Stepfamily Solutions Methodology

The Stepfamily Foundation model we use has an 84% success rate since 1976!

The Stepfamily Foundation method we use has over 30 years of research backing its effectiveness.  Stepfamily Solutions coaches are trained and certified in this groundbreaking method. We first take each person’s point of view into account. We teach feuding clients to honor the other’s point of view and outline a mutually agreed upon structure for the couple and the family. We then help you create a clear shared goal. We assist you in developing and strengthening the skills to succeed.

Stepfamily Solutions pays particular attention to roles, rules, responsibilities, norms, manners, and discipline in the stepfamily system. The stepfamily structure’s impact on children is a primary focus. We help you increase couple strength and teach co-parenting strategies that work. We review how each of you have brought “baggage” from former partners and your family of origin into play. Rather than make this “baggage” the primary focus of the work, we help you quickly and deeply understand their impact and ways to effectively contain these old patterns that can get in the way.

Stepfamily Solutions teaches you how to solve problems unique to stepfamilies. We use strategies that yield significant increases in the health, strength and unity of your stepfamily.  You are free to be and happy and live in harmony. The proven method we use at Stepfamily Solutions takes the guesswork and hassle out of Living in Step.
