Being stuck in chronic conflict is draining for all involved. Whether it’s at work, with a partner, in a community, or with a neighbour or friend, it can feel impossible to get through to one another! When we have trauma, or are lacking skills to communicate effectively, it is painful, and harm to ourselves and our relationships.

Are you lacking the skills to resolve a conflict or ongoing issue? Working with a mediator can help.

How it works

With the help of a mediator, you can break through conflicts with effective communication.

Learn new skills and transform your relationships.

Mediators are trained to be a neutral third party able to identify sources of misunderstanding and support parties to better hear one another and find creative solutions to challenges.

We use a trauma-informed, transformative approach with a focus on skill-building. This means that building trust, learning and personal development are central to the work we do. We offer several ways to teach and support individuals, couples, schools, organizations and communities to reduce the stress that conflicts can cause and improve their relationships.

Our Approach

In a trauma-informed mediation approach, the mediator better understands the needs of clients who are managing triggers and trauma. They look for signs of dysregulation, dissociation, and ensure that parties have options and agency throughout the process. Building trust and repairing ruptures in trust is the foundation of the mediation. Our core practices create psychological safety are using compassion, mindfulness-based grounding and co-regulation practices and reframing narratives so they can better bulid towards collaborative problem-solving.

At Aligned Mediation, we believe that every conflict holds the potential for healing and transformation. Our mission is to guide individuals, couples, and communities through challenging disputes with compassion, clarity, and a deep understanding of the human experience. By integrating mindfulness, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we offer a trauma-informed approach that fosters connection, clarity, and lasting solutions.We provide education, training, mediation and coaching to work with life as it’s happening. We are committed to equity and can provide sliding scale prices on request.
