This poster from Prague shows that which we seek to prevent through collaborative process: A child caught in a power struggle between the parents.

Collaborative Practice helps people achieve a respectful mutual resolution of disputes, including divorce, for the benefit of the children and adults alike. Collaborative professionals work in a team of attorneys, coaches (who are all licensed therapists), and neutral others to "sit around the kitchen table" with you and assist in your coming to agreement without resorting to the expense and stress of going to court.

Dr. Weser is an active Collaborative Coach with Collaborative Council of the Redwood Empire and International Association of Collaborative Professionals. She can help you with your divorce or other dispute, match you with an attorney, and meet with you one-on-one as well as in team meetings of 2, 4 or 5 professionals, supporting you throughout.
