Mend Mediation Model

Supporting couples to find a clear path through their differences

Mend Mediation Sessions

The Mend Mediation Model (MMM) is designed to help couples navigate recurring issues and break negative cycles.

The MMM package includes up to 10 sessions: the first two are individual 1:1 sessions with each partner followed by joint sessions. This supportive approach, facilitated by a mediator, helps partners improve communication and work towards a healthier relationship, providing a structured alternative to separation. 

Individual Sessions are also available and priced at $200 per session. See the Services and Fees page for further details.

Start by reaching out to schedule your initial consultation. This is the first step toward beginning the mediation process and understanding how we can support you.

Both parties will attend a joint session where we explain the mediation process, clarify expectations, and discuss what to anticipate moving forward.

Each party will meet separately with the mediator to explore their concerns, needs, and goals in a confidential space, helping us tailor the process to both parties.

A structured and facilitated conversation between both parties, where key issues are addressed, and solutions are explored in a safe and supported environment.

Continue with regular individual or joint sessions as needed to further progress the conversation, build understanding, and strengthen communication between the parties.

FAQs for Mend Mediation

We’ve compiled answers to your most common questions about our services, the mediation process, and fee details.

MMM is ideal for couples who want to work on their relationship but are struggling to resolve ongoing issues on their own. It’s suitable for those willing to engage in a structured process to improve their communication and understanding. 

The individual sessions allow each partner to share their thoughts and feelings privately with the mediator. This helps the mediator understand each person’s perspective and tailor the joint sessions to address specific needs and concerns. 

Each session typically lasts around 60-90 minutes, depending on the needs of the couple and the complexity of the issues being discussed. 

No, the number of sessions can be tailored to the couple’s needs. Some couples may reach a resolution in fewer sessions, while others may benefit from completing the full 10-session program. 

MMM is different from traditional couples counseling. While counseling often focuses on emotional healing and understanding underlying issues, MMM is a mediation process that focuses on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and finding practical solutions to ongoing issues. 

MMM aims to help couples work through their issues, but if separation becomes the best option, the mediator can assist in facilitating a respectful and amicable separation process.
