About Me.

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND:

 

1995:

Ms. Trotter worked at the Family Counseling Department and the Home-Based Therapy Department at Family and Children's Services. She also assisted with the Families Interacting in New Directions (FIND) group doing parent-child interaction therapy (PCIT). She also received her initial 40 hour Mediation Training course pursuant to "Family and Divorce Mediation" 12 O.S. § 1825. 

 

1996:

Ms. Trotter has had considerable experience in assisting the launching of grass roots programs. In 1997, Tulsa lead the nation in a pilot program whereby the social services portion of Head Start was contracted out to a social services agency. Ms. Trotter worked for the social services agency as a Supervisor for Head Start Family Support Specialists. She co-supervised a staff of over twenty specialists in addition to carrying her own case load. Ms. Trotter also began teaching "Helping Children Cope with Divorce" and parenting classes.

 

1999:

Ms. Trotter was involved in launching another grass roots program, "The Families in Transition Program." Tulsa County recognized that divorce and separation were hard on children and sought to reorganize the process of going through divorce in an effort to minimize the negative impacts for families. This program made it mandatory for parties to participate in Mediation before going to trial. Ms. Trotter was the Family Resource Coordinator, and provided information and referral to the Court, attorneys, court personnel, and people going through domestic court. In this role, she provided on-site mediation and crisis intervention. Ms. Trotter assisted with Parenting Plan Conferences as well as Protective Order dockets. During this time, Ms. Trotter was a member of the Families in Transition Working Committee, which wrote the Order Appointing Parenting Coordinator that in its amended form courts still use today. Members of this committee also assisted with writing the Oklahoma Statute that governed the practice of Parenting Coordination, making Oklahoma the first state to pass legislation of its kind. She was also on the Quality Assurance Panel which wrote the standards for professionals who wished to practice Parenting Coordination, made suggestions for systems improvement, oversaw complaints, and established criteria for and maintained approved lists of Mediators, Parenting Coordinators, and Custody Evaluators. During this time, Ms. Trotter also served on The Children and the Law Committee.

​

2025:

For nearly 30 years working with court-involved families conducting forensic services across the spectrum- including working at the Tulsa County Courthouse, then in private practice providing Reunification Therapy, Custody Evaluations, Parenting Coordination, Mediation, Collaborative Divorce Coaching, Co-Parenting Counseling and Supervised Visitation. That breadth of experience shaped not only how I practice, but how I teach. Over time I felt a growing responsibility to translate practical, lived forensic experience into structured tools that support clinicians entering the field and offer fresh clarity to seasoned professionals refining their approach. The result is a series of professional verticals designed to provide phase-based guidance, decisions anchors and implementation-ready frameworks that clinicians, attorneys and courts can use with confidence. Each area of my clinical ecosystem reflects real-world complexity while remaining grounded in safety, pacing and professional integrity. I have written various classes throughout my career for various agencies, universities and companies. The frameworks within my ecosystem reflect that work- now organized and made available to support clinicians and legal professionals navigating court-involved family cases.
