Co-parenting therapy is a specialized form of therapy that helps parents (usually separated, divorced, or in high-conflict relationships) work together more effectively to raise their children. The focus is not on repairing the romantic relationship but on creating a functional, cooperative parenting partnership for the benefit of the children.

Common Issues Addressed:

  • Differences in parenting styles

  • Disagreements about schedules, discipline, or education

  • Transitions between homes

  • Loyalty conflicts or triangulation (children caught in the middle)

  • New partners or blended family challenges

  • Communication breakdown or use of children as messengers
