Support for Families

We all want to have healthy attachment with our children and offer them the best connection and relationships for them to grow and thrive.

Tracy can support you to develop the most important relationship and connection with you and your child/children.

Are your children struggling with the effects of separation or divorce? 

Do you need parenting support, counseling, help with parenting plans, court ordered supervision, or mediation to bypass more litigation and to improve outcomes? 

Are you interested in a Parent Coordinator to assist with communication and co parenting?

Tracy offers comprehensive support for families, children, and individuals (with special attention to the needs during separation and divorce).

Services

Counseling for Children, Adolescents, Parents, and Families

Tracy provides supportive and developmentally-informed counseling for children and teens, while also helping parents and families strengthen connection, communication, and emotional safety. Her approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, trauma-responsive care, play therapy strategies, and gentle nervous system regulation work.

Areas of focus include:

  • Divorce and separation
  • Parenting stress and burnout
  • Parent–child conflict
  • Stepfamily/Blended adjustment
  • Parent–child reunification and repair
  • Support around parenting plans and co-parenting
  • Adjustment to loss, grief, and major life transitions

Sessions are collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping families build resilience and healthier patterns moving forward.

Mediation
Mediation is a confidential process designed to help parents resolve disagreements without escalating conflict or returning immediately to court. Tracy serves as a neutral facilitator who helps parents clarify concerns, communicate more effectively, and work toward agreements regarding parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, and other child-related matters.

The number of hours varies depending on the complexity of the case; some mediations resolve in a few hours while others require multiple sessions.

Supervised Parenting Time
Tracy offers supervised parenting time for families in transition, whether court-ordered or agreed upon by the parties. Parenting time may take place in the child’s home or in the community, allowing parents and children to spend meaningful time together while maintaining structure, safety, and emotional support. The focus remains on the well-being of the child, supporting positive interaction, and helping relationships develop or stabilize in a safe environment.

Individualized Parenting & Co-Parenting Support / Therapeutic Parenting Coaching
Parenting can be incredibly challenging, especially in times of stress, conflict, or transition. Tracy provides individualized parent coaching designed to support parents in real-life situations—both in the home and through ongoing therapeutic support. Work may include skill-building, strengthening emotional attunement, improving consistency and follow-through, and supporting healthier co-parenting dynamics.

Parental Responsibilities Evaluation (PRE)
A PRE is a comprehensive family evaluation intended to help the court understand what parenting arrangements best support the psychological, emotional, and developmental needs of the child. This process typically includes clinical interviews, parent–child observations, collateral contacts, review of records, psychological testing, and a detailed written report to the court.

A PRE is generally used in high-conflict or complex cases where a deeper level of assessment is needed. PREs must be court-ordered and typically take place over several months, with a significant number of professional hours dedicated to the case.

Parenting Coordinator / Decision-Maker (PC/DM)
As a Parenting Coordinator, Tracy helps parents reduce conflict, improve communication, and better implement their parenting plans. Sessions may occur as needed—ranging from more frequent contact in times of difficulty to occasional follow-ups as situations stabilize.

When appointed as a Decision-Maker (with court authorization and parental agreement), Tracy may make limited, binding decisions intended to clarify or help implement existing court orders while supporting the child’s best interests. PC and PC/DM appointments are court-ordered and typically last up to two years.

Consultation
Consultation is available for parents, attorneys, schools, and other professionals seeking guidance related to complex family dynamics, parenting concerns, court-involved issues, or child and adolescent well-being. Sessions can be one-time or ongoing depending on the need.

Tracy approaches every family with warmth, respect, and clinical clarity, always keeping the child’s needs and best interests at the center of the work.
