Divorce Support

Children’s resiliency during divorce is supported by predictability and consistency. Conflict and chaos adversely affect a child’s ability to adjust and thrive during and after their parent’s divorce.

Co-Parenting Guidance promotes stability and success for parents and children.

Co-Parenting Guidance is your chance to meet the needs of your family during and after divorce.

Co-Parenting Guidance moves you away from the limitations of the court system and back in control of your children’s needs

Co-Parenting Guidance can save money and time by giving parents skills and guidelines to  empower them to make decisions in the best interests of their children.

Co-Parenting Guidance

Carrie will take the time to learn each parent’s perspective on their marriage, divorce, parenting dynamics and co-parenting dynamics. She uses this information to best understand what is possible and what is required in the co-parenting relationship to appropriately meet the needs of the children.

Carrie will then structure joint sessions to structure important conversations about the children’s lives, needs, symptoms and anything else that is relevant. Carrie will provide a safe and effective framework for sharing experiences, resources, and concerns about the child’s needs. 

Appropriate boundaries will be created so that marital patterns are not repeated and instead new dynamics are created to support the children’s ability to thrive.

 In addition, parenting plans can be created or evaluated for sustainability and thoroughness as needs evolve and relationships shift.

Maintain Control of Your Family's Future: A Third Party Can Offer Valuable Information to Avoid Stalemate and Litigation

Mediation can be an effective forum to resolve conflict and maintain control of the decisions made about the family's future.

A family therapist can offer guidance and input about family needs based on independent information gathering. Meeting with each parent and the children, where appropriate, as well as therapists, extended family members, teachers and anyone else with relevant information, provides insight from which a therapist can communicate with the mediator or lawyers, to offer a foundational plan from which parenting time can be constructed. The therapist can assess for traditions, rituals, and what each parent needs to understand to bridge the gap in the absence of the other. The therapist input can be confidential and non-binding nor admissible in court should litigation occur. Most importantly, it is a comprehensive, fair and private look into your family’s needs, and how to meet those needs.  

A confidential evaluation maintains privacy, and offers a balanced, thoughtful and comprehensive approach to guide your family’s future.
