... sitting down together ...

A husband and wife whose marriage is irretrievably broken down ... two brothers whose family business is dissolving ... three sisters who cannot agree on the proper housing for their aging mother ... in each case, these family members have reached a point where reasoned discussion seems impossible. How can they sit down together and make a plan to move forward, a practical agreement with eyes on the future?

Mediation is a process that enables individuals in conflict to sit down together and be heard by each other. With a neutral third party -- the mediator -- guiding the process, promoting an exploration of underlying issues and needs, and establishing guidelines for constructive dialogue, family members almost always discover a constructive way forward. Mediation helps to clarify and resolve difficult issues. And mediation saves time and money.

Whatever the issues confronting you, Ms. Wasserman's training and experience as a mediator will enable you to explore options in a neutral setting and to reach understanding and agreement, while preserving ongoing relationships you wish to preserve. The agreement you reach will be YOUR agreement, compromises reached will be YOUR compromises, decisions made will be YOUR decisions ... instead of having a resolution imposed upon you by a court.

For over twenty years, mediation has been helping families in Massachusetts sit down together, negotiate constructively, maintain civility and keep out of the courtroom.

Ms. Wasserman has been providing mediation services since 1995 and has extensive mediation training through basic and advanced programs. The Biographical Profile page of this site gives more information about her training.
