Divorce
Co-parenting

In The Good Divorce, Constance Ahrons writes: “Is divorce good? The answer is a resounding 'no'.” “But if divorce isn’t good, is there such a thing as a good divorce? The answer is a resounding 'yes'.”

Despite what our feelings are at the time, there are opportunities in times of crisis. My experience teaching court-approved co-parenting seminars for divorcing couples in Boulder County has deepened my understanding of the difficulties inherent within the divorce process. During these years I have witnessed the healing and adaptation that occurs within families when parents work together to make cooperative decisions.

In family therapy or individual counseling for teens and adults, I help with issues such as the following:

understanding and embracing normal reactions to divorce
minimizing the effects of anxiety and depression
learning ways to communicate more skillfully
employing anger management strategies
moving from conflict to cooperation (cooperative parenting)
creating healthy boundaries
understanding the best interests of children
healing the loss of the family unit, friends, home, etc.
minimizing stress for children during transitions between
Mom’s house and Dad’s house
creating order and consistency
recognizing common ground and similar intentions
managing the stress of single parenting
understanding the dynamics of dating and remarriage
forgiveness and compassion
adjusting to becoming a blended family
moving on and personal renewal
becoming a skillful co-parent
