Divorce Mediation & Child Inclusive Mediation Services
Divorce is one of the most emotionally complex transitions a family can face. At JRNY Counseling, we’re here to help you navigate it. Our divorce mediation and child inclusive mediation services offer a respectful, family-centered alternative to courtroom conflict. Contact us today at (463) 258-6222 or request your free introductory discussion to get started.
Divorce Mediation: A Better Path Forward
Divorce mediation is a cooperative, cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation. A neutral mediator guides both spouses through productive conversations to resolve issues such as child custody, parenting plans, property division, and financial agreements. Mediation helps families reduce conflict and reach fair, customized solutions without going to court. It’s a faster, more respectful path to divorce that keeps you in control of the outcome.
Our divorce mediator at JRNY Counseling will help you address:
Child custody and parenting plans tailored to your child’s schedule, routines, and relationships
Holiday and visitation arrangements that allow your child to maintain meaningful time with both parents
Property division handled with clarity and mutual respect
Financial agreements that account for both parties’ circumstances
Child support calculations based on your family’s specific parenting arrangement
Child Inclusive Mediation
Child inclusive mediation is a family-focused approach that gives children a safe, supported voice in the divorce process. A trained child consultant meets with the child to understand their experiences and needs, then shares insights with parents so they can come to more informed decisions. This family mediation process reduces conflict, strengthens co-parenting, and helps families create parenting plans that are in the child’s best interests.
Your child will never be asked to choose sides or decide where to live. The goal is simply to give parents a clearer picture of their child’s world so that the decisions you make truly reflect their best interests.
Counseling & Therapy Services
No matter where you are in your journey, JRNY offers counseling and therapy services tailored to meet your needs. We take a flexible, eclectic approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based methods to find what works best for you.
Individual Counseling
A one-on-one space to explore what you’re going through, build self-awareness, and develop practical tools to support your mental health. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or simply feeling stuck, individual counseling gives you dedicated time and support to focus on you.
Couples Therapy
Relationships take work, and sometimes you need a neutral, skilled guide to help you move through conflict, rebuild connection, or navigate a difficult transition together. Our therapists work with couples at all stages, whether you’re looking to strengthen what you have or find a healthier path forward.
Family Therapy
Family dynamics are complex, and when one person is struggling, the whole family often feels it. Family therapy brings everyone to the table to improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen the relationships that matter most.
EMDR
EMDR therapy is a proven, structured approach that helps you process painful memories and reduce their emotional weight. If you’re carrying trauma or anxiety, our trained therapists will guide you through each step so you can heal and move forward with confidence.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need separate lawyers before mediation?
Yes, you will both need your own lawyers.
What preparation is needed before mediation?
We tailor our services to wherever you are in the process, so you don’t need to bring anything special for your first appointment. If you haven’t even filed yet, that’s fine. If you have a list of 10 items you’ve already decided with your partner, we can help you too.
How do we handle child support and visitation?
Every family decides what is best for the children. Since you are going through private mediation instead of through the court, you and your partner have much more influence on where your children spend their time.
What if we can’t come to an agreement?
If you agree on most things but there are one or two areas that you don’t agree on, we can write up the rest and file the agreements with the court. Then you and your partner can rely on attorneys to navigate the last issue(s).
