Laura Wert began working with parents during the divorce process because of her work with children and adolescents. She found that the children’s success in any divorce is intimately tied to how well the parents work together. Feelings created during a divorce, including anger and grief, can be resolved if everyone commits to honest discussion. Laura’s job as coach or child specialist is to help these discussion move forward to creative solutions while keeping the kids’ needs at the center of the process.
