The In-Home Parent Coach® Court-Approved Services
Supervised Visitation
The purpose of Supervised Visitations (SV) is to enable an on-going relationship between the non-custodial parent and child by impartially observing their contact in a safe and structured environment.
In some situations, SV may include an educational component to teach appropriate parent leadership skills to the non-custodial parent. Including this into SV will be determine on a case-by-case basis.
SV is short-term and does not assist in the long-term goal of achieving a healthy relationship between the non-custodial parent and the child.
Therapeutic Supervised Visitation
Therapeutic Supervision (TS) is a service provided by a licensed mental health professional. The purpose of TS is to support and strengthen the parent-child relationship by providing structured guidance and professional intervention during their time together.
TS goes beyond simple observation by actively addressing behavioral, emotional, and relational challenges in a safe and supportive environment. TS is a longer-term service that provides ongoing support and skill-building, which is often necessary before requesting parenting time plans through the court. The mental health professional works with both the parent and child to address underlying issues and develop strategies for improvement.
Once supervision has been successfully completed, families may have the foundation needed to transition into a more independent and sustainable parenting arrangement, promoting a stable and healthy relationship between parent and child.
Reunification Therapy
The main goal of Reunification Therapy (RT) is to reintroduce a parent back into a child’s life in a safe, controlled, and therapeutic manner.
The process of RT is designed to ensure a safe environment for the children and parents involved to create a new and secure bond with one another under the close supervision of one of our clinicians.
The most important idea of Reunification Therapy is the long-term goal of reconnecting the parent and child for a long-lasting bond.
Co-Parenting Therapy
Co-parenting counseling helps families who are going through a separation or divorce. The goals are to improve communication, conflict resolution skills, and develop a co-parenting plan in the best interest of the child(ren).
Co-parenting counseling is the opposite of marriage counseling. There will be no focus on rebuilding a marriage, but instead, it helps the parties look forward and work together.
Ultimately, the goal is for the parties to have a stable, civil relationship that you can successfully co-parent from separate homes.
Parenting Coordinator
Parenting coordinators are specially trained professionals whose work focuses on helping co-parents manage their parenting plan, improve communication, and resolve disputes.
A parenting coordinator is there to work with the co-parents, yet the overarching focus of their work is to uphold the best interests of the children and encourage parents to do so as well.
If you are always in conflict and cannot resolve issues with your co-parent, consider working with a parenting coordinator.
