Couples Mediation

If you are thinking of getting divorced and don’t know where to start, a consultation with a Mediator/Psychotherapist is a good beginning. Divorces are scary and sad, but unfortunately necessary at times. I have helped many couples restructure their families and preserve positive relationships with children.

We will assist you in communicating clearly and maintaining focus on your goals. If you have children, you will most likely have questions about how to tell them, who should tell them, how much they need to know, and when to involve them in the process.

We consult with you as a couple to help you make the right decision for your changing family dynamics. We will guide you in separating your negative feelings toward your spouse from their role as a co-parent to your children. This will allow you to make decisions that are best suited for your children and therefore make the transition into separate households as smooth as possible.

1. Prenuptial agreements are meant to make the break up easier but they often introduce added stress and resentment into an otherwise loving relationship. Mediation can help to keep the prenuptial agreement in perspective and facilitate the difficult discussion about a future neither party wants to consider.

2. Sometimes couples don’t want to enter couples counseling because their marriage feels strong, but they have a specific problem that they feel stuck in resolving. Mediation is a perfect solution to resolve gridlock situations quickly.
