If you are court-ordered to participate in conjoint co-parenting counseling, or if you and your ex are interested in this service, please note the following:
Due to the nature of working with high-conflict couples, and my limited availability, I do not offer a free consultation. Please share this page with your co-parent.
I schedule a 50-minute initial consultation ($250.00 fee) with each parent separately to assess for a goodness of fit. Most of the common counseling questions are answered here, however, the consultation is a chance to discuss your unique situation and what you hope to gain from counseling. Payment is required prior to your appointment via PayPal or credit card. *Both sessions can be counted as two completed sessions toward your court-ordered requirement (for example, if you are ordered to complete 10 sessions, eight conjoint sessions remain after each parent’s initial consultation).
Once we make a decision to work together, I request your most recent court order.
The cost for each 50-minute conjoint session is $200.00. Each party pays 1/2 of the fee ($100) prior to the session, unless CO specifies differently.
Both parties receive email communication with regard to my weekly availability. I understand that many co-parents use a third-party communication app such as OFW, however, the purpose of the email is for scheduling purposes only, not to discuss clinical or legal issues.
I do not report to the court, nor testify regarding custody evaluation or other matters. I provide a certificate of completion that you can submit to the court. Typically, the information included is your case number and the first and last date of service, and if any party was non-compliant with scheduling, or otherwise obstreperous during sessions.
All sessions are conducted via telehealth: Zoom or phone call. Both parties are responsible for understanding how to use online platforms, as well as ensuring privacy, and access to a high-speed internet connection.
If you and your co-parent agree to these terms and are ready to schedule your initial consultation, you can each contact me here. I will respond via email with my soonest availability.
