SPECIALIZED SERVICES

Mediation

Mediation services that help you move forward —
with clarity, respect, and your children at the center.

When the relationship ends,
the family doesn't have to.

Divorce and separation are among the most emotionally complex experiences a family can navigate. When children are involved, the stakes are even higher and the decisions made during this time can shape your family dynamics for years to come.

At Awaken Wellness, our mediation services offer a structured, neutral, and compassionate alternative to adversarial legal proceedings. We help separating couples and co-parents communicate more effectively, resolve conflict with greater ease, and build agreements that honor the wellbeing of everyone involved — especially the children.

Our approach is trauma-informed and grounded in respect. We understand that behind every negotiation is a family in transition, and we hold space for the emotional weight of that reality while keeping conversations productive and forward-focused.

Mediation is not about taking sides. It is about finding a path forward — together.

A space built for hard conversations

We know that coming to mediation can feel vulnerable. You may be carrying grief, anger, fear, or all three at once. Our role is not to minimize any of that, it is to create an environment where even the most difficult conversations can happen with dignity and purpose.

01

Free 15-Minute Consultation

A brief, no-pressure call to learn about your situation and answer any questions you have about mediation. Reach out by phone, email, or through our scheduling portal.

02

Individual Intake Sessions

Before joint mediation begins, each party meets individually with the mediator. This ensures everyone feels heard and prepared, and helps us understand any dynamics that need careful attention as we structure the process.

03

Joint Mediation Sessions

Once both parties are ready, joint sessions begin. Your mediator guides the conversation, maintains a neutral and respectful environment, and moves discussions toward resolution at a pace that works for your family.

04

Agreement & Documentation

As agreements are reached, they are documented in a clear written summary for review by your legal team. We work alongside your attorneys and any other involved professionals to support a smooth, legally sound resolution.

05

Follow-Up Support

Life changes, and agreements sometimes need to as well. We remain available for follow-up sessions as your family's needs evolve, so the foundation you build continues to serve you over time.

A few things to know:

  • Both parties must participate voluntarily.

  • Mediation is not therapy, though our clinically informed approach means the emotional dimensions of your situation are never ignored.

  • Mediation does not replace legal counsel — we encourage all clients to have an attorney review any final agreement.

  • You do not have to navigate this alone. We are here to help your family find its footing.

Transparent pricing. No surprises.

Mediation Services — $250 per hour

Our mediation services are offered at a straightforward flat hourly rate, so you can focus on the work without worrying about escalating costs. This rate applies to all mediation offerings, including divorce, co-parenting, therapeutic co-parenting support, and family caregiving and planning mediation.

The number of sessions needed will vary depending on the complexity of your situation, the number of issues requiring resolution, and the readiness of all parties to engage in the process. Many families reach resolution in two to four sessions. More complex situations may require additional time, and we will always be transparent with you about where you are in the process and what to expect going forward.

A few things to know about fees:

  • Sessions are typically 90 minutes

  • Payment is due at the time of service

  • We offer a free 15-minute phone consultation prior to scheduling your first session

  • Mediation services are not covered by insurance

Mediation is almost always significantly more cost-effective than litigation. More importantly, it puts the outcome in your hands, not a courtroom.

You do not have to have everything figured out before you call. You just have to be willing to begin.
