Co-Parenting Counseling / Coaching
Co-parenting counseling is a valuable resource for parents navigating the complexities of raising children together post-separation or divorce. It emphasizes important aspects like communication skills, conflict resolution skills, and parenting techniques, which are crucial for maintaining a healthy co-parenting dynamic. By learning strategies such as keeping children out of parental conflict, respecting the other parent, and focusing on the present moment, parents can create a supportive environment that prioritizes their child’s well-being. Effective communication and a shared focus on the child’s best interests can help foster cooperation and understanding between co-parents, ultimately benefiting the children involved.
Parent coaching indeed shares some similarities with coparenting counseling, especially in terms of utilizing coparenting skills. However, coaching often takes a more practical and hands-on approach, involving both individual and joint sessions with parents. The primary aim is to assist parents in navigating and improving their coparenting dynamics by addressing emotional reactions and behaviors that may hinder effective collaboration. By providing tailored guidance and strategies, parent coaching focuses on cultivating healthier coparenting interactions, ultimately benefiting the well-being of the children involved.
My role in this process is to provide you a safe, non-judgmental space to practice healthy co-parenting communication and parenting strategies. I believe each parent has an equal part in contributing to their child(ren)’s lives.
Child Custody Services
Private Child Custody Recommending Counseling:
PCCRC is a court ordered process, designed to assist parents in resolving disagreements about child custody and parenting arrangements. The hope is that through facilitated discussions with a neutral third party, parents can come to agreements that serve the best interests of their children. If parents can’t reach agreements, the PCCRC will make recommendations to the court based on their assessment of what would be the best interests for the child(ren).
3111 Child Custody Evaluations:
A child custody evaluation, often referred to as a 3111 evaluation, is a structured process ordered by the court to help determine the best custody arrangement for a child or children. The evaluation is conducted by a neutral third party, often a mental health professional or specially trained evaluator, who assesses various aspects of the family dynamics to make recommendations that serve the child’s best interests.
The evaluator may employ various methods to gather information, such as interviews, observations, and reviewing relevant documents like school records or previous court documents. This comprehensive approach helps the evaluator form a well-rounded understanding of the family dynamics and the child’s needs. Once all information is gathered and assessed, the evaluator submits a report to the court with recommendations regarding custody and parenting arrangements. These recommendations are based on the child’s best interest factors.
