Family Law MediationHi! We’re Poppy and Geoff Spencer.
We are a wife-husband team, both previously twice-divorced, each experiencing the mediation process.
Wow. We wish we had some advance preparation of what to expect when you’re divorcing.
Both terrified prior to going into mediation, we had no idea then what mediation entailed; had no idea that we actually had a voice in the process.
That’s why we have made it our mission to help people take away all the unknowns and fears of mediation and to facilitate a mediation where both parties have self-determination, confidence, and their own power to make the best decisions for themselves and their children.
Poppy, a former Psychology professor for 10 years, came from a therapy background, and together with Geoff, who has a masters certification in conflict resolution, started a counseling practice. What we discovered over the past decade, was that so many people came to us who wanted to move on from their marriage or relationship, but wanted to do it amicably.
Florida has one of the most stringent requirements for Mediator certification. We feel fortunate that we were able to get our mediator training and certification with one of the mediation field's foremost experts.
As Florida Supreme Court Certified Family Law Mediators, our promise to you is to give you the best opportunity for a fair resolution. Unbiased, neutral, and ethical, we work as a team to give clients a 360 degree perspective. Often, one of us will observe something the other has not, so it is rare that we overlook significant and seemingly insignificant comments, expressions, intonations, and body language.
And as Certified Myers Briggs Practitioners, we have a keen understanding of personality preferences which can be helpful for both parties during mediation.
We are not lawyers, and so do not give legal advice. However, we do offer suggestions of creative solutions to both parties that may not have been considered.
With us, you get two mediators for the price of one:
2 Pair of ears.
2 Pair of eyes.
2 Minds.
And 2 Hearts.
