Supervised Visitation
When council & courts require supervised visitation, Sam Sternberg, MSS LSW, a licensed social worker trained in court appointed therapy and high-conflict family systems, is available to assist in a comfortable, mindful and meaningful way.
During supervised visitation families are welcome to remain in our bright and comfortable indoor common areas, enjoy the games and toys in our lobby, play outside in the yard or walk, drive or ride the train to local shops and activities.
Co-Parenting Coordination (Voluntary)
Co-Parenting Coordination is a voluntary therapeutic avenue for families with divorced parents to learn to raise their children together. Having a Co-Parenting Coordinator allows both parents to be heard and have their morals, values, and desires for their children incorporated into a mutually agreed upon parenting plan.
When parents approach Shana for non-court ordered Co-Parenting Coordination, they are seeking a neutral party to help determine the best course of action for the well-fare of the child/children. Attending Co-Parenting Coordination helps couples create a mutually-agreed upon plan for their children’s care in a calm and safe environment. Each parents needs and concerns will be heard and considered. As a Co-Parenting Coordinator Shana will provide insight and advice to help couples who feel stuck find a meaningful resolution.
Parenting Coordination (With a Court Order)
It is not uncommon for the court to require divorcing couples participate in Parent Coordination to agree on key aspects of their children’s care. Shana will meet with you to discuss the issue that has brought you to Parent Coordination. The mutual goal will be to calmly discuss both sides of the issue and come to a resolution that both parents can follow. After the resolution is agreed upon, Shana will report your decision to the court.
