co-parent Coaching
co-parent COaching
Co-parenting after separation or divorce can be difficult, especially when communication breaks down or conflict is ongoing.
Susan Wiggin, PhD, provides co-parent coaching that supports parents in lowering conflict, strengthening communication, and making thoughtful decisions that prioritize their children.
Co-parent coaching is a structured, goal-oriented process. It is not therapy or mediation and does not focus on revisiting the past. Instead, co-parent coaching addresses current challenges and future decision-making, helping parents develop practical skills they can apply in everyday co-parenting situations.
Helping Parents Co-Parent Effectively
Susan works directly with parents to address communication challenges, decision making conflicts, and insufficient parenting plans that can keep parents stuck. Drawing on her education and professional expertise in conflict resolution, she provides clear guidance, practical tools, and direct feedback to help parents reduce conflict and move forward more effectively.
During separation or divorce, life changes significantly for everyone involved, especially children. Developing workable plans during this time can feel overwhelming. Susan supports parents in creating clear, actionable solutions including contact schedules and the development of a structured parenting plan that promotes child-centered decision making and consistency across households.

How Co-Parent Coaching Supports Families
Parents who engage in co-parent coaching leave with clearer strategies, well-defined agreements, and greater confidence navigating co-parenting challenges. This coaching supports families by helping parents improve communication, reduce recurring conflict, and develop practical co-parenting strategies that prioritize children’s well-being.
Co-parent coaching is beneficial for parents with children of all ages, including adult children and stepchildren, recognizing that separation and divorce impact the entire family system.
The goal of co-parent coaching is to reduce obstacles for co-parents and support long-term stability for children as families adjust to life after divorce.
