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).

Mediation
A confidential process for parents to resolve disputes, including allocation of parenting time and decision-making responsibilities, among other issues. Tracy serves as a neutral facilitator, guiding parents to their own agreements. Number of hours varies depending on the scope and complexities of issues, but often mediation is between two and twelve hours.

Supervisor for court ordered Parenting time
Either court ordered or requested by participating parents. This offering can be in the children’s home with the parent or out and about in the community, doing activities and being mobile.
The supervisor remains the child/children’s advocate, offering safe and supportive parenting time.

Individualized Parenting and co-parenting classes and therapeutic parenting coach
This support is done in the home, in the environment, in the moment as well as ongoing parenting support.

Parental Responsibility Evaluation (PRE)
A PRE includes a full family evaluation, including psychological testing, and a thorough report to the court. The purpose of a PRE is to assist the court in determining the best interests of children regarding parental responsibilities, including parenting time and parental decision-making. A PRE is appropriate in cases involving high conflict and/or complicated issues which call for in-depth evaluation. Must be court ordered. Usually requires a minimum of 40 hours of professional time over a 90-120 day period.

Parent Coordinator/Decision-Maker (PC/DM)
As a parent-coordinator, Tracy assists parents in developing effective methods for co-parent communication and coordination. Frequency of sessions vary from weekly to semi-annually, depending on the issues involved. If authorized, she can also serve as a decision-maker. As a decision-maker, she can make binding decisions that clarify or assist with implementation of the provisions of a pre-existing court order in a manner that is consistent with the substantive intent of the court order. A PC must be court-ordered. Decision-making authority requires agreement by the parents and a court order. PC/DM appointments are usually for two years.

Consultation
Single or multiple sessions with parents, attorneys, other mental health professionals.
