What is High Conflict Co-Parenting Counseling?

High Conflict Co-Parenting engages a team to guide families through conflict to solutions.  The team consists of a therapist for each parent, and, as necessary, a third therapist to work with the children.  Through individual and joint meetings, the entire team – parents and professionals – work together to improve communication, parenting skills, and reach consensus on difficult issues.

 

 

How Can High Conflict Co-Parenting Counseling Help Myself & My Children?

A high degree of parental conflict may manifest in children as depression, loss of interest in activities or friends, behavior issues at home and / or school, risk-taking, substance abuse, or self-harm.  One parent may attempt to alienate the children from the other parent.  High Conflict Co-Parenting Counseling offers solutions for everyone involved.  Most importantly, it can help protect children from their parents’ conflict.  The team approach gives everyone a voice and an ally, thereby empowering parents to reach solutions more effectively.

 

 

How Does High Conflict Co-Parenting Counseling Work?

Referrals typically originate from attorneys or other therapists. Each parent has an initial meeting with their individual High Conflict Co-Parenting therapist.  The two therapists then meet to plan the series of joint sessions.  The next step is the four-way meeting with both parents and therapists.  Several joint meetings take place until solutions are reached and a Co-Parenting Plan is adopted.  Each parent may meet individually with their therapist to “de-brief” after a joint session. 

Find solutions to lower conflict and pave a positive path forward.
