Tonya Brock Family Mediator

 

I am an experienced family mediator and hold accreditations from the Ontario Association of Family Mediators (OAFM) and the Family Dispute Resolution Institute of Ontario (FDRIO).  I am also an accredited Child Protection Mediator and I am an approved provider for New Ways for Families with the High Conflict Institute.  With almost 2 decades of mediation experience spanning neighbourhood disputes, first-time victim-offender and for the past 12 years, divorce and separation both as a Court-Based Family Mediator and a private mediator, I have more than 600 mediations under my belt.  I am proud to have an exceptionally high resolution rate.  If you and your co-parent are committed to coming to an agreement you can both follow, I am committed to helping you get there.   

I specialize in parental decision-making (custody), parenting time (access) and child support issues and bring a non-judgmental approach which focuses on empowering families to find their own solutions while keeping the best interest of their children at the centre of all their decisions.  My clients emerge with both a resolution and a feeling of empowerment.  I am committed to helping families assess and work within their strengths.

While mediation is often tense and challenging, I bring enthusiasm, humour and an encouraging approach when appropriate and helpful.I am also a mediation coach and trainer assisting new mediators to develop skills.
