Co-Parenting Counseling
Moving Towards an Expanded Family
At Sage, we seek to understand where you are, meet you there, and help you work towards a more grounded and rewarding future. In co-parenting therapy our vision is to help you and your ex move from a “blended family” or “divorced family” mentality to an “expanded family” mentality. As mentioned, there are many “Do’s and Don’ts” with co-parenting; we take a “focus on doing what works” approach because it is so easy to get distracted by what didn't work in the past. We will work with you and your ex to learn about and implement effective co-parenting strategies. We will help you with things like boundaries, effective and respectful communication, creating consistency, focusing on the needs of the children, navigating disagreements or conflict, and building a beautiful and functional expanded family.
We are here to support you in learning what this looks and feels like for you and your family. We understand that all families are unique and that there is not a cookie cutter solution. We can help you find a win-win-win for all parties involved. One of the great benefits of the therapy process is that we help you with specific challenges you are facing at the time and also focus on learning from the process so that you can use the skills you develop with us to address future challenges that may arise. We generally work with clients on a short term basis (typically 3-6 months) and help you to feel “on track” and ready to move forward without therapy. Some circumstances require more time due to other complexities. We work with clients as long as it is needful and beneficial. Also once clients wrap up their work with us, we are open to completing follow up sessions, check ups, or additional work in the future if things arise that need further support.
