Transform Conflict Into Resolution
Dedicated Service & Customized Solutions
A thought leader in mediation, Mark B. Baer draws on decades of experience to help individuals and families resolve conflict with dignity and clarity.
Pasadena Mediator & Conflict Resolution Consultant
When facing divorce or other family matters, the best outcomes often come from working with a psychologically-minded professional who understands family dynamics and conflict resolution beyond the traditional legal lens.
The emotional and financial costs of conflict are shaped by the approach and skill of those involved. Adversarial methods escalate tension and expenses, while experienced mediators using collaborative techniques help de-escalate and resolve issues more constructively. In the end, fighting rarely solves problems — but guided problem-solving does.

Mediation: A Smarter Way to Resolve Disputes
When families and relationships are at stake, adversarial tactics often do more harm than good. Litigation tends to escalate conflict, increase distrust, and shut down communication.
Mediation offers a better path.
Instead of hiring opposing attorneys to “win,” parties can work with a trusted, skilled mediator to bridge their differences and find lasting, cooperative solutions.
“As I view it, mediation is a ‘bridge building’ and problem-solving process, which is very different from an adversarial approach”
— Mark B. Baer
Effective mediators de-escalate conflict, promote understanding, and guide people toward resolution. When done well, mediation is often the only process needed.
