Coparenting & Divorce

If you're raising a child with someone you're no longer in a romantic relationship with—and you're experiencing tension, miscommunication, or challenges in staying on the same page—co-parenting therapy can help. It’s for parents who want to reduce conflict, create more consistency for their children, and learn tools for working together, even if your parenting styles differ.

Co-parenting therapy creates a structured, neutral space where both parents can focus on what matters most: the well-being of your child. A therapist helps you address conflict, improve communication, establish boundaries, and make shared decisions about parenting. It’s not about rehashing the relationship—it's about building a functional parenting partnership moving forward.

Absolutely. One of the primary goals of co-parenting therapy is to improve communication. Many separated or divorced parents fall into patterns of miscommunication, emotional reactivity, or avoidance. Therapy teaches practical skills like respectful messaging, setting boundaries, managing tone, and sticking to child-focused topics—even in high-stress moments.

It’s common for one parent to be more open than the other at first. If your co-parent won’t attend, you can still begin on your own. Individual sessions can help you set healthy boundaries, change unhelpful dynamics, and learn tools for reducing conflict—even without the other parent in the room. Often, co-parents are more open to joining once they see positive changes begin.

Co-parenting therapy focuses specifically on the parenting relationship between adults—not the parent-child dynamic. Family therapy, on the other hand, involves the child(ren) and explores the overall family system. Co-parenting therapy is especially helpful post-divorce or separation, or in blended family situations where structure and clarity are needed.

That’s okay. Co-parenting therapy can be done virtually, or through separate sessions when needed, with the understanding that the goal is always to increase your ability to work together, be together, and tolerate strong emotions for your children’s sake. I can help manage even tense, strained relationships. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s a workable system that protects your child’s emotional stability.

Not at all. Co-parenting therapy is helpful for any separated parents, whether or not you were married. It’s also valuable for blended families, parents navigating custody agreements, or even co-parents who were never in a formal relationship but share responsibility for a child.

Yes. Co-parenting therapy can guide you through decisions that impact your child’s daily life—like screen time, bedtime routines, school accommodations, or introducing new partners. When parents can’t agree, the therapist helps you find middle ground rooted in what’s best for the child.
