What is aligned parenting?

Aligned Parenting is a specialized counseling service for parents navigating the challenges of co-parenting after separation or divorce. Whether you’re dealing with communication breakdowns, emotional tension, or differences in parenting styles, we’re here to help you get on the same page—for your child’s well-being and your peace of mind.

Steady Parents

Steady Parents Plan

Monthly Conversations That Help Parents Stay on the Same Page

When parents stay steady, kids feel safe. 

The Steady Plan offers monthly therapist-guided sessions to help co-parents check in, realign, and adjust without letting small issues turn into big problems.

This isn’t therapy—it’s maintenance for your parenting partnership. These sessions give you a reliable, neutral space to talk things through and focus on what matters most: raising your child with less conflict and more consistency.

You’ll Get:

  • A pre-scheduled monthly check-in, hosted by a neutral expert
  • A consistent, structured place to revisit what’s working—and what’s not
  • Tools and strategies to improve communication and reduce friction
  • Ongoing support to adjust routines, clarify agreements, and resolve parenting concerns as they come up

Optional Add-Ons:

  • Shared Parenting Update Summaries
    (Please note: These are not legal documents and do not alter any existing legal agreements. They are intended only to summarize the points on which co-parents have mutually agreed during our meetings.)
  • Expert Written Plans for Accountability
  • As-needed support between sessions

The Steady Plan helps your child feel like home is home—no matter which home they are in.

Grown-Up Talks

The Grown-Up Talks Sessions

A One-Time Session to Help Parents Agree Without Arguing

Kids know when their parents aren’t getting along—even when it’s quiet. The Grown-Ups Talk Plan gives co-parents a chance to work through one specific issue calmly, clearly, and with the support of a neutral therapist.

It’s one conversation with a clear purpose: make a plan that works, so things feel better or go better at home.

This Plan Works Best When:

  • You’ve hit a roadblock on one parenting decision, even though you collaborate well otherwise
  • You want to prevent a disagreement from escalating
  • You’re both willing to come to the table and move forward

In Just One 60-Minute Session, You’ll Get:

  • A calm, therapist-guided conversation
  • A shared action plan tailored to your child’s needs
  • An Expert Written Plan after the session, outlining key takeaways, agreements, and recommended next steps. (Please note: These are not legal documents and do not alter any existing legal agreements. They are intended only to summarize the points on which co-parents have mutually agreed during our meetings.)

Your child doesn’t need you to be best friends—just a little more aligned.

Peace at Both Homes

The Peace at Both Homes Path

Monthly, Intensive plan for Co-Parents Who Want to Lower the Conflict and Put Kids First

When communication between parents breaks down, children feel it—no matter how hard you try to shield them. The Peace at Both Homes Path is designed for co-parents who want to move forward with fewer arguments, less tension, and more emotional security for everyone involved.

This isn’t couples therapy. It’s a practical, therapist-guided approach to help two parents work better together—for their child’s sake.

What You’ll Gain:

  • A calm, neutral and structured space to reset expectations
  • A shared communication agreement based on clarity and respect
  • Therapist tools to prevent escalation and miscommunication
  • A written summary of agreements you can refer back to as needed
  • Model for shared decision-making

You Might Be Ready for This If:

  • You’re stuck in conflict about logistics, decisions, or boundaries
  • Small conversations often turn into big arguments
  • Your child is picking up on the tension—or saying something about it
  • You’re not ready (or don’t want) legal intervention but still need support to de-escalate and stay calm in your interactions

Includes:

  • Two monthly 60-minute joint sessions
  • Getting Started one-on-one Meeting with the Therapist who will get to know your individual parenting priorities
  • Customized Decision-Making Plan, written just for you. Use this for your future shared parenting decisions
  • Therapist-crafted written summary, tailored to your specific situation
  • Structured accountability check-ins

When your child says, “I just want you to stop fighting,” this is where you begin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both parents need to attend?

Yes. Aligned Parenting is designed for active co-parenting collaboration, so both parents need to be present to make the most of each session.

Is this the same as mediation or legal support?

Nope. This is a therapist-guided service focused on communication and coordination—not legal advice or dispute resolution.

Can Aligned Parenting change our custody agreement?

No. Any agreements made here are meant to improve day-to-day parenting and demonstrate collaborative parent decision-making—not replace or modify legal documents. You are encouraged to consult legal counsel about your specific situation.

What if we don’t agree on something during our session?

That’s okay. Your therapist will help you explore options, clarify goals, and identify next steps—even if you don’t land on a final answer right away.

Will my insurance pay for this?

While Aligned Parenting is designed to offer many potential benefits, improve quality of life and may reduce symptoms of stress, it is not designed to diagnose or treat any specific medical condition. Our services do not meet medical necessity criteria for insurance coverage.
