About Carly
When you’re navigating a high-conflict divorce or recovering from an emotionally unhealthy relationship, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by uncertainty. The decisions can feel impossible, the emotions exhausting, and the future unclear.
Carly understands that this journey is about protecting your peace, rebuilding your confidence, caring for your children, and creating a future where you can thrive.
As the coach behind Carly Elma Coaching, LLC, brings both personal and professional experience with High Conflict Divorce to her coaching practice.
Carly was in a marriage for over a decade and has experience being under different forms of relational abuse and coercive control. She has lived through the divorce process and the corruption within the family court system. She also has experience with post separation abuse and continues to experience this while trying to coparent young children with her ex. She will be able to relate to your experiences in many ways and has lived the success of coming out free (mostly) on the other side.
From a professional standpoint, Carly has an educational background of obtaining her doctorate in Psychology and worked as a psychologist for over a decade, specializing in helping children in divorced families and mediating the parents. She then moved to helping adult victims of domestic abuse with a specialty in narcissism. Finally, her practice shifted to High Conflict Divorce Coaching and she obtained her High Conflict Divorce Certification from the only nationally accredited High Conflict Divorce Certification Program.

Here is a testimonial from the Founder, Tina Swithin:
“Carly Elma Coaching, LLC is a graduate of the High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program. This eight-week, intensive course focuses on the difficult dynamics of high-conflict divorce and child custody battles. Our program focuses on the intricacies of post separation abuse and our coaches are trained that it only takes one toxic, abusive or personality disordered individual to create a high-conflict situation. Carly will be an amazing resource and advocate for those attempting to navigate the family court system. It was an honor to have Carly in our program and I look forward to cheering her on in her advocacy work.” – Tina Swithin, CEO/Founder of the High Conflict Divorce Coach Certification Program
