Family mediation services to provide you concrete pathways towards a peaceful separation
Helping families find their way, together or apart
Separation can put us on precarious footing. Family mediation can clear the path and show a peaceful way forward.
What is Family Mediation?
Family Mediation is a non-adversarial form of dispute resolution involving a trained, impartial professional who helps the parties reach a voluntary, fair and reasonable settlement of their needs and interests relating to parenting, separation, and/or divorce.
Parable supports your family through major changes by focusing on what matters most
Passionate individual working with hopeful families
Hi, I’m Dr. Sara Shamdani. I have a decade of experience with families and children, particularly those fleeing domestic violence. Understanding your needs to give you options and processes that make sense for you and your life is what I’m passionate about.
As author Priya Parker wrote in The Art of Gathering “purpose is your bouncer”, this is a crucial concept and question I weave into my work - what is your purpose? Your purpose is your north star. Without it, you’ll be travelling without a compass. I use my academic and experiential training to give you concrete tools to work toward a peaceful future.
