Perhaps it has been some time since you went through separation and your child is still not quite his/her usual self… Do you worry how your separation/divorce has affected your child? Are you wondering how your child is adjusting to your new partner or to the constant back-and-forth between the two homes.

I offer post-divorce evaluations for children and teens. These assessments can be useful for parents who do not feel that their situation requires a long-term commitment to therapy. You might just need a professional opinion (i.e. a quick check-in). A post-divorce assessment can also help those parents who went through a high-conflict divorce and know that their ex-partner will not consent to long-term therapy, but might be interested in getting the child evaluated in a quick and transparent fashion.

This is how it works: I speak with both parents separately to gather information. We can do it on the phone or by zoom. Next, we schedule 1 or 2 sessions with the child. We can do this in person in the office or by zoom. You will need to decide which parent (or both) will be present. Finally, we arrange a feedback session by zoom with both parents. Here we discuss my clinical impressions of your child’s situation. I will provide you with tools necessary to improve your ability to co-parent and also identify your weak spots. The feedback meeting can be done separately with each parent.
