Child-Parent Psychotherapy as Supportive Therapy in Reunification Cases

(CPP) for Reunification Support in California

A Safe, Supportive Space for Children Navigating Reunification and Custody Challenges

At The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling, we provide specialized child-parent psychotherapy (CPP) reunification support as part of a structured, child-centered approach to complex family cases.

This service is designed for children who need individual therapeutic support while participating in reunification therapy, ensuring they have a safe space to process emotions, build regulation, and move forward at a developmentally appropriate pace.

Specialized Therapy for Children in Reunification Cases

Children involved in custody disputes and reunification processes often experience emotional overwhelm, confusion, and internal conflict. Our approach offers therapy for children in reunification cases that prioritizes emotional safety while supporting long-term relational healing.

We provide child therapy during custody disputes in California, helping children navigate:

  • High-conflict co-parenting dynamics

  • Parent-child estrangement

  • Loyalty binds and emotional distress

  • Anxiety related to visitation or contact

Attachment-Based Therapy for Estranged Children

Our CPP-trained clinician offers attachment therapy for estranged children, focusing on strengthening the child’s sense of safety, trust, and emotional connection.

This approach is especially effective for:

  • Children experiencing disconnection from a parent

  • Children struggling with fear or resistance

  • Families needing a trauma-informed, developmentally sensitive approach

Supporting Children Resisting Visitation

We specialize in therapy for children resisting visitation, providing a neutral and supportive environment where children can:

✔ Express their emotions freely

This support plays a key role in helping children gradually move toward safe and supported reunification.
