Supervised Visitation



As a highly skilled and dedicated professional supervised visitation monitor, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to ensure the safety and well-being of families in challenging situations. With a firm commitment to providing a secure and nurturing environment, I have successfully facilitated countless visitations, always prioritizing the best interests of the children involved.
My extensive background in Family Crisis Management, Early Childhood Education, Applied Behavior Analysis, Mental Health First Aid and Community Social Work equips me with a deep understanding of the dynamics within families and the importance of maintaining healthy relationships. I am adept at effectively managing high-stress situations, diffusing conflicts, and promoting positive communication between parents and children.
With a compassionate and non-judgmental approach, I strive to create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere for all parties involved. I take immense pride in my ability to build trust and rapport with families, ensuring that every visitation is conducted with the utmost professionalism and sensitivity.
What is Supervised Visitation?
Supervised visitation allows parents in high conflict or high risk situations access to their children in a safe and supervised environment. The noncustodial parent has access to the child only when supervised by another adult. Supervised visitation is used to protect children from potentially dangerous situations while allowing parental access and providing support for the parent child relationship.
Supervised visitation has many forms, including one-on-one supervision, group supervision, neutral or monitored exchange, telephone or video monitoring, and therapeutic supervision. .
-
One-on-one supervision is when one parent and that parent's children are supervised alone, but some providers allow guest to also attend.
-
Group supervision may include several parent-child groups in a larger area, supervised by one or more monitors.
-
Neutral or monitored exchange allows parents to pick up and drop off, or exchange the child for changes of possession, without direct contact with each other, minimizing conflict.
-
Telephone or video monitoring has become more popular as people move around the world more, allowing for monitoring of telephone, videoconferencing, and other virtual visitation.
-
Therapeutic supervision is conjoint parent-child therapy conducted by a licensed or certified mental health professional also trained to provide supervised visitation. This includes a student or intern in training for a post-graduate degree under the direct supervision of a licensed or certified mental health professional.
