positive coparenting program

This psychoeducational program is for parents who are separated, divorced or parenting apart and looking to improve their ability to coparent effectively. The Positive Coparenting Program consists of 8 weekly or biweekly sessions, in which parents learn effective coparenting skills and strategies that allow parents to communicate in a businesslike manner, regulate strong emotions, keep the children out of the middle, reduce conflict, merge parenting styles and work cooperatively. This psychoeducational program is designed to set divorced families up for success with coparenting.

Each parent will receive a certificate of completion for the 8 week Positive Coparenting Program.

parenting plans

I work with parents collaboratively to develop a parenting plan that works for their family after separation or divorce. A comprehensive parenting plan will set you up for success in coparenting, and can prevent headaches down the road. Your parenting plan will outline all of the important facets of your child’s life including summer and winter schedules, holiday schedules, birthdays, travel with children, vacation requests, new relationships, extracurricular activities, school selection, physician selection, education and many more.

coparent counseling

If you are having problems parenting with an ex-partner due to ongoing conflict, you are likely experiencing poor communication, tension and conflict over parenting styles and an overall distrust in one another. This type of coparenting relationship can cause significant stress on children and can leave parents feeling bitter and hopeless. Divorce and custody conflict can wreak havoc on children’s lives and can lead to long term problems.

What coparent counseling can do for you and your family

Coparent Counseling provides parents the skills and tools necessary to learn how to communicate effectively about their children.  This includes coaching on how to create an effective weekly email exchange, manage excessive or absent communication, manage emotional messages and learn how to communicate in a business like way.

Coparent Counseling provided parents the opportunity to create a parenting plan that addresses common coparenting concerns such as custody schedules, holiday and birthday schedules, planning for vacation time, planning for extracurricular activities and telephone contact. A well developed parenting plan will help you to avoid conflict down the road. I work with Court Involved families and provide collaboration with attorneys.

court involved therapy

I specialize in working with families that are in the Family Court System who have been recommended to engage in Family Therapy, Individual Therapy or Coparenting Counseling. I work collaboratively with attorneys, parent coordinators, custody evaluators, as well as other therapists working with your family. A collaborative approach is critical when there are strained relationships, or your child/children are resisting contact with one parent. If you have Court Ordered Therapy, reach out to me to schedule a free phone consultation.
