There are many different types of coparenting arrangements. New Jersey calls shared joint custody 50-50 custody, and although this is the goal for many couples, it’s not always possible. Whatever your coparenting arrangement is, it can be hard to find the communication, boundaries, and schedule that work for both of you. Talking with your ex is hard enough; trying to raise a child with your ex can feel impossible.
That’s where Lifebulb's Toms River coparenting therapists can help.
Learn to work together for the good of your child (and your mental health) with the help of one of our co-parenting therapists.

Developed by John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman, this approach helps co-parents improve communication by reducing criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling while building respect and emotional regulation. For co-parents, it’s especially useful in learning structured conflict management, repairing conversations after blowups, and creating a more business-like, child-focused partnership grounded in mutual goals rather than past resentment.

EFT helps co-parents understand the emotional patterns driving their conflict—such as fear, rejection, or feeling unsupported. By identifying underlying attachment needs instead of staying stuck in surface arguments, co-parents can shift from reactive cycles to more secure, responsive interactions, making it easier to collaborate and reduce hostility for the sake of their children.

Imago Therapy teaches structured dialogue techniques that help former partners truly listen and validate each other’s perspectives. For co-parents, this reduces power struggles and defensiveness by slowing conversations down, increasing empathy, and helping each parent feel heard—even when they disagree—creating a more cooperative parenting dynamic.

CBT helps co-parents identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that fuel conflict, such as “They’re doing this on purpose” or “I can’t trust them at all.” By challenging distorted thinking and building healthier behavioral responses, co-parents can reduce reactivity, improve problem-solving, and approach disagreements with more clarity and flexibility.
