About Austin Divorce Groups

Mission

Our mission is to connect people with the support they need.

We do this by publishing a listing of local support groups, assessing community needs, and encouraging local therapists to offer new support groups to meet those needs.

Who We Are

The person behind this project is Matt Smith Rubio, LCSW. Matt’s a therapist and family mediator. He’s passionate about working with people going through a divorce/separation or co-parenting afterwards.

After years of hearing that Austin needs more divorce groups, in 2025 Matt created the Life After Divorce/Separation support group. He quickly saw how powerful a group can be for folks going through this. Participants talked about how isolated they felt and the relief they found with others who get it. In 2026, he got the idea to create this website and help more people find groups.
