Who We Are And What We Can Do For You?
At Healing Families, our goal is to provide a more natural, comfortable environment for supervised or therapeutic parenting-time. We are able to accomplish this by going offsite and accompanying clients on outings in the community with their children. We are able to help the supervised parent attend school functions, such as their child’s science fair, sports activities, etc. We also provide supervision for in-home parenting-time, encouraging a family setting and sparing child/ren the transition from a center to the parent’s home. Furthermore, this more natural setting allows for more comprehensive assessment of the parent-child relationship because we are able to observe interactions between parent and child/ren in “real world” situations.
At Healing Families, we also offer:
- Great Flexibility. We Can Provide Supervision For Parenting-Time Up To 12 Hours Per Session, And Have No Restrictions On Number Of Sessions Per Week.
- Qualified Counselors. All Supervised Parenting Counselors Have At Minimum, A Bachelor’s Degree In A Mental Health/Child Development Field Or Equivalent Experience. Only Our Licensed Counselors (LMFTs, LPCs, LCSWs, & MSWs) Provide Therapeutic Level 2 Parenting. Therapeutic Level 1 Can Be Provided By Any Of Our Well-Qualified Counselors.
- Written Documentation Of Each Parenting-Time Session.
- Quick Intake. We Can Go From Intake To The First Session In Seven Days Or Less.

OUR MISSION
Healing Families’ (formerly known as Supervised Parenting) mission is to employ a more efficient and positive process to aid non-residential parents in their effort to remain active and vital in the lives of their children. More importantly we strive to simultaneously enable children to enjoy a healthy bond with both parents.
OUR VISION
At Healing Families’ (formerly known as Supervised Parenting) we see a future of supervised parenting in which children as well as their parents will complete the journey toward unsupervised parenting quickly and minimally affected by it. Therefore, we endeavor to maintain the following standards:
Keeping child/ren safe at all times within the most natural environments possible, and doing so with minimal additional stress for the child/ren.
Providing compassionate and knowledgeable counselors who have all been subject to a thorough background check, including a Colorado Bureau of Investigation report.
Coupling excellent supervision with flexibility.
Enabling the child/ren to enjoy spending time with their non-residential parent in more naturally comfortable settings.
Alleviating feelings of alienation resulting from the child/ren’s concept that “Mommy” or “Daddy” is not to be trusted as they can only spend time with them in a restricted environment.
Possibly decreasing the time period in which supervised parenting is necessary
Families begin in offsite and/or in-home environments eliminating steps in the process toward unsupervised parenting.
This also helps to prevent parents from acquiring overwhelming financial burdens and/or a loss of hope for graduation to unsupervised parenting-time.
Eliminating the need for parents to spend so much time and mileage in traveling as our clients are not confined to specific locations.

After working 10 years in Adams County Human Services and over 5 years in Child and Family Services in Denver County, Kim joined the Denver Department of Safety as a Juvenile Diversion Officer for over 20 years until her retirement from the City and County of Denver in 2022. In this role, she helped families and youth find alternative solutions to involvement in the juvenile justice system. She provided support, resources, and guidance to help young people get back on track and stay out of trouble.
In addition, Kim’s passion for helping families and youth led her to take on part-time positions over the years with nonprofit agencies such as Bridges Family Services and Cornerstone Family Programs as a parenting coach and youth mentor. Kim also worked with SuperVision Parenting, which was led by Linda Schneider over the past 15 years and has provided support and supervised parenting time to families dealing with challenges related to custody and visitation. Kim worked closely with families to help them overcome obstacles and develop effective parenting strategies and structure that would be the most beneficial to their child.
With the passing of Linda Schneider in January of 2023, Kim founded Healing Families Supervised Parenting to be able to continue to provide the level of service to which her clients had become accustomed.
