Parenting Plan Consultation, Design and Mediation
A Parenting Plan designates the rights and duties of never-married and/or divorced parents. It also sets out the parenting schedule for the child, commonly referred to as Custody and/or Visitation. We can help you design one to match the needs of your child. We can also mediate any disputes the parents might have about that parenting plan. Learn More

Divorce Counseling/Co-Parent “Coaching”
Divorce related counseling sometimes differs in style and content from other types of psychotherapy. While we have the clinical knowledge and skills to assist someone with depression or anxiety disorders, most divorcing clients are not diagnosable. They have a need for information about the process of the divorce, someone to coach them through it, and someone to repeatedly reassure them that they are not crazy. Parents may also need coaching to refine their new co-parenting skills, particularly when they find the other parent to be less than cooperative. We can help.
Supervised Visitation/Exchange
Child access services are designed to offer opportunities for children to have safe, conflict-free access to parents in a healthy, supervised environment. Many situations arise which can result in the utilization of child access services. Our goal as a neutral third party is to ensure physical and emotional safety during visitations and exchanges and report unbiased, objective records of the events that occur during these meetings to the appropriate parties.
Therapeutic Supervised Visitation
Therapeutic Supervised Visitation is the experiential teaching of parenting skills through play during the court ordered time parents and children spend together. Like all Supervised Visitation, the first goal is provide physical and emotional safety for the child. In Therapeutic Supervised Visitation, a therapist plays a more active role, teaching the parent skills they need so that access can be increased progressively and safely as the parent demonstrates those skills.
Anger Management Groups
Sometimes, during the legal process, one or both parties, agree to, or are ordered to attend Anger Management. These are intensive psycho-educational anger awareness and management programs designed for individuals whose anger has given them difficulty in their lives.
Social Studies
We recommend that you review the services available under Team Collaborative Law before you pursue this option, but sometimes families need the court to make their parenting decisions for them. At those times, a social study is often recommended. Learn More
