Court Involved Therapy Services

Professional, Child-Centered Support for Families Navigating Legal Systems

At Unified Family Therapy, we specialize in court-informed, family systems therapy that supports individuals and families involved in legal proceedings. Our approach is grounded in empathy, clinical integrity, and a deep understanding of the complexities of the family law system.

⚖️ Who We Serve

While the court may mandate therapeutic services, participation at Unified Family Therapy is always voluntary. We work with clients who are ready and willing to engage in the therapeutic process—genuinely seeking growth, insight, and healing.

Not all individuals are appropriate for court-involved services, and we take care to ensure that those participating are aligned with the goals and structure of this unique process.

🧩 Our Court-Informed Approach

We work collaboratively with:

Family courts
Attorneys
Guardians ad litem
Custody evaluators
Mental health professionals

Our aim is to ensure that all therapeutic services are empirically based, child-centered, developmentally informed, and systemically sound. Every therapist at Unified Family Therapy is AFCC-trained (Association of Family and Conciliation Courts) and equipped with the knowledge to support families in both litigation and post-litigation contexts.

💼 Consultation Services

Our clinical team offers consultation that may occur:

In advance of legal proceedings
Concurrent with ongoing cases
Retrospective of court actions

In all cases, we strictly follow ethical guidelines, professional standards, and best practices. Above all, we are committed to a singular focus: supporting the needs of each individual client without compromising therapeutic values.

🧒 Court-Ordered Family Systems Therapy

This specialized service helps rebuild and repair parent-child relationships disrupted by high-conflict divorce or estrangement. Children may align with one parent or become caught in parental conflict—often unintentionally.

Our structured yet flexible approach may include:

Individual therapy for parents and/or children
Family therapy sessions
Co-parenting therapy
A team-based collaboration focused on restoring connection and emotional safety

Our goal is to support children and parents in reestablishing healthy, supportive bonds.

🤝 Co-Parenting Support (Mediation-Focused)

Our co-parenting meetings provide a business-like, goal-oriented setting for separated or divorced parents. This service is not for conflict resolution, but instead supports:

Productive communication
Unified parenting strategies
Consistency in decision-making
Prioritization of the child’s emotional and developmental needs

It is a structured service designed to promote collaboration, not address emotional conflict between parents.

📂 Case Management Services

We offer a wide range of case-related administrative services, including:

Court letters and treatment summaries
Progress and final reports
Phone consultations
Classroom observations and IEP meetings
Records requests and professional coordination
Email communication on behalf of the client

⚠️ These services are not billable to insurance and are the financial responsibility of the client.
