Services Included

Three levels of supervision to meet your family's needs

Therapeutic supervised visitation

Therapeutic Supervised Visitation

Guided parent-child contact facilitated by a clinically licensed mental health professional. This level of supervision is best suited for families experiencing high-conflict, agitation, fear, or mistrust, and helps address the emotional needs of the child while supporting better parent-child relationships.

  • Clinical intervention during visits when needed
  • Real-time coaching for parent-child interactions
  • Processing of emotions before and after visits
  • Support for children experiencing anxiety or fear
  • Progress documentation and reporting
  • Collaboration with attorneys and courts as needed

When to Choose Therapeutic Supervision

Therapeutic supervision is recommended when there are concerns about a child's emotional response to visits, history of trauma, allegations of abuse or neglect, or when the court specifically orders clinical supervision.

Non-therapeutic supervised visitation

Non-Therapeutic Supervised Visitation

Safe, structured child-parent contact with court-supported observations by trained Family Monitors. This service provides a secure environment for parent-child visits when clinical intervention is not required but supervision is still necessary.

  • Trained Family Monitors present throughout visits
  • Neutral, child-friendly visitation environment
  • Consistent documentation of each visit
  • Court-ready reports when requested
  • Flexible scheduling options
  • More affordable than therapeutic supervision

Our Family Monitors

All Family Monitors complete comprehensive training in child development, safety protocols, and documentation requirements. They maintain professional neutrality while ensuring children's safety and comfort.

Supervised exchanges

Supervised Exchanges

A safe, neutral setting for children to transition between parents. Exchanges are typically ordered by the Court, though parents may also agree to arrangements through mediation. Each parent/guardian completes a separate intake with a trained Family Monitor.

  • Neutral location eliminates direct parent contact
  • Staggered arrival/departure times for safety
  • Documentation maintained for each exchange
  • Reduces conflict and stress for children
  • Professional oversight ensures smooth transitions
  • Separate intake process for each parent

How Exchanges Work

Parents arrive at staggered times to prevent direct contact. The child is safely received by our staff from one parent and then released to the other. This process minimizes conflict exposure for children and provides a buffer during high-tension transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which type of supervision my family needs?

The level of supervision is often specified in court orders. If you're unsure, we can help assess your situation during an initial consultation. Therapeutic supervision is typically recommended for cases involving trauma, allegations of abuse, or significant emotional concerns. Non-therapeutic supervision is appropriate when safety is the primary concern but clinical intervention isn't required.

What happens during a supervised visit?

During visits, a trained professional remains present to observe interactions, ensure safety, and document the visit. Parents are encouraged to engage naturally with their children through play, conversation, and activities. Our staff intervenes only when necessary to maintain safety or, in therapeutic visits, to provide coaching and support.

Can supervised visitation help rebuild my relationship with my child?

Yes, many families use supervised visitation as a stepping stone toward reunification. Consistent, positive visits demonstrate to the court that a parent can safely and appropriately interact with their child. Therapeutic supervision in particular can help address underlying issues and improve parent-child dynamics.

How long do supervised visits typically last?

Visit duration varies based on court orders, the child's age, and what's appropriate for your situation. Visits commonly range from one to three hours. We work with families to establish schedules that serve the child's best interests.

Are visit records confidential?

Documentation of visits is maintained confidentially and released only as required by court order or with appropriate authorization. Reports may be provided to attorneys, guardians ad litem, and the court upon request.
