Co-Parenting Services | Center for Relational Care

Supporting Families Through Transition

Divorce and separation are challenging for everyone involved, but they don't have to define your family's future. Our co-parenting services are designed to help parents in high-conflict custody situations develop the skills and strategies needed to work together effectively—even when it feels impossible.

At the Center for Relational Care, we believe that children thrive when their parents can communicate respectfully and make decisions together. Our experienced professionals provide the guidance, tools, and support you need to create a healthier co-parenting relationship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both parents need to participate?

While joint participation is ideal—especially for parent coordination—we can also work with individual parents to develop better co-parenting strategies. The approach depends on your specific situation and goals.

How long does co-parenting counseling typically take?

The duration varies based on your family's needs. Some families see significant improvement in 6-8 sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support during difficult transitions. We'll work with you to create a plan that fits your situation.

Can sessions be conducted virtually?

Yes, we offer telehealth options for families who prefer virtual sessions or who live outside our immediate service area. Virtual sessions are just as effective as in-person meetings for many families.

Is parent coordination the same as mediation?

While similar, parent coordination is an ongoing relationship focused on implementing existing parenting plans and resolving day-to-day disputes. Mediation typically focuses on reaching initial agreements. Parent coordinators can sometimes make minor decisions if given authority by the court.
