High-Conflict Divorce
A unique, evidence-informed approach to managing couple and family dynamics
I help Intact Couples reestablish essential relationship dynamics. And I help Separated and Divorced Couples to manage the complexities of the Coparenting relationship, child emotional and behavioral difficulties, and the transition into blended family relationships. My coparenting seminar takes place several times a year and satisfies court-ordered coparenting education. I am a New York State Divorce Mediator and Parenting Coordinator.
Couples Counseling
I use state-of-the-science research and intervention to help pre-marital, marital, and never-married couples manage complex relationship dynamics associated with loss of trust, infidelity, transition to parenthood, extended family dynamics, and the effects of work schedules and life stressors on relationship satisfaction.
Coparenting Counseling
As a researcher in coparenting dynamics and evidence-based practitioner, I use the latest research on the effects of divorce and separation on children to help craft a parenting program that minimizes the effects of divorce and separation on children.
Parenting Coordination
Parenting Coordination is a specialized intervention for high-conflict parents of divorce or separation who have difficulty establishing the most essential coparenting behaviors. Parenting Coordination is a powerful and intensive approach to coparenting that is often accessed through the family court system.
Coparenting Courses & Seminars
I offer online courses on the essentials of coparenting as well as in-person seminars. These opportunities meet family court requirements for coparenting education.
Evidence-Informed Couples Counseling and Post-Separation Coparenting
We have openings for couples counseling and coparenting counseling

Post-Divorce Coparenting Counseling
Healthy coparenting dynamics greatly minimize the negative effects of divorce on children. Using the latest research on the effects of divorce and separation on parenting we will help you and your co-parent to develop adaptive coparenting skills to minimize or avoid the negative effects of separation on your children
High-Conflict Coparenting
When post-divorce coparents are unable to communicate effectively, I work closely with attorneys, law guardians, extended family members, and coparents to develop and enforce a parenting plan that places the best interest of children first.
Education for Couples and Coparents
I offer webinars, online courses, and in-person seminars to educate parents on evidence based best practices for effective marital and coparent relationships.

In the first 6 months of our separation my ex and I weren’t even able to talk on the phone without emotions going crazy. We learned some important skills in Greg’s webinar. We’re not perfect, but we can finally talk about parenting without overreacting.
When I separated from my wife I didn’t realize that we needed to learn a new approach to parenting. Greg helped us to realign and work together in a different way. Our kids are doing great!
Greg’s way of explaining the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and relationships was so interesting. It really is a different way of thinking about our relationships.
