Dawn White
Certified Divorce Coach®
Family Transition Support
Feeling overwhelmed?
Afraid of the future?
Don’t know what to do first?
Concerned about your children?
Wondering how it will all turn out?
You don’t have to navigate this alone. Divorce and custody disputes affect every part of your life, and high-conflict situations can make an already difficult transition even more overwhelming. The decisions you make now can influence your finances, your children, your peace of mind, and your future.
How Coaching Can Help
I provide reflective, structured support for parents navigating divorce, custody disputes, co-parenting challenges, and rebuilding after divorce.
As your coach and thinking partner, I can help you:
Gain clarity before making important decisions
Reduce overwhelm and mental clutter
Organize thoughts and priorities
Prepare for productive conversations with your attorney or other professionals
Strengthen communication with your co-parent or former spouse
Stay aligned with your values, even during conflict
Develop intentional next steps with confidence
Divorce coaching is one part of a client's trusted support team, complementing the work of attorneys, mediators, financial professionals, and other advisors by helping clients become more organized, grounded, and focused on what matters most to them.
Ways We Can Work Together
*
Ways We Can Work Together *
There are several options for how we can work together.
Option 1 — Single Support Session
Best For:
Immediate support needs
Isolated concerns or decision points
Clients seeking occasional support
Mediation or meeting preparation
Clients not currently needing ongoing coaching
Option 2 — Ongoing Monthly Support
Includes:
Up to four (4) scheduled coaching sessions per month at a discounted hourly rate
Reserved recurring scheduling priority
Brief text/email support between sessions
Continuity of support throughout the month
Ongoing reflection, awareness, and accountability support
Option to purchase additional sessions in the month at the discounted hourly rate
Support Coordinated with Attorneys
Coaching can be coordinated with an attorney in the following ways:
Option 1 — Attorney-Referred Client Support
In some situations, clients may be referred by attorneys for independent coaching support.
Under this structure:
the client remains the coaching client of DGW Business Services,
and communication with attorneys occurs only with client authorization.
Option 2 — Attorney-Integrated Support Model
In select situations, I may work directly with a law firm or attorney as part of an attorney-integrated support structure.
Under this arrangement:
the attorney or law firm retains DGW Business Services,
billing structures are determined between the attorney and DGW Business Services,
and services may vary depending on the needs of the matter.
All services remain within the scope of coaching support, organization, reflection, and communication awareness. I do not provide legal advice or legal representation.
Any attorney-integrated support remains subject to the direction and oversight of the retaining attorney.
Attorney-integrated arrangements are customized based on the needs and structure of the individual law practice.
How to Engage

How to Engage *
Step 1 — Schedule a Complimentary Discovery & Clarity Consultation
New clients begin with a complimentary 45-minute Discovery & Clarity Consultation to:
discuss current concerns and areas of support,
determine whether coaching is an appropriate fit,
review available support options,
and answer questions about the coaching process.
Following the consultation, clients may choose:
a single support session,
an ongoing monthly support package,
an attorney-integrated support model, if appropriate.
Step 2 — Select a Support Option
Once a coaching structure is selected:
intake and agreement forms will be provided,
scheduling will be confirmed,
and payment arrangements will be completed prior to the first session, unless the attorney-integrated support model applies.
Step 3 — Begin Coaching
Coaching sessions are conducted virtually unless otherwise arranged.
Clients are encouraged to approach coaching with openness, curiosity, reflection, and a willingness to explore intentional next steps aligned with their values and goals.

Openness and honesty
Curiosity and willingness to reflect
Personal responsibility for decisions and outcomes

An understanding that coaching is most effective when approached as an active and collaborative process rather than a passive service
As your coach, I am committed to providing:
A supportive and non-judgmental coaching environment
Reflective listening and thoughtful inquiry
Professionalism and confidentiality within the scope of coaching
Respect for client autonomy and self-determination
Structured support designed to foster clarity, awareness, organization, and intentional decision-making

Client Experience
“I was recently going through a custody battle in an effort to prevent my ex-husband from gaining full custody and relocating our daughter out of state. Dawn helped me stay grounded and organized and provided the emotional support to manage my stress and make purposeful decisions during an extremely stressful and scary time.
Along with my attorney, Dawn was an integral part of my support system and has made a huge impact on our family's sanity.”
— R.F.
Attorney Experience
“I've had the opportunity to work alongside Dawn as she has supported clients navigating divorce, custody disputes, and other difficult family cases. She is a person of exceptional integrity who genuinely cares about helping people through some of life's most challenging moments.
One of the biggest challenges we all face as attorneys is that clients often come to us overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, and unsure how to move forward. They struggle to organize information, communicate effectively, and separate emotion from the important decisions that need to be made, making it difficult to focus immediately on the work they came to us to do.
Having Dawn as one piece of my clients' support team has allowed me to spend more time practicing law and less time helping clients manage the emotional and organizational challenges that naturally accompany divorce and other difficult family transitions.
I've found that clients who work with Dawn come to meetings better prepared, more focused, and ready to make productive use of our time together. Dawn empowers clients to navigate divorce and custody disputes with greater objectivity, make thoughtful decisions, and prioritize their own and their children’s long-term wellbeing.”
