Parent Coaching
Parent Coaching for Divorce/Separation/Co-Parenting
We help parents navigate co-parenting and prioritizing the best interests of their children. As a pediatrician founded company, we believe parents can parent best when they are individually at their healthiest. As such, we recognize that many parents may be stronger at parenting when separated or divorced versus in an unhealthy partnership. We also recognize that what children need most are loving and invested parents who prioritize their children's needs. That love, investment, and prioritization is independent to the state of the union between the parents. Additionally, we recognize that all children have unique physical, emotional, intellectual, and social needs. We are here to support parents as they navigate their individualized needs in times of transition, grief, and conflict.
