Individual Counseling
Giving children, adolescents, and adults the emotional tools to navigate themselves, their relationships, and their outside worlds is an empowering gift. The resilience that comes with these skills equips them with the knowledge of how to handle all of life’s emotions.
Co-Parenting Counseling
Recommended for mild to moderate parental conflict, co-parenting counseling is a child-focused and confidential process that provides the opportunity for parents to understand and learn basic principles on how to create a new family paradigm that is healthy and positive for the entire family.
Parent Coordination Services
Recommended for high parental conflict, parent coordination services aim to shield children from parental conflict and loyalty binds. This service reduces stress on both parents and children to minimize litigation and assists children in adjusting to their two homes.
Parallel Parenting
Recommended for high-conflict families and usually not long-term, parallel parenting provides an opportunity for co-parenting to occur without engaging with one another in order to shield the children from conflict.
Reunification Counseling
Reunification counseling is for parents and their children who have been reintroduced after a period of separation.
