Coparenting Therapy in San Luis Obispo
Create a Coparenting Dynamic Your Whole Family Can Count On
Parents who come to coparenting therapy are already doing something right. They want a cooperative, respectful relationship with their coparent and a stable, loving environment their kids can grow up in. Research consistently shows that when two parents communicate well and work as a team, children feel more secure, confident, and free to just be kids. Therapy gives you the practical tools and structure to make that happen.
I see coparenting clients in person in San Luis Obispo and online across California, Washington, Florida, and South Carolina.

What to Expect
Session 1: The Big Picture
We'll start by getting a clear sense of where you are as a coparenting team, what's working, what you each need, and what a successful coparenting dynamic looks like for your family.
Session 2: Individual Check-Ins
I'll meet with each of you separately (25 minutes) to understand your personal history, your hopes for this process, and what a better coparenting dynamic would feel like for you.
Session 3: Goals and Tools
We'll come back together to identify the patterns most worth addressing and begin building a concrete shared parenting approach, with clearer communication, stronger structure, and practical tools you can use right away.
Investment
Sessions are $190 per 50-minute session. I don't bill insurance directly, but I provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many clients use HSA/FSA funds.
A Note About Court Involvement
My role in coparenting therapy is to support cooperative, respectful communication between parents for the benefit of their children. I do not participate in custody evaluations, court proceedings, or provide recommendations for legal matters. All sessions are focused on practical tools, realistic agreements, and building a shared parenting approach that works for your family.
