Co-Parenting Counseling
A Skills-Based Approach that Addresses Needs
and Builds Resilience
The Problem
Anger. Rage, actually. Rage and resentment at levels that scare you sometimes.
Fear, too. Fear of the unknown. Fear that there won’t be enough. Fear that you’ll be alone forever. Fear that the children won’t be okay.
And loneliness.
And grief. Grief that sneaks up on you in unexpected moments and literally takes your breath away.
In the midst of these overwhelming emotions, when life feels completely out of control and you cannot even think straight, you are forced to work together with the very person who is ripping your heart out to make a plan for sharing the loves of your life.
Even for those rare couples who are not engulfed in hostility, betrayal, and disappointment, trying to agree on a co-parenting plan can be a catalyst for gut-wrenching conflict.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
The Solution
It is possible to use the process of creating a co-parenting plan as an opportunity to get your needs met, activate your strengths, and build a mindset that will allow you to make the best decisions for and take care of your children and yourself.
This is the essence of my resilience training model.
20 years of resilience training and couples counseling has shown me that resilience can be taught, and learning it at those moments when life has brought you to your knees allows you to stand up again as a better version of yourself.
Applying resilience training to co-parenting counseling transforms the process
from one of pain and demoralization to one of hope and empowerment.

The MacDermott Method Resilience Model
Why not deepen your self-awareness as you create a new life for yourself and your children?
Structuring your life around your STRENGTHS and your children's strengths builds self-esteem at a time when everyone needs to feel empowered.
Making your NEEDS a priority and balancing them with those of your children is key to creating a new environment in which everyone can regroup and ultimately flourish.
Living in alignment with your VALUES allows you to feel good about yourself as you create your new normal.
Making sure the BELIEFS you choose to create your new life with serve you is critical to moving forward with optimism and purpose.
