| For the results you create, with an outcome that is fair-Choose to Mediate! |
| Mediation Services at Coastal Counseling Associates allow parties to control the process of resolution. Clients make the decisions about what issues they are trying to resolve. The mediator does not impose a resolution, however, facilitates the negotiations of the parties toward a mutual and personalized resolution. Mediation is a voluntary process of alternative dispute resolution. Parties may withdraw from the process at anytime. Mediators encourage open communication between both parties while remaining non-biased. When you go to court for litigation, outcomes can be unpredictable, and decisions about your future may be decided by the court. Mediation is done in a private office setting not the courtroom. This may allow for a respectful, cooperative, and personalized resolution. |
| The mediators at Coastal Counseling Associates are trained in processes of alternative dispute resolution. They do not give legal advice, nor do they provide therapy during mediation. They are trained as neutral third parties to guide the process of dispute resolution using non-adversarial methods. Clients of mediation services are encouraged to hire an attorney of their choosing to overview mediation agreements once drafted. |
