Divorce Doesn’t Have to Damage Your Kids
I’ll Show You a Better Way
Private coaching for parents who want to end their marriage—without ending their family.
You never wanted to be here.
Divorce wasn’t in the plan—not for you, not for your kids. But here you are, navigating a time that feels terrifying.
You’ve heard the horror stories…
The kids who never recover.
The ex’s who turn into lifelong enemies.
The “broken” families that never quite heal.
Deep down, you’re asking yourself: Am I about to do that to my own kids?
The answer is NO.
You’re not.
I’m Julia. As a marriage and family counselor and divorce coach, I guide parents through tough transitions. Don’t believe the scary stories, a peaceful separation is possible - and the kids might be better for it.
Two Parents. Two Perspectives.
One Big Mess.
You may have seen a marriage counselor together, but now that you’re divorcing, you don’t have that same support.
Everyone retreats to their side of the ring with their own people, and things get really messy, really fast.
Two parents. Two therapists. Two lawyers. Two different stories. And suddenly, no one is talking—except through their attorneys.
That’s when families start to fracture—not because of the divorce, but because there’s no shared strategy for what comes next.
Most Parents Get Support.
Few Get Aligned.
What makes my approach unique—and effective—is that I work with both parents. That may sound impossible, but listen:
When I can see both of you—your strengths, your pain points, your parenting styles—I can actually help each of you more effectively.
Instead of two sets of advice that compete or conflict, you get one aligned strategy, one steady voice, and one shared goal: raising healthy, grounded kids, even in two homes.
I’m not working in a vacuum. I support each of you with full awareness of the other, which allows me to diffuse tension, clarify communication, and protect your child’s emotional well-being.
Because of the depth of this work, I only support a small number of families at a time. You’re not just a client—you’re in my care.
And that’s a responsibility I take seriously.
A New Kind of Parenting Plan,
for a New Kind of Family
I guide you through the decisions that matter most: schedules, communication, transitions, and expectations with:
✅ Private coaching and on-call support—for both of you— from someone who knows the emotional and practical realities inside and out
✅ Crisis management between sessions—helping you stay grounded and respond (not react) when things get messy
✅ Peace of mind knowing you’re doing everything possible to protect your children’s emotional well-being
It’s not about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things, at the right time, with someone who can guide both of you through it—clearly, calmly, and with your kids in mind.
Ready to sink your teeth into something that will help this minute? (I’ve felt that urgency, too.)
How to Navigate Divorce (without F*cking Up Your Kid)
The title not only comes from my propensity for profanity, but it’s also the #1 phrase I hear from parents.
From exactly how to tell the kids (and how NOT to, from experience) to helpful terminology and co-parenting resources, this 40 page e-book is here to help you learn how to parent together during and after your divorce.
The resource I wish someone had given me during my own divorce.

FAQ’s
-
Co-parenting coaching helps divorced or separated parents work together for their kids benefit. It’s action-oriented and focused on practical solutions, not therapy. Instead of looking at the past, we focus on today—improving how you co-parent now and moving forward.
-
I have a master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy, specialized training in crisis management, grief counseling, and child development, and I’m a Wayfinder Coach through Martha Beck’s program. But more than that—I’ve lived this. I was a child of divorce, a mom navigating divorce with three young kids, and for the past 15 years, I’ve been helping families through the toughest transitions. I bring both professional expertise and real-life experience to my work.
-
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.
-
If you're in the DFW area, we can meet at my home office or your home—whatever feels best for you. If you're outside the area, all sessions are online, with text and phone support between meetings for every client.
-
It depends on what you need. Some parents just need a few sessions 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 because I take a limited number of clients and want to be available when you need me. For pricing details or questions about payment options, email my assistant, Robyn, at robyn@juliahoffmancoaching.com.
Here is the good news.
This could be the most responsible, loving decision you ever make for your kids.
It's not the divorce that hurts children - it's the non-stop conflict in your home.
The tension, the resentment, the subtle (or not-so-subtle) battles waged in front of them. It doesn't have to be that way.
And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Take action today.
If you're in the thick of it—or just realizing your marriage is ending—you’re in the right place.
I’ve pulled together some free tools to help you take a breath, get clear, and start co-parenting with more purpose and less panic.
When you're ready for more than just resources—reach out.
I work closely with a small number of families at a time, so if you’re looking for steady guidance, clear direction, and someone who can actually help you co-parent through this chaos, let’s talk.
No salesy pressure. Just a real conversation about what support could look like.
