When You Need Clarity -
Not Another Argument
Facilitated by Robin Quinn Keehn & Nina Mercie —
Certified Mediators and Human Dynamics Specialists
If conversations leave you anxious, exhausted, or stuck in the same cycle, mediation offers a structured path toward resolution — whether that means repair, separation, or simply clear next steps.
Available virtually or in-person.
You might be here because
You feel anxious before bringing something up.
You avoid conversations to prevent escalation.
The same issue keeps resurfacing.
You’re emotionally worn down from trying to resolve it on your own.
You’re navigating separation or divorce and want to reduce harm.
You’re afraid of saying the wrong thing — or hearing something you can’t un-hear.
You need a decision, not another cycle.
There's a way to slow this down
Mediation creates a structured, facilitated environment where conversations unfold intentionally — not reactively.
It allows both people to speak, listen, and move toward clarity without interruption, escalation, or avoidance.
You don’t have to solve everything at once.
You just need a process.
Some come hoping to repair.
Others come seeking clarity, decisions, or closure.
Both are valid.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I hire a mediator?
When you've tried to talk it out and it keeps escalating, when there's resentment or broken trust, or when two people or two sides are stuck and it's affecting everyone around them. A neutral third party changes what's possible.
What's the difference between mediation and just talking it out?
A mediator creates a structured, neutral, confidential process so both sides actually feel heard, get to the real issue underneath, and reach a workable resolution — instead of repeating the same argument that keeps getting worse.
Is mediation confidential?
Yes. What's brought into mediation stays in mediation.
Do you mediate business partner or co-founder conflicts?
Yes — business partners, co-founders, leadership and team conflicts, family-owned businesses, and family or relationship conflict like co-parenting and separation.
How long does mediation take?
It varies with the situation, but many conflicts move a long way in one to a few focused sessions. We'll scope it in a short confidential consultation first.
Is it in-person or virtual?
Both. Sessions are available virtually or in person — based in Boise and San Diego, serving clients regionally in person and virtually nationwide.
What if the other person isn't ready?
Start anyway. Even if you're the only one ready, a confidential consultation helps you get clear on the situation and figure out the right next step.
