Divorce Mediation Services
About Mediation
Divorce doesn’t have to mean chaos or courtrooms. We help families transition from a one-home to a two-home household through collaboration, clarity, and support—so everyone can move forward with dignity.
What’s the difference?
Mediator
A mediator works with parents—often individually and together—to help apply and implement an existing parenting plan. They facilitate communication and problem-solving so parents can make and carry out decisions about schedules, routines, and co-parenting issues.
Divorce Coach
A divorce “coach” is part of the collaborative divorce team, working alongside attorneys and financial professionals to support you through the legal process. They use mental-health and systems skills to help you manage emotions, improve communication, and stay focused so you can make informed decisions. Coaching is goal-oriented, case-specific, and coordinated with the professional team.
Psychotherapy
A therapist provides mental health treatment by addressing emotional distress, symptoms, and relationship patterns. Therapy focuses on communication, emotional well-being, and healing—not legal decision-making. Therapists are neutral, confidential, and do not assist with major legal or parenting decisions.
Who Mediation is for
For families of divorce, there are a lot of decisions that must be made collaboratively. For most co-parents, these can create sticky situations that are hard to negotiate, create conflict, which ultimately affects kids.
Types of Services
Collaborative Divorce
Meeting you at the beginning of divorce process. We create a parenting plan.
Collaborative divorce is a voluntary, non-adversarial legal process where parties resolve marriage dissolution without the intervention of a court or tribunal. It is founded on principles of honesty, transparency, and mutual respect, with a primary focus on the future well-being of the parties and their children. Unlike traditional litigation, this model employs an interdisciplinary team—including lawyers, financial specialists, and divorce coaches—who utilize interest-based dispute resolution and facilitative mediation skills to help parties communicate their goals and concerns effectively. Participants commit to acting in "Good Faith," which requires the full disclosure of all material information and a dedication to finding solutions that address the interests of both individuals.
Because all communications within the professional team are confidential and the lawyers are specifically disqualified from representing the parties in court if the process terminates, the entire team is incentivized to work toward a cooperative settlement.
Co-Parenting Mediation

What is a Parenting Plan?
A Parenting Plan is a written agreement that outlines how parents will share responsibilities, decision-making, and time with their children to provide stability and consistency. It covers schedules, communication methods, education and healthcare decisions, and procedures for resolving disagreements so the child's needs stay central. Created cooperatively with input from both parents (and sometimes professionals), the plan is designed to be practical, durable, and focused on the child’s best interests.

The Mediation Process
-
Get Going
In this mutual step, you and your spouse decide to get started by signing a Participation Agreement, promising to stay out of court and work with your professional team in a spirit of cooperation, rather than continue to bang your head against the same walls.
-
Sharing Information
Everyone agrees to be totally open and honest. You’ll share all the necessary financial and personal information freely, without the need for stressful legal "discovery" or court orders.
-
Finding Solutions
You’ll meet with your team to talk through your goals and concerns. Your divorce mediator/coach helps keep these meetings productive by managing emotions and helping everyone move towards solutions.
-
Make it Official
Once you reach an agreement, it is put into a final signed writing that becomes a binding legal document, which keeps everyone incentivized to find a solution together quickly and without augmentation.
WHY WE DECIDED TO DO THIS WORK
After working with countless couples who began, or were already in the midst of, divorce- we decided to start offering the much-needed service of mediation. We saw those with these crucial conversations were able to significantly reduce the amount of time and emotional energy spent making decisions.
Families function better after because this process holds the integrity of the co-parenting relationship. The whole process emphasizes that we are a tema and supporting them through join decision-making.
I specifically love the collaborative law model bc it has been shown to have the most durable agreement/buy-in. The decisions made actually work for both parents and have longevity than a court decisionl.
