Mediation Services

Mediation Services at Austin Advising offer a structured, private setting for people to address conflict before it hardens into lasting damage. Led by Alex Austin, a certified mediator with 30 years of experience, we guide conversations that might otherwise feel impossible to have.

We work with neighbors, workplace teams, boards, coalitions, and community groups who need a neutral presence to hold the process. Every party is heard fully, ground rules are clear, and the pace allows for both facts and feelings to be named. Our role is not to decide who is right, but to help you reach agreements that people can actually live with.

Clients come to us for interpersonal disputes, organizational tensions, and conflicts that sit somewhere between personal and structural. Within this service, some matters call for focused conflict resolution, others for contract-related or organizational disputes, and others for community or nonprofit-specific mediation; we are prepared to shape the process accordingly.

Sessions are typically held virtually, with the option of separate or joint meetings as needed. You leave with written understandings where appropriate, practical next steps, and a shared sense of what has been resolved. For many clients, mediation becomes the turning point where a draining conflict gives way to clarity and workable agreement.
