Co-Parenting Therapy & Mediation
Work Together, Even When You’re Apart
I Offer a Therapeutic Approach to Resolving Parenting Conflicts—Without Going to Court
Are you and your co-parent struggling to agree on how to raise your kids post-separation or divorce? Do the same conflicts keep resurfacing—around schedules, communication, or major decisions?
At Solutions Therapy & Mediation, I offer a unique blend of therapeutically-informed co-parenting mediation—a service that goes beyond standard mediation. Here, you’ll get the structure of a trained neutral plus the emotional support and insight of a licensed therapist.
This integrated approach helps you not only reach agreements, but understand and shift the patterns that keep you stuck—so you can parent more peacefully and effectively moving forward.
I help separated and divorced parents:
Improve communication and reduce conflict
Create or revise parenting plans
Support their children through transitions
Avoid the cost and stress of court
What Is Therapeutically-Informed Co-Parenting Mediation?
Co-parenting mediation at Solutions Therapy & Mediation isn’t just a legal workaround—it’s a therapeutically-informed process led by a licensed mental health professional trained in both therapy and mediation.
Unlike standard mediation, which focuses only on reaching agreements, this approach supports the emotional dynamics that often derail progress—helping parents communicate more effectively, manage triggers, and move from conflict to cooperation.
In this structured, neutral setting, we help parents:
Resolve parenting disagreements without legal escalation
Rather than heading straight to court when disagreements arise, co-parenting mediation gives you a space to talk through issues with the help of a neutral professional. Whether it’s about holidays, routines, schooling, or unexpected changes, mediation allows both parents to be heard and work toward solutions that don’t involve legal fees or courtroom stress.
Build or revise a parenting plan that fits their unique family
No two families are the same—and your parenting plan should reflect that. Whether you’re creating a new plan or updating one that no longer works, we’ll help you clarify responsibilities, schedules, and expectations. We guide the conversation so your plan is realistic, child-centered, and responsive to your current life circumstances.
Improve communication and reduce misunderstandings
Poor communication is one of the most common sources of conflict between co-parents. Mediation helps you develop better ways to exchange information, make decisions, and reduce tension. We offer simple tools and ground rules to keep conversations productive—so less gets lost in translation and more gets done.
Navigate emotional triggers that impact decision-making
Even after separation, old patterns and emotional wounds can surface in parenting conversations. We help you recognize and manage those triggers so they don’t derail important discussions. This process isn’t about therapy or blame—it’s about learning how to respond rather than react, and staying present for what your child needs now.
Stay focused on the best interests of their children
It’s easy to get pulled into past hurts, but co-parenting mediation helps you keep the focus where it belongs—on your children. Every conversation is guided by what will best support your kids’ emotional, physical, and developmental well-being. We help you make choices that create stability and confidence for your children as they adjust to life between two homes.
It’s not therapy, and it’s not legal advice—it’s a blend of both worlds that helps you move forward with clarity, respect, and support.
Is This for You?
Co-parenting after separation isn’t easy. Even with the best intentions, you may find yourself stuck in the same frustrating loops—miscommunications, disagreements about schedules or rules, or feeling like you’re always walking on eggshells. Maybe you’re exhausted trying to “keep the peace,” or unsure how to speak up without starting another argument.
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Co-parenting mediation can help if:
You’re constantly revisiting old arguments about schedules, finances, or parenting decisions
Communication with your co-parent is tense or emotionally draining
You want to avoid court but need help making agreements stick
You’re blending new families or parenting in different households
You want support that’s both emotionally attuned and legally informed
What I Help With
Even after separation, parenting is still a team effort—and the logistics can be overwhelming without clear agreements in place. Whether you’re just beginning to outline your parenting plan or need help updating one that’s no longer working, I’m here to help you sort through the details and find practical, respectful solutions.
Here are some of the areas we can work on together:
Parenting Plan Creation & Revisions
Holiday, Vacation & Visitation Schedules
Medical, Educational, and Extracurricular Decisions
Child Support & Shared Expense Planning
Communication Agreements
Navigating New Relationships or Stepfamilies
How It Works
Starting something new—especially when emotions are high—can feel daunting. That’s why I’ve designed a process that’s clear, respectful, and paced to meet you where you are. Each step is meant to reduce stress, support thoughtful decision-making, and give both parents space to be heard.
Here’s what you can expect:
Individual Intake Sessions – We start by meeting with each parent individually to understand your situation, needs, and goals.
Joint Mediation Sessions – As appropriate, we bring parents together in structured sessions to work through key decisions.
Customized Agreements – You’ll walk away with clear written summaries or draft plans to move forward.
All sessions are conducted online (via Zoom) for convenience and privacy.

Why Clients Choose This Path
Co-parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and it’s easy to feel caught between emotional overwhelm and legal red tape. Many parents come to me feeling frustrated, stuck, or just wanting a more peaceful way forward—but unsure how to get there.
This path is different. It’s designed to give you support that’s not just practical, but personal.
Unlike court-ordered parenting classes or high-conflict litigation, my approach combines:
Therapeutic insight – to support the emotional aspects of co-parenting
Mediation structure – to keep things focused and productive
Real-world strategies – that work outside the therapist’s office
Whether you’re newly separated or years into co-parenting, I help you build a more peaceful, respectful parenting partnership—for your kids and yourself.
