Mediation Approach & Philosophy

There is no set approach to mediation that works in all cases. It is not a "cookie cutter" environment. The skills and techniques to be used in any given matter will depend upon the issues, the environment, and, most importantly, the people in the room. A truly skilled mediator will be able to read what the parties and the situation need, and to pull the necessary tools from the toolbox that she constantly carries with her to help guide the parties to the resolution that works for them.
