Organizational & Multi-Party Mediation
—  "When we contacted Kenneth Newberger, we were desperate.  Ken's work with us led us out of our quagmire to higher ground.  He knows the way out because he truly understands and respects the needs of human egos and is uncompromising about the importance of clean, honest communication between persons.  All this gives to his consulting both balance and integrity, rare commodities in these days of the quick fix rip-off.  It's no understatement to say that transformation happened here in the wake of Ken's work with us.  The man truly has a gift!"

Two-Party and Marital Mediation
—  "I have been meaning to send you an email for quite some time.  My wife and I are doing fantastic.  I want to thank you for all your help.  Without your guidance, I'm certain we would have had a very different outcome in our marriage."

Reconciliation — Bare Bones Outline

01

Free Consultation

A confidential 20-minute call to understand your situation and determine whether our approach to mediation is the right path forward for you.

02

Intake & Preparation

Early in the process, each participant reviews and signs a ground rules document that emphasizes confidentiality and mutual respect.

Prior to the first session, Dr. Newberger reviews relevant materials, including background documents & records, and insights gleaned from his proprietary Conflict Analysis Tool.  He then meets privately with each participant. Using these conversations and materials, he crafts a clear, focused agenda for the work ahead.

Mediation Sessions

Facilitated dialogue — held virtually or at your location — continues until the parties reach agreement. Dr. Newberger guides the conversation to keep it productive and ensures every participant's voice is heard as they work toward resolution.

For Profit and Non-Profit Organizations
Working with organizations differs from mediating between two individual disputants in several important ways. For example, you will be asked to identify one or more trusted individuals, respected by all sides, to help Dr. Newberger gain insight into the history and inner workings of the organization. Beyond resolving personal disputes, he may also recommend broader changes that address underlying factors contributing to conflict. To learn more about his approach to organizational mediation — including his availability to travel to out-of-state locations — contact Dr. Newberger directly.

Written Agreement

A Personal Word

If you're here, chances are an important relationship is broken — a marriage, a family, a business partnership, a workplace, or any for-profit or non-profit organization — and you're wondering if it can be fixed.

I want you to know:  I've sat across from people in some of their most painful moments.  And time and again, I've watched conflict give way to clarity, and hurt give way to healing.  That's what I'm here for — to help you find your way through.

You don't have to have it all figured out right now.  Let's talk about it.  The call is free, it's confidential, and it just might be one of the most important conversations you have.  I'd be honored to help.
