You and your partner are different. You’ve noticed that…especially when you need to resolve relationship problems.
-
What you value is may be different, if not in substance, perhaps in detail
-
What you want may be different, or have changed substantially since you entered the relationship
-
What you expect from life, from relationships, from each other may be different…
-
And most people–likely everyone, but you may be that one exception–come equipped on your relationship journey with enough baggage to slow progress to a crawl, or bring it to a halt!
Too many couples think they SHOULD know all about how to have a great relationship. That’s the first error. They don’t. They know about their parents’ relationship and their friend’s relationships, or some ideal a magazine or television show puts forth.
They don’t know about creating relationships that reach their full potential and allow each partner to do the same.
Trained as a psychologist and a professional mediator, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler brings that expertise as well as years of experience working with couples, resolving relationship problems and mediating differences and difficulties. She brings a unique perspective.
Many mediators have a legal background. This in itself can be a detriment as attorneys are taught the nuances of an adversarial approach to managing conflicts. Mediators are neutrals. Mediators want to bring an equitable, agreed upon settlement, with the least amount of drama possible.
Dr. Shaler can help you uncover and talk about what is underlying your current difficulties, disputes and differences, and clarify and understand the root issues. She will help you move from adversaries to co-decision-makers, from frustrated to frank, from charging to charged up….and, all without assumptions, interruptions or, ultimatums.
