High-Conflict Divorce Coaching

What is High-Conflict Divorce Coaching?

Navigating separation or divorce with a high-conflict co-parent presents unique and daunting challenges. At Co-Parenting Resilient Kids, I provide specialized coaching designed to support parents facing persistent conflict, coercive control, or post-separation abuse.

My coaching approach is child-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in an understanding of family systems, high-conflict personalities, and the unique needs of children exposed to family conflict.

  1. Understand high-conflict dynamics and the impact this has on children

  2. Learn Co-Parenting Dos and Don’ts to prioritize your child’s wellbeing amidst ongoing conflict

  3. Develop effective communication skills with your co-parent that will help lower the conflict

  4. Develop documentation skills for interactions with a difficult co-parent, legal professionals, and the court

  5. Organize documentation for your attorney to significantly reduce their hours and save you money on legal fees

  6. Establish healthy boundaries to reduce conflict and protect your peace

  7. Prepare for mediation or court appearances by organizing evidence and clarifying your priorities

  8. Build resilience—for yourself and your child—while fostering hope for the future

My goal is to help you:

While direct services are for parents, I steadfastly center children’s well-being in every facet of my work.

Whether you are contemplating divorce, newly separated or have been managing a high-conflict co-parenting relationship for years, coaching can provide clarity, validation, and practical tools to help you move forward with confidence and safeguard your children’s wellbeing

Who Is This Service For?

What To Expect

  • Coaching sessions are customized to address your specific circumstances, challenges, and objectives. I recognize that no two situations are alike; your coaching experience is designed to reflect your personal history, parenting concerns, and evolving goals. You’ll receive practical tools and actionable strategies that align with your priorities, allowing you to build skills, confidence, and resilience at your own pace.

  • You will find a supportive ally who listens with empathy and without judgment. My role is to provide a safe, respectful space where your unique experiences and goals are valued.

  • You’ll gain practical strategies and resources that are proven effective through research and real-world experience. These tools are adapted from the fields of psychology and trauma-informed care, meaning they are designed to help you manage stress, set boundaries, and communicate more effectively—especially in challenging or high-conflict family situations. By drawing on established research about family dynamics and what works in divorce and co-parenting, I provide you with concrete techniques that support your emotional well-being and empower you to navigate complex relationships with greater confidence and clarity.

  • I do not provide therapy, legal advice, or direct intervention with your co-parent or children, but will work alongside your existing support team as needed

Important Note: Coaching Is Not Therapy or Legal Advice

Coaching services provided through Co-Parenting Resilient Kids are designed to support, educate, and empower parents. Coaching is distinct from therapy and legal counsel in the following ways:

  • Coaching does not include the assessment, diagnosis, or therapeutic treatment of mental health conditions. While my background as a child therapist informs my understanding, these sessions are not a substitute for psychological or psychiatric care. Children are never part of sessions and parents must agree that children are not present in the room during sessions.

  • Coaching does not provide legal advice or representation. While I can help you understand general court processes and improve your documentation and communication, I do not offer legal opinions or draft legal documents. For legal guidance, you should consult an attorney.

  • If you are in need of therapy or legal support, I am happy to provide referrals to qualified professionals in those fields.
