Co-Parenting &
Blended Families

Building a More Functional Parenting Dynamic

Co-parenting can be difficult even when both parents genuinely want what is best for their child. Separation, divorce, blended families, different parenting styles, communication problems, and unresolved relationship dynamics can make parenting together especially challenging. Co-parenting therapy focuses on creating more functional communication and reducing the patterns that keep parents stuck.

Co-Parenting Therapy May Address

  • Communication between co-parents

  • Parenting disagreements

  • Boundaries

  • Conflict

  • Scheduling and transitions

  • Different parenting styles

  • New partners and blended families

  • Separation and divorce

  • Difficult conversations

  • Emotional reactivity

  • Keeping parenting decisions separate from former relationship conflict

The goal is not necessarily to make co-parents friends. The goal is to create a workable parenting relationship that supports the child and reduces unnecessary conflict.

Virtual co-parenting therapy is available throughout California and Pennsylvania.
