    Skip the Courtroom Stress

    Unlike going to court, mediation isn’t about having someone make decisions for you. Instead, it’s about providing an environment in which everyone is heard, respected, and supported while you work together to figure out the best path forward yourselves.

    What makes our practice different is our two-at-the-table co-mediation approach using our R.E.S.P.E.C.T.(TM) Framework. Because family conflicts can be complicated, having two mediators guiding the process together, you get more than one perspective, better balance in the conversation, and extra support to keep things fair and respectful.

    Our conflict coaching sessions empower clients to navigate disputes effectively. We provide tools and strategies to help you manage conflicts constructively, promoting personal growth and healthier relationships.

    One on One Support

    Conflict coaching is one-on-one support to prepare you to have a difficult conversation. You work privately with a coach who helps you think through the conflict, get clear on what matters most to you, and build the skills to handle it in a healthier way.

    During the process, we’ll talk about what’s going on, look at different options for handling it, and practice tools for better communication. The goal isn’t to tell you what to do but to give you the confidence and strategies to face the conflict with less stress and more control.

    These sessions can also help you prepare for a mediation. Also see skills development sessions below.

    We offer workshops that equip individuals and families with essential mediation skills. These interactive sessions focus on conflict resolution techniques, effective communication, and emotional intelligence, preparing participants for real-life situations.

    Collaborative Problem Solving

    In facilitation, like mediation, we don't take sides or make choices for you. We focus on the process so your family can focus on the solutions. Unlike mediation, where there’s usually a disagreement to resolve, facilitation is about planning, problem solving, and conflict prevention.

    When facilitation can help:

    • Deciding how to care for aging parents or loved ones
    • Talking through estate or inheritance planning
    • Making decisions about family businesses or shared property
    • Planning for big life transitions (like moving, guardianship, or retirement)
    • Having important conversations where emotions might run high

    Skill Development Sessions

    Learning how to advocate for yourself doesn’t have to mean being aggressive—it’s about knowing how to stand firm while keeping respect at the table.

    Whether it’s for work, family, or everyday life, our workshops and strategy sessions are tailored specifically to teach practical strategies and step-by-step techniques to help you speak up clearly and stay confident in the moment. You’ll learn how to negotiate on your own terms, without losing your voice or giving up what matters to you.

    Our conflict coaching empowers individuals to navigate challenging situations with confidence. We provide the tools and strategies necessary to address conflicts proactively, ensuring a constructive dialogue and lasting resolutions. Building Bridges Through Understanding Cabean ADR is a family run mediation and conflict coaching practice.

    The R.E.S.P.E.C.T.(TM) Framework is our signature approach to conflict resolution. It is a structured, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach to mediation and facilitation.

    Each element highlights a key principle that, when combined leads to conversation, collaboration, compromise and eventually, consensus. The framework provides the structure for how we conduct mediations and facilitate meetings. It balances emotional care with strategic problem-solving, ensuring both process and outcome serve the participants well.
