Co-Parent Counselling

Build a positive co-parenting relationship.

“Co-parenting is not a competition. It’s a collaboration of two homes working together with the best interests of the child at heart.”

DR. ANNE BROWN

Co-parenting, sometimes called joint parenting or shared parenting, is a collaborative partnership taken on by parents who focus on the socialization, care and upbringing of the child(ren) for whom they share equal responsibility.

The co-parent relationship is not an intimate relationship between adults - it is a relationship that focuses on the needs of the child(ren). For those who are in the process of separation, or for those who already divorced, the shared custody of a child can be challenging - especially when co-parenting is greatly influenced by the emotions and interactions of each parent. This is where co-parent counselling can help.

“This is probably one of the most difficult challenges any parent could face - learning to love the other parent enough to make the children come first.”

IYANLA VANZANT

Why consider co-parent counselling?

“ Effective parenting has nothing to do with pointing our our faults and everything to do with working out solutions.”

L.R. KNOST

There are many kinds of co-parenting relationships. The nature of your co-parenting relationship will depend on many factors, including how well you and the other parent get along.

CO-PARENTING COUNSELLING IS FOR:

  • Those who have decided to separate and are looking for guidance in terms of co-parenting and what to expect during the separation process

  • Those in the process of separation and divorce and are looking for professional help to resolve any co-parenting disagreements

  • Those who have divorced recently and are looking for support and guidance to resolve co-parenting issues that have arisen

  • Those who are divorced and are looking for support and guidance to resolve co-parenting issues that arisen due to specific life transitions or events

As family professionals, our role is to help you find new and healthier ways to parent together. We understand that the co-parenting relationship can be hard, especially if you have strong feelings about the other parent. But, if you are willing to treat the other parent with respect, you are more likely to get the results your family needs to move forward in the most positive way.

We’re here to help your family through this difficult transition.

We are one of a handful of professionals - in our region - who offer therapeutic support for families who need guidance navigating separation, divorce and co-parenting. The specialized services we offer are uniquely designed with healthy family relationships in mind.
