MARITAL MEDIATION

Mediation is an alternative for couples who want to preserve their relationship in the face of conflict without spending numerous hours in family therapy or couples counseling. 

Mediation is future-oriented and allows the parties to focus on creating a better future rather than re-hashing old resentments and casting blame.  Working with a mediator, a neutral third party trained in promoting effective and productive communication, raises the quality of your repeated efforts to get past the conflict and grow as a result. 

Mediation is typically quite efficient.  As such, the number of sessions required is usually minimal in comparison to counseling or other forms of intervention.  As with all Mediation sessions the meetings are always confidential, enabling parties to truly engage and move forward. 

Couples who engage in Marital Mediation are typically mindful of the effort required to maintain a healthy and satisfying relationship long-term.  They are interested in proactively promoting growth, and preventing the deterioration which is inevitable when conflicts are left unresolved.
