Child-Inclusive Mediation

Your child's voice
deserves to be heard.

When parents separate, children have needs they can't always put into words. My Child's Voice is a specialized mediation service that brings those needs gently and safely into the process — without ever placing your child in the middle.

"Your child's perspective
changes everything."

Children feel more than they can say.

Research consistently shows that children do better after separation when they feel heard, when parents understand what's beneath their behavior, and when parenting plans reflect their actual developmental needs.

They feel heard and emotionally safeA trained mediator meets with your child privately, in a warm, age-appropriate way — no pressure, no sides.

Parents gain real insightYou learn what your child actually needs — not just what they're showing on the surface — so plans are built on truth, not assumption.

Conflict is reducedWhen both parents understand the child's experience, conversations shift from positions to purpose: what truly supports your child.

Plans that lastParenting agreements built around your child's temperament and stage endure far longer than those imposed from the outside.

Dr. Eliezer Jones, PhD

I founded this service after nearly two decades of working with children, couples, and families — and after witnessing how the divorce process itself can sometimes cause more harm than the divorce.

My background in clinical psychology, combined with specialized training in child-inclusive mediation and certification from Northwestern University, allows me to hold both the emotional and practical dimensions of your family's transition with care.
