Coparenting Coaching and Consultation

Coparenting Consultation

Sometimes families reach impasses that prevent them from resolving coparenting challenges. Coparenting consultation sessions provide a respectful environment for both parents to receive coparenting education and to share their concerns in order to develop a written plan of action. The licensed mental health professional is able to provide recommendations and relevant information in order to assist in the formulation of a plan in the best interest of the child. This is a form of alternative dispute resolution using coparenting focused education to aid in communication between parents to promote settlement of disputes and better understanding of coparenting issues. This process assists in designing a coparenting plan that outlines current and future details regarding how you are going to raise your child between their two homes.

Coparenting Coaching

Your coparenting coach will meet with you individually to discuss your concerns about your specific role in helping your child grow up between homes and offer suggestions to improve the situation with your child's other household. Basically, this service is individualized coparenting education. The coparenting coach can help you recognize behaviors that may cause more conflict or make life more difficult for children growing up between two homes. Your coach can help you learn to replace unwanted behaviors with those that encourage more favorable transitions for your children. Your coach works with you to assist you in becoming a healthy resource for your child, and these services do not extend to your coparent. However, this service can be helpful to prepare you for cooperative meetings with your coparent, collaborative law meetings, or mediation.
