Co-Parenting after Divorce

It was supposed to be easier.

You couldn’t stay together. You knew that.

You worried about the emotional scars that remaining in that terrible marriage would leave on your child – and you.

Weighing that against the trauma of separation and divorce, you gambled. You hoped the change would bring more positive than negative and that it would be best for everyone in the long run.

It was supposed to be better.

But this? This is exponentially worse.

It all made sense. You always took care of the kids. Everything fell to you.

So you assumed that once you’d made the tough move – once you’d braved the fallout and grieved your losses – the sun would someday shine again.

It would just be you and the kids, and it would be better.

What a miscalculation that turned out to be.

How could you know that, after the divorce, your ex would want to direct every aspect of parenting – when he’d never shown the slightest interest?

You could never have guessed how painful it would be.

You had no idea how much the kids would suffer from being in the crossfire of the constant conflict.

And you had no idea how miserable it would make you, either.

And it still isn’t over.

You’ve realized you’re stuck with the situation, and you’re going to have to find some way to co-parent peacefully.

You’ve got to do something if you don’t want to raise emotionally disturbed children – and become a complete basket case yourself.

So, you took a gamble, but you can still beat the odds. There’s still a way to win.

It’s time to get some help.

Help from a competent co-parenting counselor.

Someone experienced in helping families find a way forward by teaching parents to communicate.

Someone who can teach you to make the best decisions and plans for the kids, rather than stay tied together with one another by the fight.

You’ve come to the right place.

After years of working in Family Court and watching families get caught in endless rounds of hearings that did nothing to help them move forward in a healthy, positive way, I developed a 12-session co-parenting counseling program that really works.

First, I’ll meet with each parent individually, listen to their concerns, and teach specific communication techniques for effective, respectful interaction.

Then, we’ll all meet together to facilitate problem-solving, reviewing a set number of written co-parent communications. You’ll learn to calm your emotions and focus on the children’s needs and experiences.

I’ll also interview the children about their experiences at the outset and the end of the program.

Positive things do come from change.

But it has to be a change of attitude – not just geography.

Lasting, positive change occurs only when folks adapt in healthy and constructive ways, rather than merely carrying all the unresolved problems into the present and future and maintaining the misery.

Ready to learn to co-parent peacefully and effectively – so you and your children can move forward into a positive, healthy, and more productive future?

If you genuinely care for your children’s well-being, why allow the shrapnel and fallout of perpetual destructive conflict between you two to wound them for even one more day?

Ready for something genuinely better?

It’s time to put out the fire of ongoing toxic firestorms with your ex and apply the healing balm of cooperative co-parenting for your kids’ sakes – and yours.

Let’s put an end to the suffering. You were right. It IS supposed to be better.

Let’s move forward, so you can all enjoy the positive effects of healthy change.
