Supervised Visitation Processes (Supportive or Therapeutic):
The goal of Supportive (Quasi-Therapeutic) Supervised Visitation is to allow a parent/guardian or other family member/individual the opportunity to build a relationship with a minor in a safe setting where the child’s needs are paramount. Although trained and licensed as a therapist as well as a domestic mediator and parenting coordinator, this process is not psychotherapy or custody evaluative in nature. Therapeutic Supervised Visitation is a distinct process where a full clinical assessment is performed and specific goals are created and achieved during the visits; this process is considered a form of psychotherapy, however is not a custody evaluation.
