a new beginning – my approach to mediation
Mediation, unlike any form of adversarial approach, sets a positive tone at a time of conflict by promoting honesty, openness, understanding and respect. Mediation creates a safe environment for you to express your own feelings and your own needs and to hear and understand the feelings and needs of the other person. This process allows each of you to gain control over your lives, thereby enabling you to make appropriate and informed decisions for yourselves.
As a mediator, my role is to be impartial and as such, I make no judgments. I will act as a neutral person and guide you through the process to help you reach an agreement that you can live with
I will bring balance back into the room if I sense that one person is feeling left out. I will not force you into any decision or agreement with which you will not feel informed and comfortable with your choice. This is not a place to win or to lose – but to find peace and a new beginning.
If this approach makes sense to you, I encourage you to contact me at (212) 472-8626
“Jennifer Safian is a remarkable mediator. She is able to combine realism and compassion and she brings both to the mediation table. Her intelligent and thoughtful approach empowers parties to be the very best they can be when crafting a divorce agreement, focusing on the best interests of all involved including the children.”
-Jenny Besch, Director, Mediation Center Serving Westchester & Rockland Counties.
some of the many benefits of mediation are:
- with mediation – you make the decisions, not a judge:
When getting separated with the help of a trained professional mediator, no one will force you into any decision that you don’t want to make. The mediator is there to guide you both so that you include all the issues that need to be worked out as well as to help you generate options to create a Separation Agreement. The contents of the Agreement are controlled by you and your spouse only, as opposed to having a judge, who doesn’t know you or your family, mandate decisions for you.
- mediation is family friendly:
Choosing mediation and its more amicable approach to getting separated, will benefit your family and your children. Decisions will be made with the best interests of the children at the forefront. Unlike the adversarial approach to divorce, parents are encouraged to create theirParenting Plan together, to try and make positive decisions regarding how they can each contribute to the lives of their children and to not use the failures of the other party to attack each other in order to get what seems like a more advantageous parenting agreement.
- mediation is equitable and fair for both of you:
The mediator is a neutral party who will protect both of you, and through the mediation process, will help to ensure that you build a Legal Separation Agreement that feels equitable and fair to you both.
- mediation is a fraction of the cost of litigation:
You and your spouse don’t need to hire and pay separate attorneys to represent each of you in order to work out all the different issues that need to be addressed. The mediator charges one fee for both of you, keeping the Cost of Your Divorce considerably less than litigation.
- mediation sessions are available to fit your schedule:

In mediation you can be as creative as you wish to be. Only you know the specifics of your lives, what works for you and what does not. As your mediator I’m there to help you “think outside of the box” if necessary, sometimes coming up with non traditional answers, but answers that will satisfy not only your financial needs but your emotional needs as well.
