Family Mediation

Resolve Family Conflicts with Care

Mediation offers a private, respectful, and effective venue to address family disputes and design relationships moving forward.

Why Family Mediation?

Disputes among family members are far too common. Left to fester, they create longstanding feelings of stress, anxiety and animosity that can affect not only the original disputants, but the entire family for generations to come.

Mediation can provide an effective venue to discuss a myriad of family issues including disputes related to:

  • Inheritance
  • Elder care
  • Family business
  • Grandparent involvement
  • Relationship defining and tailoring

How It Works

Private Intake

Each family member meets privately with a mediator to share concerns and goals in a safe, supportive setting.

Mediators identify areas of agreement, clarify issues, and map a constructive starting point for conversation.

Guided Conversation

Mediation sessions begin where agreement is most likely, building momentum toward practical, durable solutions.

Family mediation is not therapy. While the past may come up, our mediators help you focus on resolving disputes and designing relationships going forward.

A Constructive, Forward-Looking Approach

We help families talk openly about needs and concerns, set realistic expectations for progress, and collaborate on workable next steps. The process is respectful, adaptable, and designed to keep everyone engaged.

Examples of Family Cases

  • Two siblings disagree about how to use money left in their father’s trust—especially what spending counts as “care for the mother.”
  • Grandparents and adult children (or in-laws) disagree about the level of involvement in the grandchildren’s lives.
  • Siblings argue over what to do with the family vacation home—sell it or keep it for shared memories.
  • Estranged relatives want to reconnect after years apart and need to define healthy boundaries for a future relationship.

What to Expect

  • Private, respectful conversations that prioritize safety and dignity.
  • Flexible agendas that address the issues your family brings to the table.
  • Agreements designed by the people involved—not imposed by a court.
  • Forward-looking conversations aimed at preventing future conflict.
