Transforming Conflict into Resolution
Mission: “Your Family, Your Decisions”. We pride ourselves in specializing in high-conflict families who are divorced, divorcing and/or learning to manage their family daily interactions. We believe in assisting families by creating an atmosphere of respect, clearly identifying conflict issues, and creating a plan-of-action that will help with better communication and interaction.
Our philosophy is based on a Human Systemic approach where difficult personalities, challenging circumstances, and High-Conflict cases are our specialties!
Divorce and Family transition is HARD. It is especially difficult for the children who are always in the middle of family fighting and discourse. Even though it feels natural to “fight” for your position and to fight for your rights, mediation offers an opportunity to better address the problems and better ease and address past relationship challenges. Mediation offers an opportunity for you to feel empowered to create your own destiny. The Mediators at Effective Mediation Consultants are experts at resolution, experts at finding solutions and experts at assisting high conflict families.

– Less time consuming & Less expensive
– Less emotionally stressful
– Able to put the needs of the children/family first…
