Co-Parenting Support - KRISTEN NOLFI

Structure, Insight, and Practical Tools for Parents Raising Kids Across Households

Co-parenting isn’t just about getting along. It’s about building a working system—especially when dynamics are strained, emotions run high, or your child needs more than a standard approach.

This service supports parents navigating separation, custody agreements, or ongoing conflict. Using research-backed frameworks, personality-informed insight, and child-centered planning, I help co-parents shift the system—for the sake of their child’s emotional well-being.

Is This for You?

This coaching process may be a strong fit if:

You’re in conflict with a co-parent and want neutral, structured guidance
You need tools to de-escalate tension and make clearer decisions
Your co-parenting is affected by emotional reactivity, mismatched personalities, or communication breakdowns
Your child is showing signs of stress, shutdown, or acting out—and you’re not sure what they’re trying to say
You’re navigating school, court, or therapy systems without a clear roadmap
You’re open to insight that addresses both the relationship and the individual differences involved

What We’ll Focus On

Clarifying your current co-parenting style (using the Maccoby & Mnookin model)
Understanding each parent’s communication patterns, stress responses, and personality-based processing
Reducing triangulation and emotional burden on your child
Designing individualized parenting plans that reflect your child’s actual needs—not a generic template
Building calm, consistent structure across homes—even when parents disagree
Supporting your child’s unique neurodevelopmental profile, sensory needs, and emotional language

Why Individualized Support Matters

Children aren’t generic—and neither are families.

Some children are neurodivergent. Others have highly sensitive temperaments, strong personalities, or subtle communication differences.

A one-size-fits-all co-parenting plan can miss what really matters:

A child who “acts out” during transitions might be showing sensory overload
A child who seems withdrawn might be overwhelmed, not disinterested
A rigid schedule might work for one child—but unravel another

Your child’s nervous system, communication style, and developmental needs inform the structure we create. This work is about listening—beyond words—and building a plan that fits who your child actually is.

Tools & Approach

Personality Assessment System (PAS) to decode co-parenting conflict
Developmentally informed strategies for communication, regulation, and boundaries
Practical tools for transitions, routines, and school coordination
Coaching that addresses legal complexity without legal advice
Options for joint or individual sessions, depending on what serves the family best

What to Expect

This is not therapy. It’s structured, non-blaming, and outcome-oriented.

We begin with a joint intake session to clarify goals, understand your current dynamic, and gather relevant history. From there, sessions are shaped around what moves the system toward greater stability and child-focused alignment.

The Goal

You don’t have to be in agreement on everything.

But if you can agree to center your child’s emotional safety—and adapt to who they are—you can build something that works.
