Co-Parenting Counseling 

Co-parenting counseling is a confidential therapeutic service that addresses the co-parenting relationship and children’s issues associated with divorce and family separation. Co-Parent Counseling will guide you and help you build a relationship as co-parents.

Co-Parent counseling offers specific and practical suggestions to decrease conflict, resolve differences and help you parent your children. Co-Parent counseling will require that you look closely at yourself and how you contribute to the situation your children find themselves in.

The success of Co-Parent Counseling rests on the parents’ willingness to step back from their own feelings about each other and focus on the children, their new relationship as co-parents, and the new family they have created. Success requires the parent to always have their children’s best interest as their guiding value and be willing to examine and admit when that is not the value guiding their conduct.

With this perspective, and with the new skills learned in counseling, parents can make a successful transition from embattled ex-spouse to empowered co-parents.

A primary purpose of these counseling sessions is to provide a forum where the parents can work to establish cooperative parenting.
