Divorce, Separation & Co-Parenting Support
Helping families navigate change with connection, clarity, and care.
Divorce and separation bring changes for the whole family. Parents may be navigating difficult communication, new routines, and questions about how to support their children. Children may be working through feelings they cannot yet put into words.
Dana Hillman-Sabato provides parenting coordination, co-parenting support, and parent consultation, drawing on her background in child development, children’s mental health, and parent-child relationships. If parents receive these services with Dana, their child’s play therapy must be provided by a different clinician within the practice to maintain clear and separate professional roles.
Parenting Coordination
Structured support to help separated or divorced parents address recurring disagreements, improve communication, and navigate everyday parenting decisions with their children’s needs at the center.
Co-Parenting Support
Joint support to help parents communicate more effectively, manage differences, and develop child-centered approaches to parenting across two homes.
Parent Consultation
Individual support to help you understand your child’s feelings and behavior, navigate family changes, and develop practical parenting strategies that strengthen your connection.

Parent Coordinator
When co-parenting feels stuck, structured support can help parents address recurring disagreements and keep their children’s needs at the center of decisions.
Parenting coordination offers a space to work through everyday parenting concerns outside of court. By addressing disagreements early, clarifying expectations, and developing practical solutions, the process aims to reduce repeated court involvement and the stress, time, and expense that can come with ongoing litigation.
The goal is to help parents manage challenges more effectively, follow their parenting plan, and build a more predictable environment for their children. Depending on the agreed scope of services, support may include:
-
Parenting schedules and transitions between homes
-
Communication and information sharing
-
Routines, expectations, and parenting differences
-
Recurring disagreements about day-to-day parenting
-
Working through concerns before they escalate into legal disputes
-
Reducing children’s exposure to conflict
Together, we will establish a clear understanding of the coordinator’s role and how the process will work for your family, guided by your service agreement and any applicable court order.
