Coparenting Counseling will not heal the pain and hurt YOU FEEL from your divorce. You will need to do your own recovery and therapy for that to happen (and I hope that you do!), but Coparenting Counseling can be helpful in building a new relationship with your coparent. For kids of divorce, they have enough pain to deal with just getting over their family ending. Adding constant fighting to that pain is just not fair. For their sake, I urge you to get help if you need it, so your kids learn that divorce is NOT the final word to their family, as they knew it.  There is hope for a new future and while their parents are no longer married they can get along, so everyone can move forward and have a better future.

After watching the movie, “Coda”, I wrote this blog to help Fathers and Daughters figure out new ways to connect.

As parents, we understand that the journey from childhood to adolescence seems fleeting—the days are long, yet the years are short. It feels like one moment we are watching our children take their first steps and then we are quickly learning to handle mood swings, friendships, and academic pressure. During their junior and senior years, navigating this transition well means balancing our desire to protect them with their need for increased independence which may mean they fail and then learn.

At Sparrow Counseling, we understand that embarking on a couples counseling journey is unique and deeply personal. This is why each couples intensive in Birmingham, AL, is specially designed and personalized for each couple. Throughout this immersive experience, you will not just address your surface-level issues but also delve deeper into the underlying dynamics of your relationship. All of this is done in a comfortable and secure setting, with the help of a skilled professional.

“Therapy’s SO expensive!”. Yes, it is, and so is divorce. In Alabama, the going rate to divorce your spouse is $7,000, and that’s if it’s uncontested. If you haven’t already come to an agreement on things like the division of your assets and debts, alimony, child custody, child support, and more, then yours is classified as a contested divorce. Contested divorces average $14,000 - $20,000 and all this while still trying to focus on day-to-day needs like your career, your home, your kids, and yourself.
