A child advocate since the late 1990s, Dr. Roseman demonstrates the need for collaboration in improving child outcomes for parents. In 2010, he created The Toby Center for Family Transitions based in Delray Beach, Florida — a major provider of supervised visitation services and reunification therapy.
The Center is designed to provide holistic clinical treatment, non-clinical child access services, and co-parenting education to improve child outcomes when parents separate.
A prolific writer and speaker, Dr. Roseman advocates research showing that child outcomes are most positive and long-lasting when parents fight less, use mediation methods for child custody and visitation solutions, and hire counsel who can best appreciate what is truly a child's best interest — not necessarily the interests of the litigants.
