Resolve Conflict. Restore Connection. Move Forward.

Mediation for Life's Most Important Relationships

When communication breaks down—whether in a family relationship or at work—it can feel like the damage is beyond repair.

Tension builds. Trust erodes. Silence or blame replaces connection. And yet, under it all, you may still wish for peace, clarity, or closure.

There is a way forward.

And it doesn’t require choosing between fighting, shutting down, or walking away.

When Mediation Helps

You don’t need to be in a legal dispute to benefit from mediation.

My work supports people navigating:

  • Family conflict, estrangement, or inheritance rifts

  • Relationship breakdowns, including separation or divorce

  • Co-parenting disagreements and child support conversations

  • Founders or business partners facing value misalignment, communication strain, or structural decisions

  • Any recurring conflict where you want understanding, not just a verdict

If you're stuck in painful dynamics but still care about the outcome—and the relationship—mediation offers a path through.

What Makes This Work Different

What often keeps conflict stuck isn't just disagreement—it’s the loss of goodwill and the fear that we won’t be heard or understood.

That’s where I come in.

As a neutral facilitator, I create a space where both sides can:

  • Be fully heard and truly understand the other person

  • Name what matters most to them

  • Begin to see the humanity in each other again

  • Discover new possibilities for cooperation, closure, or repair

I slow things down, help people move beyond blame or silence, and guide a conversation that opens space for insight, relief, and resolution.

The Benefits of Mediation

✔️ Reconnect through real understanding – You don’t have to agree on everything, but when each person feels seen, it’s possible to move forward with care and clarity.
✔️ Design lasting solutions – Agreements that emerge from mutual understanding are more durable—and far more likely to be honored.
✔️ Avoid costly litigation – Mediation is a fraction of the cost of legal conflict and doesn’t require lawyers.
✔️ Find peace of mind – Conflict is emotionally exhausting. This process helps you reclaim your energy and emotional freedom.
✔️ Learn tools for healthier communication – Many clients walk away with more confidence to navigate future conversations.

Why Mediation Works

Lawyers are trained to win. Mediation is designed to heal.

When relationships continue—whether in business, co-parenting, or family—there is no true "win" unless both parties feel respected and whole. Mediation prioritizes mutual understanding, voluntary agreements, and outcomes that work in real life, not just on paper.

Who I Am

I'm a trained mediator and facilitator of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). As a former attorney, I understand the pressure of high-stakes conversations and the cost of unresolved tension.

What I offer now is very different: a grounded, compassionate process that transforms conflict into clarity.

Whether you're navigating family heartache or a breakdown in professional trust, I bring warmth, skill, and steadiness to help you reach resolution.

Let’s Talk

If you're tired of silence, tension, or arguments that go nowhere and are ready to start moving toward clarity and peace, I invite you to schedule a free 15- minute consultation.

Mediation doesn’t have to be a last resort. It can be your first step toward peace.

Testimonials

  • Haley was like a gentle light that illuminated my feelings and needs and helped me see those of my friend as well. Her patience and spaciousness allowed calm and safety to flow around me. I felt complete trust in her during the mediation process. I would have been really overwhelmed to attempt to work through the conflict without her there.

  • Haley facilitated one of the hardest conversations I have had in my life. I was holding so much grief inside over a deep misunderstanding with a best friend. Having Haley as a third party in our discussion made all the difference in allowing our emotions to be modulated and paced for comprehension. I would highly recommend her to mediate any situation that is challenging to sit with.

    Lori Weber

  • I had the pleasure to meet Haley as a fellow student of a very special approach to mediation that utilizes Nonviolent Communication. Having practiced regularly with her during and after our training, I've admired Haley's capability at embodying both the techniques that we were taught as well as the spirit of this unique approach, which I understand as a conscious and compassionate desire to help all parties meet their specific needs during the mediation process. Haley helps all parties understand and express what is important to them in a way that the other party can comprehend and appreciate. I also received the gift of her skills firsthand when she mediated a real-life session that involved myself. I was astounded at her ease and skill, as well as her profound care for all parties involved, and was very grateful for the result of her work. These experiences allow me to whole-heartedly recommend Haley Morrisson as a mediator for anyone who wishes to resolve a conflict in their life, regardless of the size of that conflict. Her dedication to finding a resolution that can be embraced by all parties makes Haley my first choice for any future mediation needs.
