Ep 142: Inside the Broken System of Supervised and Therapeutic Visitation

Sybil Cummin, MA, LPC, ACS Season 1 Episode 142

Supervised visitation and therapeutic visitation are meant to provide safety and structure for children and families navigating complex custody dynamics. But what happens when there are no regulations, inconsistent oversight, and a severe lack of training among those facilitating these visits? In this episode, I share real-life stories, my experiences getting trained, and the major concerns with how these services are currently being implemented. I’ll break down:

  • What supervised and therapeutic visitation should look like
  • The risks of unregulated or poorly structured visitation services
  • Why documentation, training, and therapist collaboration must be prioritized
  • What we can do to bring awareness and demand better oversight

If you’ve experienced supervised or therapeutic visitation—or have concerns about how it’s being handled in your case—this episode is for you.
