The C.A.R.E. Co-Parenting Program

Co-Parenting Awareness Respect Empowerment

When co-parenting is marked by tension, miscommunication, or ongoing court involvement, even routine interactions can escalate quickly. Messages grow longer. Emotions run higher. And parents often find themselves reacting in ways that don’t reflect their values or serve their children—simply because the situation feels loaded.

The C.A.R.E. Co-Parenting Program was created specifically for parents in these dynamics. This program is not about fixing your co-parent, persuading them to change, or revisiting past conflict. It is about equipping you with practical tools to respond differently, even when the other parent does not.

Over the course of 10 weeks participants learn how to

De-escalate communication without avoiding necessary conversations
Respond to high-conflict messages in ways that are clear, measured, and court-aware
Reduce reactive patterns that keep conflict going
Set and maintain boundaries without fueling power struggles
Communicate in ways that protect emotional energy and support child stability

A core feature of this program is separate group placement for co-parents. Parents are intentionally assigned to different groups to support psychological safety, reduce reactivity, and allow each participant to focus on their own skill development—without fear of judgment, retaliation, or cross-group conflict. This is a structured, psychoeducational, skills-based group grounded in evidence-informed practices. The focus is on building practical communication and regulation skills that can be applied to real-world co-parenting interactions.

Program Structure

10-week live online program
Small, intentionally structured groups
Co-parents placed in separate groups
Designed for high-conflict and court-involved dynamics
Evidence-informed, skills-based approach

You may not be able to control how your co-parent shows up.
But when you change how you respond, you change what the conflict feeds on.

This program is for parents who are ready to step out of survival mode, communicate with greater clarity, and create more consistency and stability for their children—regardless of how the other parent behaves.

Individual & Family Therapy

Everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the best version of themselves and their family no matter what conditions they may find themselves in. It is my intention to assist you and your family to restore, strengthen, and sustain your emotional health. I lead with a strength based, solution focused approach with an energetic flare. In the 13+ years that I've worked along side families, I have learned two important truths: (1) all families are incredibly unique and (2) despite their differences they all seem to strive for peace, balance, and most of all, a sense of happiness. I have extensive experience working with court involved families due to custody disputes and conflict within the co-parenting relationships. I am a hope merchant through and through: I have been told that I can come across as being "too positive", to which my response is generally, "thanks for noticing." My passion is helping families prosper.

Men's Mental Health

Because You Matter Too

A lot of men find it difficult to reach out for emotional support, because the world they were raised in bombarded them with messages that men who showed emotions are weak. I am here to help individuals break that stigma so that our good men of this generation can finally heal from the trauma passed down to them sold as “male culture.”

“For the men who aren’t afraid to open their hearts. For the men who embrace vulnerability. For the men who look at themselves and do the soul work. For the men who honor their sons’ empathic tears. For the men who listen to their daughters’ voices. For the men who are always showing up, you are all loved.” -Simi Fromen

About Michael Egan, LMFT

Hi, I’m Michael Egan, owner of You & Yours LLC and a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in co-parenting counseling, high-conflict communication, and family systems work.

While my training and experience matter, I believe effective co-parenting counseling starts with something simpler: being human. I understand the full range of emotions that show up in family relationships—joy, connection, frustration, anxiety, and grief—and how easily those emotions can derail communication between co-parents. Strong emotions aren’t the problem; they’re often a strength. The challenge is learning how to respond to them in ways that protect both parents and children.

I have over 13 years of experience working alongside families, including parents navigating high-conflict co-parenting, separation, divorce, and court-involved situations. My work focuses on helping parents move out of reactive communication patterns and into more structured, intentional co-parenting relationships that reduce conflict and create stability for children.

One of the most meaningful parts of my work is preparing families to no longer need me. When parents reach a place where communication improves, conflict decreases, and goals are met, the shift in the room is tangible. That moment—when parents feel equipped to move forward on their own—is the true measure of successful co-parenting counseling.

I care deeply about the families I work with, and I approach co-parenting counseling with diligence, honesty, and respect. Whether you are struggling with communication, navigating ongoing conflict, or seeking a more structured co-parenting plan, my goal is to help you find clarity, reduce stress, and move forward with confidence. If you’re looking for co-parenting counseling or support with high-conflict communication, I invite you to reach out and see if You & Yours LLC is the right fit for you and your family.
