We structure the Co-Parenting Services we offer under the scope of Mediation because it creates the safest environment for the parents to be honest with us because we won’t be called into court to share the information we learned while helping the family. It is a confidential process with a neutral professional highly trained in family dynamics, child development, conflict resolution, mental health, domestic violence, and the legal framework that most co-parents are operating under. These services are not therapy, meaning we do not go back into history with co-parents to work through old hurts. This is a forward and solutions focused process that helps co-parents develop solid plans that reduce conflict and minimize harm to their children. Insight is often gained during the Co-Parenting Mediation and can even feel therapeutic when co-parents experience a positive shift in their relationship.
