Professional Consultation
Do you avoid working with families with high-conflict co-parents for fear of becoming part of the legal battle?
You are not alone. Most clinicians avoid taking on cases when high-conflict co-parenting is involved for fear of being pulled into court.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. As a clinician with over 15 years of experience, Kate can attest to the fact that you can do this work without getting involved in the family’s legal fight. With the right tools, you can provide the support needed to these families without ever seeing the inside of a court room.

Does the idea of working with these families feel challenging and emotionally draining?
That is because it can be. High conflict divorce families are some of the most complex family systems to work with, whether you are working with the co-parents, the family, or the child. Every co-parent conversation can turn into a fight, every decision can become a point of conflict, and boundaries are often challenged. These cases can fill up your inboxes and your emotional bandwidth.
But it can be easier. With the consistent application of necessary protocols, boundaries, and communication from the start of treatment, you can contain your work with these families and focus on your client and their treatment goals.

Do you have clients navigating divorce and feel unsure how best to support them?
There is a lot to know. If you don’t work with clients directly around divorce, you may feel at a loss for how to support them as they begin to navigate this difficult process. There are emotional, financial, and legal considerations which can feel overwhelming to both you and your client.
Knowledge is power. Having a basic understanding of things like divorce process options, parenting plans, professionals involved, and where to start can help you feel equipped to help your client move into the process feeling supported and prepared.

Has a current case gotten derailed by co-parent conflict?
This is hard. Maybe you didn’t know that families of divorce benefit from intentional protocols and procedures or maybe your case started off smooth but co-parent conflict has derailed your work. Either way, you may be feeling like it is time to change your approach to keep your clinical care on track.
It is never too late to course correct. While it may be a little more challenging to put the necessary procedures and protocols in place once your case has become impacted by co-parent conflict, it is still essential. With direct and transparent communication, you can help the co-parents refocus treatment on the most vulnerable person, the child.
