Reunification & Co-Parenting Therapy in Louisville, KY

Divorce and separation don't end the family. They change its shape. And how families navigate that change has a lasting impact on every person in it — especially children.

This work sits at the intersection of family therapy, clinical consultation, and practical support. It's not about choosing sides. It's about helping families function well enough that kids aren't caught in the middle.

Family Reunification Therapy

When a child has been estranged from a parent — through divorce, conflict, or court involvement — reunification requires careful, structured work. I provide therapeutic reunification services that prioritize the child's safety and wellbeing while supporting the rebuilding of meaningful family relationships. The pace is set by the child's readiness, not the calendar.

• Court-ordered and voluntary reunification therapy
• Structured reunification sessions with documentation
• Coordination with attorneys, GALs, and court systems
• Assessment and progress reporting as needed

High-Conflict Co-Parenting Therapy

High-conflict co-parenting is exhausting for parents and devastating for children. Co-parenting therapy isn't couples therapy. It's focused, practical, and child-centered. The goal is to help two people who may not like each other parent well together.

• Communication protocols and conflict de-escalation
• Decision-making frameworks for shared parenting
• Transition management and child adjustment
• Parenting plan development support

For Attorneys, Guardians ad Litem & Courts

Family-law professionals need a therapist who understands how court-involved cases actually work — someone who keeps clear records, communicates within proper boundaries, and won't be rattled by the adversarial context surrounding the clinical work.

I bring more than 20 years of clinical experience, including extensive work with court-involved families in Jefferson County and surrounding Kentucky courts. My practice is structured for these cases:

• Court-informed process — clear scope, defined roles, and expectations established in writing at intake
• Documentation — structured session records and progress reporting, released as appropriate under court order and proper authorizations
• Coordination — professional communication with counsel, GALs, and the court within the boundaries set at the outset
• Availability for testimony — when ordered or appropriately requested, with fees for court-related time set out in advance

To refer a case: call 502-225-3025, book a free 15-minute consult online, or use the contact form with brief case context — the family situation, any existing orders, and what the court or parties are seeking. I respond within one business day.

Fees & Insurance

Court-involved and co-parenting services are generally considered legal-adjacent rather than medical treatment, so insurance rarely covers them — this is a private-pay service, which also keeps the clinical work independent. The fee structure — sessions, documentation time, and any court-related time — is provided in writing during the initial consultation, so every party knows the terms before the work begins.

Common Questions

What is reunification therapy?

Structured therapeutic work to rebuild the relationship between a child and a parent after estrangement. It is gradual, child-centered, and prioritizes the child's safety and wellbeing at every step.

Is it only for court-ordered cases?

No. I work with both court-ordered and voluntary cases. Many families begin this work on their own, before or instead of court involvement.

Do both parents participate in co-parenting therapy?

It works best with both parents involved, though sessions may be joint, separate, or a structured combination depending on the level of conflict. The format is designed around what keeps the work productive and the children out of the middle.

Will you provide reports or records to the court?

Documentation, progress reporting, and records are provided as appropriate under court order and with proper releases. The scope of any reporting is established clearly at the outset so all parties — family and counsel — know what to expect.
