Family Mediation in Portland
Partner with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process to inspire the client to their personal and professional potential.
Mediation is a dynamic, structured, interactive process where a neutral third party assists disputing parties in resolving conflict through the use of specialized communication and negotiation techniques. All participants in mediation are encouraged to actively participate in the process. Mediation is a “party-centered” process in that it is focused primarily upon the needs, rights, and interests of the 3rd party.
The mediator uses a wide variety of techniques to guide the process in a constructive direction and to help the parties find their optimal solution. A mediator is facilitative in that she/he manages the interaction between parties and facilitates open communication. Mediation is also evaluative in that the mediator analyzes issues and relevant norms (“reality-testing”), while refraining from providing prescriptive advice to the parties (e.g., “You should do….”)
We specialize in family mediation: adoptions, guardianships, parenting plans, separations and divorces. We also provide mediation and facilitate discussions with large groups of professionals in businesses. Whether it is a partnership in business, or in one’s family life. We enjoy being a part of the peace process.
