Sometimes traditional counseling just isn’t enough. In separation or divorce, a family mediator helps couples navigate the logistics—dividing property, creating parenting plans, and reaching mutual agreements—without going to court.

Selah offers a peaceful, faith-informed process that helps families reduce conflict and move forward with grace.

Cost-Effective - Mediation is generally much cheaper than going to court, especially for lengthy disputes.

Faster Resolution - Mediation sessions can be scheduled quickly, often leading to a resolution in weeks instead of months or years.

Less Stressful - It’s a more informal, non-adversarial setting than court, which helps reduce tension between parties.

Confidential - Unlike court proceedings, mediation is private and confidential, which can help protect family relationships and reputations.

Flexible Solutions - Agreements can be tailored to suit the specific needs and circumstances of the family, rather than sticking to rigid legal frameworks.

Child-Centered - Mediators encourage decisions that prioritize the well-being and best interests of the children.

Preserves Relationships - Mediation focuses on collaboration, which can improve communication and preserve family bonds, especially important when children are involved.

Improved Communication - The process often helps improve communication skills between parties, which can be beneficial for co-parenting and future interactions.
