Court-related Services
What best describes your internal experiences as a court-involved client?
Inadequate? Shame? Guilt? Anxiety? Anger? Sadness? Longing? Powerless? Out of Control?
Or, maybe, all of them?
How can I help?
Once you are in the court system, many things are out of your hands.
The court may order you to attend Reunification Therapy or/ and co-parenting counseling.
You rely on legal professionals to advocate for you. They are trained to deal with facts, procedures, and outcomes. But how about your internal experiences as a fellow human being?
I get it.
I worked as a court-appointed mediator, Child Custody Recommending Counselor in the courthouse. My experiences as a court professional are different from what we call "the parties" or “co-parents“.
I get to know the judges, clerks, mediators, and anyone who works in the courthouse as professionals and as humans. I am familiar with the rules of court for San Francisco and Alameda County. I know the expectations from the court of me, a mental health expert.
I can lend you my professional knowledge, professional experiences, and professional connections, as well as my calmness, ease, patience, and persistence.
