Couples Mediation

​​​Couples Mediation

​

Couples mediation is a relatively new option for couples who are not ready to pursue divorce but are facing one or more conflicts in their relationship that need resolution. This is mediation between individuals who wish to maintain or improve their intimate relationship. It is not couples therapy.

​

How Couples Mediation Differs from Couples Therapy:

 

While both aim to strengthen relationships and identify areas of conflict, couples mediation:

• Takes little background history

• Focuses on resolution of specific, narrow issues rather than broader psychological patterns

• Creates agreements to resolve those specific issues

• Is issue-based and solution-focused

​

Common Issues Addressed:

​

• Financial management

• Communication challenges

• Co-parenting or parenting roles within the marriage​​
   

Why Choose Mediation?
 

Couples mediation fills an important gap for couples who have conflict and need resolution but are not ready to consider divorce. For those who are opposed to therapy, this offers a viable alternative.
