The right team
As therapists, divorce mediators, parenting counselors and financial consultants we work with family attorneys and attorney mediators to help you successfully manage the divorce process to reach better practical and financial solutions while also taking care of your most important asset, your heart.

The right decision
If there is any hope left for your relationship we will help you fully explore any path forward together. You and your partner are most likely exhausted, hurt and angry, and it may seem that divorce is the only answer. However, by taking the extra time to face each other with our support, you will have confidence in your decision.

A special note on children
Regardless of the complex feelings you have for the person you are divorcing he or she will always be the other parent of your children. Research has shown that one of the key indicators of how well children cope with divorce/dissolution correlates directly to how the parents are able to navigate their relationship during and after the divorce.
“The complexities of co-parenting were overwhelming. Your support provided structure and stability.”
