Parenting Coordination
Parenting Coordination in Boston, Marshfield, and Beyond
Structured Support for Co-Parenting During High-Conflict Situations
Parenting coordination helps families navigate the challenges of shared parenting, particularly during high-conflict separations, divorces, or custody disputes. At Crane Therapeutic Services, we provide professional parenting coordination that prioritizes children’s wellbeing while supporting parents in making informed, cooperative decisions.
Led by Larissa Crane, LICSW, RYT, our practice blends trauma-informed clinical expertise with structured, evidence-based processes. Whether sessions occur in the Back Bay or Marshfield offices, or via telehealth across Massachusetts, we aim to create clarity, reduce conflict, and help families move forward collaboratively.
Understanding Parenting Coordination
Parenting coordination is designed to support families when conflict or communication breakdowns interfere with effective co-parenting. A parenting coordinator serves as a neutral, professional guide to:
-
Clarify parenting plans and court orders
-
Facilitate cooperative communication between parents
-
Mediate disagreements over child-focused decisions
-
Reduce the impact of conflict on children’s emotional well-being
High-conflict parenting situations can manifest as:
-
Ongoing disputes about schedules, education, or medical decisions
-
Emotional escalation or communication breakdowns between parents
-
Challenges in implementing court orders or agreements
-
Stress and emotional strain are impacting children
Through parenting coordination, families gain guidance and structure to manage disagreements while keeping children’s best interests at the forefront.
Our Approach to Parenting Coordination
Parenting coordination at Crane Therapeutic Services is trauma-informed, structured, and individualized. Sessions focus on promoting clear communication, reducing emotional escalation, and building practical strategies that support both parents and children.
Collaborative & Neutral Support
We provide a neutral space where both parents are heard. By fostering cooperation and mutual understanding, parenting coordination helps reduce conflict and creates actionable solutions for ongoing co-parenting challenges.
Trauma-Informed Care
Parenting coordination recognizes that high-conflict situations can be emotionally triggering. Larissa Crane integrates trauma-informed awareness to help parents manage stress, regulate emotions, and make decisions with clarity and composure.
Child-Centered Focus
​All coordination is grounded in the best interests of the child. Guidance is designed to minimize stress on children and ensure that parenting decisions support their emotional, social, and developmental needs.
