Parenting and Co-Parenting Support

One of the most important aspects of our work is affecting future generations. A couple’s ability to work well together directly touches their children in a profound way. After even a few months of work together we see couples feeling relief in their parenting together, their children feeling better because they feel better, and the whole family system living harmoniously together. Not only do we help couples develop intimacy, better understand one another, and breathe air and life into their relationship, but we facilitate this in their parenting styles as well.

And parenting is not for the faint of heart! We understand that the well-being of your children is unspeakably important to you and we’re also able to help you through developmental milestones, better understanding how to handle the inevitable rough spots presented to you as they grow.

If you’re in the process of divorcing, co-parenting can be one of the largest challenges. Your children give you the noblest reason to work on issues with your ex. Divorce doesn’t have to be traumatic for your kids, even if it has been for you and your partner. There are definite and concrete ways to support and guide your children through this difficult season. Being supported by a therapist can also provide a venue to safely air grievances and suss them out without fear that your fight will spill over into your parenting or ruin your week. Separation and divorce has no end to frustrations and hurts, even without children in the mix. Add your kids and it becomes almost unbearably heartbreaking and complex. We will help you navigate these rough waters for as long as you might need.

The Gray Space Between Us:Understanding Black-and-White Thinking in Human Relationships

In the human experience, it’s tempting to reduce life into binaries: good or bad, right or wrong, love or hate. These cognitive shortcuts, which you might call dichotomous thinking or black-and-white thinking, can appear to provide clarity. But they actually distort our reality and strain our relationships.

We love our partners yet feel deep frustration over their quirks or behaviors. We eagerly anticipate hosting the holidays but quietly dread the emotional labor involved. We adore our children, yet still feel bored, overwhelmed, exhausted, or even resentful of them.

This does not mean we’re broken. It means we’re human.
