Nuts and Bolts of Working Together
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:
1. Discovery Call: 15 minutes Free of Charge
Individual Intake Sessions – We begin by meeting with each parent individually to understand your situation, needs, and goals.
Individual Child Assessment – We may directly interact with and assess your child’s behavior, functioning and well-being. In other cases, our assessment is indirect through collecting measures or reviewing past reports.
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. In certain circumstances, you’ll also have report on your child’s functioning.
Scheduling
Scheduling only occurs once both parents sign consent forms and an initial payment is made.
Three Hour Mediations sessions are typically booked 4-10 weeks in advance
Initial sessions are typically booked 4 weeks in advance
Ongoing coaching or resolutions sessions are booked 2 weeks in advance.

Cancellations
In person assessment and medication appointments tend to be scheduled 2-8 weeks out. Due to the high demand of these services, we ask that you cancel these appointments within 10 business days so that other families have a reasonable opportunity to shift their schedule to take your spot.
