What It Is

Co-parenting therapy is a safe and supportive space for parents who are no longer together but want to raise their children in the healthiest way possible. Together, we focus on easing tension, improving communication, and ensuring your child feels secure, loved, and supported across both homes.

What to Expect

In a structured yet flexible process, parents will communicate respectfully and in a child-centered manner, establish clear roles, boundaries, and expectations, learn ways to resolve conflict with less stress, create consistency and stability for their children, and receive guidance tailored to their unique family dynamics.

Goal / Hope

At its heart, Step-by-Step Co-Parenting Therapy helps parents put aside past hurts and focus on collaboration, communicate with care instead of conflict, and build a shared vision for their child’s happiness and emotional safety. When parents find a healthier way forward, children thrive.

Benefits

Parents who participate often notice that they speak and listen to one another more calmly, feel more confident in their parenting roles, handle disagreements with greater ease, create smoother routines for their children, and feel supported and equipped to meet their family’s needs.

Ten-Session Road Map

Session 1: Laying the Foundation: The first session focuses on building rapport, establishing safety, and creating shared goals for therapy. Together, parents and therapist identify common hopes for their child and the structure of the sessions ahead.

Session 2: Understanding Your Child’s Experience: Parents are guided to see the family dynamic through their child’s eyes, exploring how conflict, communication, and transitions impact their emotional world and sense of security.

Sessions 3–4: Communication Skills that Work: These sessions introduce and practice effective communication tools such as active listening, 'I-statements,' and ways to stay calm during disagreements. Parents engage in real-life examples to build confidence.

Session 5: Clarifying Parenting Roles: This session helps parents clearly define roles, responsibilities, and boundaries between households to ensure consistency and prevent confusion for their child.

Session 6: Conflict Resolution Tools: Parents learn structured approaches for resolving disagreements respectfully and productively. The therapist helps model ways to de-escalate tension and protect the child from adult conflict.

Session 7: Navigating Transitions and Routines: This session focuses on building predictable routines and smoother transitions between homes. Parents co-create plans for school, holidays, and daily life that prioritize their child’s stability.

Session 8: Building Trust and Consistency: Here, parents work to restore mutual trust and dependability. They identify patterns of miscommunication and develop systems to ensure consistency and follow-through.

Session 9: Supporting Emotional Safety: The focus shifts to strengthening emotional safety within both homes. Parents explore ways to validate emotions, practice empathy, and co-regulate their child’s stress or anxiety.

Session 10: Reflection and Future Planning: The final session celebrates growth and solidifies progress. Parents reflect on changes made, revisit shared goals, and create a long-term co-parenting plan for continued collaboration.

“When parents work together, children feel whole.”

Co-parenting therapy is more than just sessions — it’s an investment in peace, communication, and your child’s emotional security. Many families spend thousands of dollars in attorney fees and court costs trying to resolve the same issues that can be addressed more effectively in a therapeutic space. Through Step-by-Step Co-Parenting Therapy, parents learn to cooperate instead of compete, build healthier communication patterns, and make child-centered decisions together. This approach not only saves money but also protects your children from the emotional toll of conflict, giving them the stability and safety they deserve.
