Mediation

Graeme & Gayle O’Brien are caring professionals helping people create solutions to issues and disputes arising in their professional and personal lives. Through mediation, they use a confidential process that will lower costs, lessen time spent on the issues and achieve long-range consensus or agreement.
They provide an impartial, safe setting, where individuals are respected and can be heard. They don't ignore emotions, they recognize and explore them rather than see them as barriers or obstacles.
They make the process uncomplicated, empower both parties, and work diligently to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution.
Conflicts are a normal part of life; how we deal with them can make a big difference. Often when people resolve conflicts, one person ends up a winner, and one loses out. This may solve the problem for the moment, but resentment and bad feelings can cause more problems later.
“We are dedicated to helping people reach workable and reasonable solutions to their conflicts without going to court.
If you can resolve your differences you’ll save yourself time, money and a whole lot of stress.
In mediation you never hand over the power to make decisions to anyone else. We cannot make or impose decisions on you, resolution occurs only if both parties agree.
We value collaboration, dignity, safety, balance, and flexibility. In the end, we want you to walk away knowing you have been heard and were a significant contributor to the solution.
Our confidence in mediation is based in 27 years of experience working with communities and individuals in conflict.”

Separation
Separation is a painful and confusing experience for everyone involved. Families that begin the process with mediation have an opportunity to craft their own solutions and minimize the emotional and financial harm that a prolonged "battle" over assets, liabilities, and children can cause.
When parents need to separate, mediation offers the best option to minimize harm to your children's family. After a separation, parents have important decisions to make regarding "family matters" that affect the lives of their children: family time with each parent, new relationships, celebrations, educational and health issues, and guidelines for parenting. Mediation is a valuable tool to coach parents through these difficult issues that arise over time as you strive to be the best parent possible for your children.
