Co-Parent Communication Counseling

Divorce is difficult for the entire family. The level of effective communication and  functioning  between co-parents, highly influences the level of functioning and healthy outcomes for children.  Co-Parenting Communication Counseling can be essential for assisting parents with enhancing or developing their ability to communicate and parent together as a co-parenting system, or parallel parenting  system, in the best interest of the child(ren).  Parents are provided support and a framework to develop appropriate boundaries and communication styles, to anchor their interests in their children's needs, with consideration to child development and research regarding family systems and divorce.  The focus is to empower each parent to minimize disruption for children,  and effectively achieve  appropriate parental oversight and consistency for children, so that children can thrive between both homes.
