About Heather Cary
Guiding Families Through Divorce with Clarity, Compassion & Collaboration
Divorce is a major life transition—but it doesn’t have to define your future. As a Divorce and Co-Parenting Coach, Mediator, and Educator, I help individuals and families navigate separation with less conflict, more cooperation, and a clear path forward. My goal is to minimize the emotional and financial toll of divorce while ensuring parents can create child-centered solutions that truly work.
How I Help
Through coaching and mediation, I support clients in:
✔ Understanding the divorce process so they feel informed and empowered
✔ Identifying sources of conflict and learning strategies to minimize them
✔ Creating parenting plans that prioritize stability and emotional well-being
✔ Navigating co-parenting challenges with practical tools for communication
Professional Background
I bring extensive training and expertise to my work, including:
DCA® Certified ADR Divorce Coach & CDC® Certified Divorce Coach
Master’s in Education from Stanford
Certified New Ways For Families Co-Parent Coach
Court-Connected Parenting Plan and Custody Mediator in Oregon
Parent Educator with Multnomah & Clackamas Counties
Member of the Oregon Association of Collaborative Professionals
In addition to coaching individuals, I serve as a mentor coach with Divorce Coaches Academy®, helping train new professionals in the field, and facilitate divorce support groups to provide ongoing guidance for parents.
Moving Forward, Together
Divorce is challenging, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether you’re struggling with communication, uncertain about co-parenting, or need help structuring a parenting plan, I’m here to guide you through the process with clarity, confidence, and collaborative solutions.
