Overview of Services

We specialize in helping families through divorce. We offer a variety of services, which we can tailor to your particular situation. We can also refer you to other professionals who can be part of the team supporting you through the process.

We offer custody evaluation for parents who cannot reach agreement or who want expert input into their decision-making. We offer comprehensive evaluations (taking 10-12 weeks), which consider all elements of a custody agreement and limited scope evaluations (taking 2-4 weeks), which focus on limited areas. These are sometimes called 'focused', 'brief' or 'solution-focused' evaluations. We also offer confidential mini-evaluations, which can be used to help break an impasse in a mediation or as part of a collaborative law process.

We offer Custody Mediation for divorcing parents who want to set up parenting plans at the point of separation. Mediation can also be useful after divorce, as circumstances change or children develop.

We offer Psychotherapy for children, adults, couples and families.

We offer Parenting Plan Coordination, also known as "Special Mastering" for parents who need our expertise to provide ongoing mediation, with arbitration when necessary, to avoid repeated returns to court for minor decisions.

We offer Consultation to individual parents or attorneys. We also offer business consultation and mediation services through our consulting organization, Strachan Consulting. We can act as coaches or child specialists in collaborative law cases that focus on avoiding litigation.
