What type of co-parent are you? What type is your ex? Are you both willing and able to parent cooperatively, let go of past resentments, work in the best interest of your child, and stop paying thousands of dollars in court fees?

Co-Parenting that is Attachment-Based...

High-conflict parents who are not "willing or able" to cooperate may create insecurely attached children. Parents who are aware of their own attachment patterns are better able to break generational cycles and promote more empathic, resilient famlies/children.

Co-Parenting that is Trauma-Informed...

Ron Huxley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 30 years of experience working remotely on the Central Coast of California. Ron provides trauma-informed and attachment-based therapy and education. Being trauma-informed means that parents may have their own history of trauma. Trauma-informed practices recognize how early life incidents can negatively impact individuals' life and functioning. Co-parenting information that is trauma-sensitive breaks generational trauma, decreases triggering and reduces emotional reactivity.

How can you benefit from Co-Parenting Counseling?

Co-parenting counseling can offer several benefits, including:

  1. Improved communication: Co-parenting counseling can help parents develop effective communication skills to handle conflicts and negotiate parenting decisions.

  2. Better understanding: Counseling can provide a safe space for parents to understand each other's perspectives and feelings.

  3. Better relationships: Co-parenting counseling can help improve the relationship between parents, leading to a more positive and supportive co-parenting experience.

  4. Increased empathy: Counseling can help parents see things from their child's perspective and increase empathy towards their co-parent.

  5. Improved well-being: By improving the co-parenting relationship, co-parenting counseling can lead to reduced stress and improved well-being for both parents and children.

  6. Better outcomes for children: Children of co-parents who participate in counseling tend to have better outcomes, including improved mental health, academic performance, and behavior.

How does Co-Parenting Counseling work?

Co-parenting counseling typically involves a trained therapist who meets with both co-parents to discuss and address their challenges in co-parenting. The counselor may use various techniques and strategies, such as active listening, empathy building, conflict resolution, and problem-solving, to help co-parents improve their communication and relationship.

During the sessions, the counselor may encourage the co-parents to discuss their concerns and goals, work through conflicts, and develop a plan for more positive and effective co-parenting. The counselor may also guide how to manage common co-parenting issues, such as disagreements on discipline or schedule, and help co-parents develop a parenting plan that works for their family.

The number of sessions required for co-parenting counseling can vary, depending on the specific needs of each co-parenting relationship. The goal of co-parenting counseling is to help co-parents learn how to work together as a team and provide a supportive environment for their children.
