Are you a divorced parent struggling to make a parenting plan that meets your children’s needs? Does every conversation with your ex end in an argument? Do you want to find a way to co-parent effectively but feel exhausted by the divorce process? When you’re divorcing and have children, making decisions about parenting time and duties can be daunting. You have to have these conversations with someone you struggle to communicate with. You and your former spouse can create new, fulfilling lives while raising happy, healthy children with the proper support.
I am certified in basic mediation and divorce mediation. I have 15 years of experience in the mental health field to help divorcing couples communicate effectively and create parenting plans that meet the needs of their joint children. l can meet with individuals or couples via telehealth, depending on your unique needs.
Divorce is challenging. Whether the separation is amicable or not, you’re dividing households and reestablishing yourself. Effective communication can make the process easier and ensure you get results that work for your family. Reach out today to see if Rachel is the right mediator for your co-parenting struggles.
