FAMILY MEDIATION SERVICES
What Is Developmentally-Informed Co-Parenting Mediation?
Co-parenting mediation isn’t just a legal workaround—it’s a clinically-informed process led by a PhD in clinical psychology, trained in child development, leadership and co-parenting mediation.
In this structured, neutral setting, we help parents:
Create parenting agreements without looping, wasting energy or legal escalation
Mediation provides an efficient avenue work through parenting issues with the help of a trained, neutral guide who is an expert in child development and communication. Whether it’s about holidays, routines, schooling, or unexpected changes, this process gets to the heart of the matter, shifting resistance to collaboration. The mediation session 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 your unique family and child
No two families are the same—and your parenting plan should reflect that. It is quite rare for coparenting mediators to ever meet the child directly, much less provide assessment completed by a board certified child and adolescent clinical psychologist.
Whether you’re wanting to tailor a revision to meet your child’s needs, or wanting to create one from scratch, we start with a comprehensive examination of your child, assess exactly what they need in this stage of development and your specific family dynamics and values. We guide the conversation so your plan is realistic, child-centered, and responsive to your current life circumstances.
This helps you all move on from the past, prevent important things from getting lost in translation and to optimize your coparenting skills.
Stay focused on the best interests of their children,
without losing sight of yourselves.
This process will push you beyond the past so that you keep the focus where it belongs—on your children.
You’ll learn to have conversations guided by your shared interest to support your kids’ emotional, physical, and developmental well-being.
We help you make choices that create stability, confidence and clarity for your children as they adjust to life between two homes
Mediation walks you through the process to craft agreements that are ultimately best for the well being of ALL MEMBERS INVOLVED.
We take parents who are separated or divorced through a structured mediation process that:
Articulates each child’s developmental needs, individual assets and resources, and specific risks/areas of concern.
Identifies each parent’s needs, resources, strengths, limitations and vision for their future.
Agree on basic approaches, activities, allowances, schedules and therapies for each child
Clearly articulate how the parents will communicate between each other and with their children.
Avoid the cost and stress of court by creating a mememorandum of understanding..
When parents separate or already live in separate homes, they often turn to the court to resolve ongoing disputes regarding custody and visitation. Families can save time, money, and the stress of a custody trial if they reach a parenting agreement. Together, we develop a comprehensive Memorandum Of Understanding.
