High Conflict Co-Parenting Project
Protecting Your Children From Your Conflict 

A Two-Therapist Model for Co-Parenting Counseling

If you’re facing high-conflict co-parenting challenges, the High Conflict Co-Parenting Project provides the expertise and structure needed to move forward in a productive, healing way.

Let us help you prioritize your children's well-being and work toward a healthier future for your family. 

The primary purpose of the High Conflict Co-Parenting Project (HCCPP) is to offer a forum where parents can establish positive and cooperative communication methods to support them in making joint parenting choices to help their children thrive. 

Referral & Intake Process

Referral Process: Clients may be referred by judicial officers, attorneys, child custody recommending counselors, other professionals, or may choose to self-refer.

Building Your Therapy Team: Each HCCPP team consists of two neutral therapists and both parents. Start by exploring the Therapists and reaching out to one or more that you’d be open to working with. Once you connect with a therapist who has availability, they can help identify the second therapist for your team.

What to Expect
Once your team is established, the process includes:

  • Intake Documents – Both parents complete required paperwork.

  • Individual Intake Sessions – A one-on-one session with your primary therapist to set goals and expectations.

  • 4-Way Sessions – The core of the work happens in structured, therapist-guided meetings, typically via Telehealth. These sessions may include:

    • Individual coaching with your primary therapist.

    • A co-parenting session with both parents and both therapists.

    • A debriefing session with your primary therapist.

    • Ongoing therapist collaboration to ensure effective progress.

We believe that the two-therapist model is effective in working with high conflict parents in the following areas: 

Why a 2-Therapist Model?

  • It provides individual support within and outside of the sessions to help each parent stay focused, on track, and moving towards the best interests of the child(ren). 

  • The two-counselor model increases the likelihood of feeling supported, understood while promoting and modeling quality communication and cooperation. 

  • Encourages feedback after each session from the parents to the counselors, thus enabling the counselors to refocus future sessions as needed. 

  • The objective of this service is to be more efficient at reaching the goals of co-parent counseling, thus saving money for the clients, reducing or eliminating the need for further Court involvement. 

  • More structure for co-parents who have tried co-parent counseling previously and have had limited success. 

  • By having two therapists in the room each parent may feel more comfortable and supported.
