Private divorce coaching and co-parenting counseling with Julia Hoffman

You deserve time to grieve your marriage.

But your kids deserve stability now.

I’m here to help you build it—together.

Our work together would include…

Weekly Sessions

If you're in the DFW area, we will meet in my Dallas office. I also do in home sessions if that’s what you prefer.

If you're outside the area, or prefer to meet virtually, sessions are online. In both cases, I provide text and phone support between meetings.

Real-Time Support

I don’t just show up for scheduled sessions — I’m here between them too. When things get tense, clients have access to phone and text support, so you're never alone in high-stress moments. Sometimes, a five-minute call can prevent a five-day fallout.

Customized Parenting Plans

A solid parenting plan is more than just a schedule — it’s the foundation for your child’s safety and sense of security. I’ll help you sort out routines, communication, and logistics so you’re planning with intention, not just reacting.

What works for a toddler won’t work for a teen, so we’ll tailor the plan to your family’s needs and your child’s stage of development — always keeping their well-being front and center.

Legal and Professional Alignment

While your attorneys, mediators, or other professionals focus on their roles, I help you manage your role as parents—making sure your family’s emotional and day-to-day needs are addressed.

The result: A comprehensive, realistic parenting plan that prevents misunderstandings, minimizes future conflict, and gives your child the gift of consistency in the middle of major change.

Why It Works

My practice stays small for a reason: you get more than a therapist or coach. You get someone who’s walked this path and will walk it with you — helping you shift out of crisis, stay out of court, and build a plan for what’s next.

If you’re looking for quick fixes or occasional check-ins, this may not be the right fit. But if you want high-level, personalized support that changes the trajectory of your family’s future — you’re in the right place.

 FAQs

  • This work is very different from traditional therapy. It’s action-oriented and focused on practical solution. Instead of looking at the past, we focus on today—improving how you co-parent now and moving forward.

  • Attorneys handle the legal side of divorce, but they’re not trained to help you co-parent. Coaching gives you the tools to communicate, minimize conflict, and create stability for your kids—saving you stress, legal fees, and even future counseling costs. The more you prevent conflict today, the better your co-parenting relationship will be tomorrow. It’s an investment in your family’s future.

  • While joint participation is my preferred way to get you what you want, it’s definitely is not mandatory. Individual coaching can still provide you with effective strategies to manage co-parenting challenges and improve the overall dynamic, even if the other parent chooses not to engage.

  • It depends on what you need. Some parents just need a few months to create a solid parenting plan. Others work with me for 6-12 months and check back in if and when new challenges come up.

  • I work on a monthly retainer of $2,500, which enables me to be available to you for six 90 minute sessions plus phone and text support in between.
