All of our Florida Parenting Programs are approved by Florida's Department of Children and Families and will meet your court requirement.
Florida family courts require that parents with minor children who are divorcing or breaking up complete a parenting course, just like this one, before a judge can finalize visitation, custody or child support orders.
You can meet your court requirement by attending one of my 'Live' classes, or if you have a busy schedule take the convenient online class.
Dr. Josephine Whalen
The decision to enter therapy is a courageous choice that can help empower people and help them achieve positive changes. As a New York trained psychologist, I pride myself on being an experienced, knowledgeable, nonjudgmental therapist, and offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each individual. I currently see adults of all ages for issues such as anxiety, depression, career changes, life transitions, marital issues, unsatisfying relationships, parenting issues, divorce, and loss or grief. In addition, I also work with children and adolescents, and have been trained in play therapy, a more comfortable way for younger children to express themselves.
I offer individual, couples and family therapy. An additional area of expertise is in the area of divorce. As a certified Florida Supreme Court Family Mediator and Parent Coordinator, my resources in this area can help provide support through this challenging time. Sliding scale fees are available.
Please visit my website at www.jowhalen.com for additional information. For families going through divorce, I have written a children's book about coping with divorce, titled "Dash's Broken Heart". It is available for purchase on Amazon.com.
