Marion Mediation

Therapists and counselors often work with clients navigating emotionally charged decisions - divorce, separation, parenting arrangements - where unresolved conflict outside the therapy room can stall meaningful progress.

​

Mediation can provide a calm, structured alternative that helps clients communicate productively and move forward with greater clarity and stability.

Therapists often find mediation helpful when:

​

• Conversations escalate outside sessions

​

• Clients feel stuck in decision-making loops

​

• Parenting or separation issues block progress

​

• Emotional intensity overwhelms communication

​

• Conflict outside therapy repeatedly re-triggers the same issues

 

 

Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process in which a neutral third party helps people in conflict communicate more effectively, clarify disputed issues, and reach practical agreements they control themselves.

​

It is not therapy and not litigation - but it can reduce escalation and emotional gridlock so therapeutic work can continue more effectively.

While I mediate any disputes springing from domestic disputes, common areas of focus include:

​

• Divorce and separation discussions

​

• Parenting plans and co-parenting conflict

​

• High-conflict decision points

​

• Possibility of domestic violence

As a mediator, my role is intentionally limited and clearly defined:

​

• I do not diagnose or provide therapeutic treatment

​

• I do not advocate for either party

​

• I focus on discrete disputes and decision-making impasses

​

• I respect and preserve the therapeutic relationship

​

​

​

If mediation feels like a helpful option for your clients, I welcome the opportunity to establish myself as your trusted professional resource.

Please reach out with questions or to discuss whether mediation may be appropriate in a particular situation.
