Co-Parenting and Reintegration
Co-Parenting
When parents are in conflict, children often bear the emotional weight. If caretakers engage in disputes or try to compete with each other, kids can become caught in the middle. Divorce and co-parenting therapy aim to protect children from these tensions and ensure they remain the focus. While the reasons for separation may persist, the goal is to help children stay emotionally healthy, resilient, and supported through the process.
Reintegration
Similar to co-parenting therapy, reintegration therapy focuses on improving children’s mental health by addressing the challenges they face in blended or separated families. Each case is evaluated individually to develop a tailored approach, which may include court involvement or specific court orders when needed. While reintegration can be complex, its aim is always to promote emotional well-being for children during times of family transition.
Parenting Plans
Disagreements over parenting plans can fuel conflict and drive up costs in divorce proceedings. Many couples spend large sums on legal fees, including mediation and Guardian ad Litem services, to resolve these disputes. However, a systemic therapist trained in communication and conflict resolution can often help couples reach a shared understanding and create a parenting plan that minimizes tension, saves money, and supports the best interests of the children.
