Frequently Asked Questions

You May Be Wondering:

What does it mean to offer trauma-informed, relational, and strengths-based services?

I recognize that conflict can be shaped by past experiences, so I offer a process that emphasizes safety, trust, and compassion. I focus on the specific connections between people, not just the problem at hand. My role is to help uncover and amplify everyone's unique strengths and resources to support sustainable healing and resolution.

Why mediation instead of therapy or legal action?
Therapy is ideal for long-term emotional healing, and courts can resolve disputes through litigation. Neither is designed to help people co-create practical agreements to preserve relationships. Mediation bridges that gap. It's efficient, cost-effective, relationship-centered, and empowering.

What if the other person isn’t willing to participate?
Mediation is voluntary for all participants, so some may choose not to engage. I offer coaching as an alternative—supporting you in making the best decision in your situation, even if you’re navigating it solo.

What if it gets uncomfortable?
Conflict is hard and often uncomfortable, but I'm here to make it manageable. We'll create a process where emotions are welcome, boundaries are honored, and your needs take priority. You can always pause, regroup, and step away as needed. Discomfort can foster growth when approached appropriately.

Can we meet virtually? Can we meet in person?

Yes, I offer both in-person services in the Denver area and virtual sessions across the United States. We’ll do what works best for you.

How much does it cost?

I offer sliding scale and flexible payment options to ensure my restorative conflict resolution services are accessible to all. Typically, restorative mediation and dialogue facilitation are $200/hour (cost shared among participants), and individual conflict coaching is $100/hour. Mediation and dialogue sessions are scheduled for a minimum of two hours. Service packages are available at a discounted rate. If pricing is a barrier, let’s talk about what might be possible for you.

What if I don't know if these services are a good fit? 

No problem. You can schedule a free consultation by contacting 970-480-7411 or libby@conflictfromtheheart.com. We'll discuss what you're looking for and I'll do my best to provide a referral if I'm not the best fit for you at this time.
