Jennifer Guarino

Certified Mediator

My mediation practice specializes in family mediation (including divorce, child custody, and child support), community mediation, meeting facilitation, and restorative justice.

As a neutral facilitator, I foster productive communications among people in conflict. Using practical problem-solving approaches, I can guide you toward resolution and help improve your relationships. I serve clients in Orange County and beyond, and can travel to your area.

Before coming to mediation, I spent 35 years as an environmental and science educator. In this capacity, I worked with K-12 students and teachers, college students, and adult learners to help them understand the systems of which they’re a part, and to build positive relationships with their world.

While my kids were growing up, I spent over 10 years as a volunteer mentor in their church-based youth group, during which I helped to develop programming, served as a role model for teenagers, and made thousands (millions?) of spaghetti dinners.

To learn how to help people in conflict, I received a Graduate Certificate in Mediation and Applied Conflict Studies from Champlain College as well as specialized training in divorce, domestic and sexual violence, substance use disorders, trauma, and family dynamics. As a lifelong learner and a professional who’s committed to high quality work, I continue to build my skills by attending pertinent trainings. I also participate in various mediation networks, including the Vermont Family Mediators, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, and the Association for Conflict Resolution.

I bring skills and experiences earned over a lifetime – as an educator, a communicator, a problem-solver, a systems thinker, and a mom – to my mediation practice.

“Thank you for your time, attention and thoughtful practice in working with us over the last couple of weeks. We will certainly keep you in mind should we need a mediator again, and I will definitely recommend you to others.”
