The underlying ethic of our practice is to build trust in relationships. People come for Family Mediation seeking assistance with disputes, differences of opinions, help with decision-making about future direction of relationships, children and elder's lives and to solve problems and resolve conflicts. Many come for Divorce, Couples, or Family Mediation.
Others come for Individual, Couples or Family Psychotherapy. Helps divorcing/separating couples design creative living arrangement for, and talk with their children about divorce; helps them buy-out, sell, or hold their real estate together for a time. It helps them discover their current and future cash flows into their 90s, learn all their tax obligations and possibilities and equitably divide their assets.
Helps couples and families radically improve communication, forge deeper connections, build trust, find space and time for one another, and often helps them resolve a big conflict like including grandparents in children's lives. Small businesses, families, colleges, schools learn a 7 Step Process of Negotiating conflicts and disputes, first through a Negotiation Power Point Presentation, then through interactive exercises.

Divorce Mediation stands in strong contrast to the traditional divorce process in which each member of a couple hires a divorce attorney to litigate or negotiate for him or her the terms of the Separation/Divorce Agreement.
Divorce Mediation saves time and cost and prevents conflict for all members of the family.
Mediation clients here have the advantage of learning our own Collaborative Mediation process that builds trust and long-term negotiation skills.
They will frequently work with our Certified Divorce and Financial Analyst to learn what their current net disposable monthly income is after payment of expenses and all taxes, including any family support, as well as deducting their real estate taxes, mortgage interest, personal and head of household exemptions on their Federal and State Income Taxes.

Unlike Marriage Counseling or Couples Therapy, which have broader goals, Couples Mediation is for addressing a discrete topic, a specific goal or question.
Shall we have our son live in a residential apartment with others his age or continue to live at home?.
Shall we sue the doctors who gave her mother an overdose of methadone which caused brain damage?.
The goals of couples mediation are similar and often overlap with the goals of decision making mediation.
Often parents are trying to decide how much involvement their parents should have in their children's upbringing.

Sisters want their brother who molested all of them as teenagers to apologize and have healing of the family begin.
Grandparents want to understand why their daughter and her husband want them to have such limited involvement with their grandchildren.
They are heart-broken.
One of the adults, living-at-home children, has a serious, disruptive, emotional disorder.
How can we all learn to live with this disorder?.

Clients and their mediators or psychotherapists typically describe marriage counseling or couples therapy as a forum to address issues of faulty communication, parenting, finances, lack of emotional and physical intimacy.
The outcome is hoped to be the creation or re-creation of healthy, even thriving relationships and family.
If one partner has misgivings, is indecisive or ambivalent about the future of the relationship and the "counseling or therapy" doesn't work and the partners don't stay together, both clients and helpers feel the process has been a failure.
