As Collaborative Professionals, we all know the power of the Collaborative Process. We’ve seen firsthand how it can transform the experience of divorce and other family conflicts minimizing trauma, preserving dignity, and focusing on healthier outcomes for families.

Yet, many professionals find themselves with one foot in and one foot out of Collaborative Practice. They may take a case here or there, attend training occasionally, or express support for the process without making the leap to fully commit.

So, what’s holding you back from fully committing to the Collaborative Process?

• Is it uncertainty about whether clients will ask for it?
• Is it concern about the financial or time investment?
• Is it the comfort of sticking to traditional litigation, even when you know Collaborative is a better path forward?

These hesitations are normal. Transitioning into a fully Collaborative Practice is not always easy it requires dedication, patience, and the willingness to see beyond the short-term challenges. Here’s the truth, commitment is the key to building a thriving Collaborative Practice.

At My Collaborative Team (MCT), we are here to help you make that commitment. Through education, networking, case referrals, and resources designed specifically for Collaborative Professionals, MCT provides the support you need to move from “interested” to “invested.”

When you commit to Collaborative work, you’re not just making a professional decision you’re joining a movement that is reshaping the way families experience conflict resolution. You’re standing behind a process that prioritizes respect, privacy, and long-term healing over courtroom battles.

Yes, it can be a difficult transition. However, it is one of the most rewarding commitments you can make for your clients, your practice, and the future of the Collaborative community.

So, we ask you again, what’s holding you back?

Let’s talk about it. Let’s face those obstacles together. Most importantly, let’s commit to the process, to each other, and to building a strong Collaborative future.
