  • We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.

CUSTODY MEDIATION: When parents do not agree on a parenting plan for their child, participating in mediation with Dr. Sophia Engle can help parents explore options from a new perspective - using different thinking - that leads to possible solutions.

Whether you are making your first parenting plan, or you have had multiple iterations, bumping into a co-parenting impasse can be discouraging. Guidance from an expert can help minimize acrimony between parents and focus on parenting goals that are in your child’s best interests.
