During Couples Conflict Coaching, meetings (intakes) are held with each party separately. This will allow parties the opportunity to confidentially share why they are in conflict so we can gain insight into the circumstances to gain an understanding of the client's perspectives and explore approaches to coach each party on a productive path toward a resolution.
During the joint session, we encourage each party to share their hopes and expectations for the marriage and children(if children are applicable). We will help clients unpack major issues contributing to the conflict to seek to understand those issues to dismantle those barriers.
Mediation:
The primary focus is to identify the goals, needs, and interests of the parties, and help them progress and move towards a settlement that is consistent with their interest that will benefit each party and children. As a collaborator and neutral mediator, my role is to help both sides:
* Understand the different paths to achieve their interest.
*Consider what divorce will mean and look like for you and the children involved.
*Communicate clearly what the issues that matter the most are.
* Draw on known strength and find unrecognized strength.
*Develop a plan for shared parenting.
*Develop and consider your goals for the future.
