Rosemarie was patient, clear, and incredibly compassionate during my divorce and simultaneous diagnosis with breast cancer. With Rosemarie's help and guidance, my ex-husband and I were able to navigate a difficult time with ease and grace.

What is the role of a Co-Parenting Counselor? While the dissolution of a marriage may signify the end of one relationship, it marks the beginning of another – coparenting. This new dynamic necessitates effective communication and a shared commitment to nurturing the children involved.
Breaking down a spousal relationship and building an effective coparenting relationship is a process, and typically doesn’t happen overnight. Its focus lies in equipping parents with the tools and skills essential for navigating this uncharted territory. Through education and practical strategies, coparenting counseling empowers parents to forge a cohesive parenting framework, founded on mutual respect and collaboration.
The overarching goals of coparenting counseling are twofold: to diminish conflict between parents and to mitigate the adverse effects of divorce on children. Achieving these objectives hinges on enhancing parental awareness of their children's emotional journey and fostering effective communication and conflict resolution strategies. By prioritizing the well-being of the children, coparenting counseling endeavors to cultivate an environment where their needs remain at the forefront of decision-making. One of the fundamental outcomes of coparenting counseling is the cultivation of positive sentiments towards the former partner. By fostering understanding and empathy, parents can transcend personal animosities, thereby fostering an environment conducive to cooperative coparenting.
This shift in perspective not only minimizes discord but also diminishes the likelihood of protracted legal battles, thus sparing both parties unnecessary stress and financial strain. While the overarching objectives of coparenting counseling remain consistent, the specific goals may vary depending on the unique circumstances of each family. Whether grappling with blended family dynamics or navigating complex custody arrangements, coparenting counseling tailors its approach to address the distinct needs of each family unit.
Through a collaborative and client-centered approach, coparenting counselors empower families to navigate the complexities of divorce with grace and resilience.
At Divorce Mediation Center of Fairfield County, we regularly incorporate the services of co-parenting counselors in mediations and collaborative divorce processes to support parents in the transition to effective coparents.
