Your membership works anywhere. On a new device, choose "Already a member?" and we'll email you a sign-in link. What you've written stays on the device where you wrote it.

What if I change my mind?

Cancel anytime from your profile in the app. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

I have a code

Go through setup, then choose "Have a code?" on the membership screen.

Switchbacks isn't therapy, and it isn't legal advice. It's support between the conversations you have with your therapist, your attorney and the people who love you. If you're in crisis, call or text 988 (in the US). If you're in danger, call 911.
