CO-PARENTING THERAPY

Build a co-parenting system that actually works in real life.

Practical guidance for one or both parents to improve co-parenting functioning.

Parenting together after separation or divorce is not easy. Even when a marriage ends, the responsibilities of raising children continue. Communication may be strained, trust may be limited, emotions can be strong, and seemingly simple decisions can become sources of conflict.

Joint co-parenting therapy provides a structured, supportive process to help parents learn to work together as a parenting team. The focus is on creating practical decision-making structures, improving communication, establishing boundaries, and developing strategies that help parents care for their children across two homes. Sessions may explore parallel parenting options for when high-conflict co-parenting dynamics are challenging.

Individual co-parenting therpy is also an option for one parent to participate in 1:1 meetings to learn tools to better manage the dynamic with their co-parent.

The goal isn’t to change your co-parent. It’s to create a more functional, child-centered way forward.

How Co-Parenting Therapy is Different from Couples Therapy

Co-parenting therapy focuses on the present and future, not about healing the marital relationship. It is about helping you transition to a more business-like parenting partnership that supports your children’s needs.

The work is structured, practical, and designed to create immediate, meaningful change for you and your children.

I help parents move from reactive, conflict-driven co-parenting to clear, structured, child-centered systems that actually work.

Co-parenting therapy creates a new path.

Individual Co-parenting Therapy

Expert guidance, even if your co-parent is not participating.

You do not need your co-parent’s participation to develop more effective ways of managing communication, setting boundaries, and navigating parenting challenges. Individual consulting provides practical, personalized guidance to help you respond more effectively to difficult dynamics, reduce unnecessary conflict, and create greater stability for you and your children.

Sometimes, you may be dealing with a co-parent who is reactive, controlling, and/or emotionally abusive. These dynamics may pull you into defensive communication. While you can not change your co-parent’s behavior, modifying how you engage can still shift the co-parenting dynamic.
