Moving Families Forward

Brenda Hooper formed Step By Step Mediation Services when she saw the need for Family Mediation to extend beyond couples who were going through a Separation or Divorce.

As a Family Mediator, Brenda has works with many couples to reach agreements regarding their family and the division of their assets and debts. Many of these mediated divorces were a failed attempt at a 2nd or 3rd marriage.

"It became disheartening to see the marriages were failing because that meant that not only the adults but also the children were experiencing yet another loss of family and upheaval in their lives".

Brenda saw this pattern of marriages dissolving and recognized that Step Families were having problems and really needed help. Her endeavors took her to New York where she trained to become a Masters Certified Step Family Coach through the Step Family Foundation of America.

It is such a gratifying experience when I work with couples to reach mutually satisfying agreements and leave the mediation feeling relieved knowing that they have their family's best interests looked after.

As one client expressed "A huge rock has been lifted off my shoulders because of this mediation - I feel I can now breath".

I just knew in my heart that if mediation was so successful for divorcing/separating couples - it too could be a powerful tool for step/blended families who really want to stay together but needed the help to navigate through the Blended Family conflicts.

Mediation can help all kinds of families - Traditional -Intact, Divorced or Step families as well as families dealing concerns regarding their Aging Parents.  Mediation is the opportunity for families to talk, to communicate, to express their fears and concerns in an arena where people will hear and really listen.
