Divorce and Mediation Services in Madison, CT
Mediation is an intervention between people, using a trained neutral third person, to assist them through
a conflict to achieve a mutually agreeable resolution. Mediation allows people to express their differences
in a respectful way.  At Coastal Counseling Associates our professionals guide the process in a comfortable
and private environment.  There are many situations where  mediation skills can be used,  such as
business issues, planning for elders, parent-child mediations, landlord/tenant, separation, divorce  and
interpersonal issues. Parties are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the mediation process before
beginning.  Listed below are some benefits to choosing this alternative form of  dispute resolution

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.
