Co-Parenting & Parenting Alignment Therapy

Nothing strains a marriage quite like a child’s struggle—especially if your child is navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, or school anxiety. When parents disagree on discipline, the child feels the instability and the marriage feels the heat. At PPG, we help you move from "Good Cop / Bad Cop" back to a unified, supportive team.

Our approach

The Insight

We identify the "Parenting Scripts" you both brought into the relationship. We help you see why you react differently to your child's behaviors and how those differences are creating a wedge in your partnership.

The Action

We build a "Family Manifesto." We develop shared boundaries and communication strategies that respect both parents' values while prioritizing the child’s clinical needs, ending the cycle of "undermining" and resentment.

Clinical methods

Collaborative Problem Solving

A framework for handling high-stakes parenting moments without escalating into a marital fight.

Parenting Style Integration

Tools to bridge the gap between "Strict" and "Permissive" styles to create a predictable environment for your child.

PMT-Informed Strategy

Integrating Parent Management Training directly into your relational dynamic.

How specialties work together at PPG

The PPG Difference: This is our most powerful differentiator. If your child is seeing a PPG specialist for ADHD or Anxiety, your couples therapist can (with consent) coordinate "behind the scenes" with the child's team. We ensure your parenting alignment directly supports your child’s clinical goals, creating a 360-degree loop of care.
