Expert Guidance for Families in Transition
Whether you need mediation, coaching, or education, The Embraced Group offers compassionate, professional support tailored to your family's unique needs.
Family Mediation
Resolve Disputes. Preserve Relationships.
As a MN Rule 114 Qualified Neutral Family Mediator, The Embraced Group provides a structured, confidential process that empowers families to reach their own agreements — without the cost and conflict of litigation.
What Is Family Mediation?
Family mediation is a voluntary, confidential process in which a neutral third party — the mediator — helps disputing parties communicate, identify their interests, and negotiate mutually acceptable agreements. Unlike a judge, the mediator does not decide the outcome. You do.
Areas of Practice
- Child Custody & Parenting Time
- Child Support
- Dissolution & Divorce
- General Family Matters
- Post-Dissolution Modifications
- Co-Parenting Agreements
A Process Designed for Everyone
Every mediation begins with individual screening interviews — a private, confidential conversation with each party before any joint session. This ensures the process is safe, equitable, and appropriate for your specific circumstances. From the first call to the final agreement, our approach is structured to give every party a fair, supported, and dignified experience. Sessions are a minimum of 2 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
High Conflict Family Coaching
Navigate High Conflict with Clarity and Confidence.
When communication has broken down and conflict feels unmanageable, high conflict family coaching provides the tools, strategies, and support you need to protect yourself and your children.
What Is High Conflict Family Coaching?
High conflict family coaching is a specialized service for individuals navigating separation or divorce involving persistent conflict, power imbalances, or coercive control dynamics. Unlike therapy, coaching is forward-focused — helping you develop practical strategies to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and make decisions that serve your family's best interests.
Coercive Control Expertise
The Embraced Group holds specialized training as a Coercive Control Specialist. Coercive control is a pattern of behavior used to dominate, isolate, and manipulate a partner — often invisible to the legal system but deeply harmful to families. This specialized training allows us to recognize these patterns and provide targeted support to those experiencing them.
Who This Service Is For
- Individuals in high-conflict divorce or custody disputes
- Parents navigating co-parenting with a difficult ex-partner
- Survivors of coercive control or domestic abuse
- Parents concerned about their children's wellbeing during conflict
