Mediation
Mediation builds understanding and trust in personal relationships. Providing a neutral environment where all the parties can really hear and understand each other can be the start of restoring their relationships while coming up with an agreement on how to move forward.
Let me provide a way to achieve an acceptable way forward.
Experience:
● With over twenty years of mediation experience at The Conflict Center, Jefferson County Courts small claims, and Colorado Circle for Healing, I advocate for restorative practices that prioritize repair over punitive measures, giving community members a path to a second chance.
● In workplace mediation, I have facilitated conflict resolution at organizations such as Colorado Access, Center for Health Progress, and Colorado Consumer Health Initiative, helping to build sustainable, collaborative working relationships.
“Barbara was wonderful to work with. The ease with which she navigates difficult conversations puts all parties at ease with her. Our mediation process was cathartic and got us to a successful resolution. Many thanks to Barbara!”
— Sarah McAfee, Center for Health Progress
"Barbara was easy to talk to, and she was engaged and empathetic when I shared my story. She made this whole experience pleasant despite the conflict that brought us to mediation."
- Lisa Sifrit, Colorado Consumer Health Initiative
