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.
