Mediation isn’t just about reaching an agreement. It’s about creating clarity, stability, and a framework for moving forward. Far too often, traditional mediation models fall short. Lawyers focus on legal rights but miss the emotional realities. Therapists understand emotions but can’t translate them into enforceable agreements.

 

At Quantum® ADR, we’ve built something entirely different. A fully online, accessible, and integrated approach that blends the best of law and psychology through our Two-Coach Approach™ to CoMediation. And we do it across all jurisdictions, time zones, and relational dynamics.

 

What Makes Quantum® ADR Different?

Most mediation models rely on a single neutral, leaving blind spots in either the legal framework or the human experience of conflict resolution. Our approach fills those gaps by pairing a legal expert and a relational psychology expert to ensure that both the practical and emotional elements of conflict resolution are fully addressed.

 

The Experts Behind the Two-Coach Approach™ to CoMediation at Quantum® ADR

🔹 Jeff Soilson, JD: After 30 years of divorce and family law litigation, Jeff saw firsthand how courts force families into rigid legal battles that don’t actually resolve their disputes, they just end them on paper. His expertise in property division, financial agreements, estate disputes, and parenting plans helps clients formulate the right questions, understand where to get answers, and determine how to use those answers effectively. He supports clients in navigating legal complexities, identifying key considerations, and knowing when and with whom to confer, ensuring that their agreements are well-informed, durable, and aligned with their long-term goals.

 

🔹 Ashleigh Louis, PhD, LMFT, RYT: A dual-licensed psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and registered yoga teacher, Ashleigh specializes in relational and financial psychology, emotional regulation, and conflict navigation with an emphasis on goal- and value-aligned decision making. She helps clients understand the human dynamics at play (not just in the moment, but in the broader context of their relationships). Whether navigating family disputes, coparenting dynamics, trust and estate conflicts, or ongoing partnerships, she ensures that a process is put in place by which resolutions aren’t just legally enforceable, they’re also psychologically sustainable. By recognizing that relationships are often deeply interconnected and impactful to individual wellbeing far beyond any single dispute, she helps clients find clarity, preserve meaningful connections, and move forward with confidence and dignity.

The Me in Mediation™: Putting You at the Center of Negotiation

Our process isn’t just about legal frameworks or psychological theory. It’s about you.

 

Through our focus on The Me in Mediation™, we help clients gain the insight, agency, and confidence they need to navigate the process with clarity and purpose. We don’t just guide the conversation. We empower clients to actively shape their agreements, ensuring that what’s decided in mediation actually works in real life.

 

A Smarter Approach to Conflict Resolution

After three decades in litigation, Jeff saw firsthand how the traditional approach to resolving family and estate disputes often escalated conflict rather than solving it. In high-stakes cases, courts frequently relied on outside experts (therapists, parenting coordinators, and other consultants) brought in after tensions had already spiraled out of control. This fragmented approach made the process more expensive, more adversarial, and typically less effective in fostering long-term solutions.

 

We built Quantum® ADR to offer an innovative, integrated, and proactive path forward. Rather than stepping in after relationships have broken down, our approach to CoMediation creates a structured, forward-focused process that prevents disputes from turning into ongoing battles.

 

Nowhere is this more critical than in disputes amongst family members. Whereas traditional approaches often become an extension of litigation, reinforcing adversarial dynamics and compliance-based solutions rather than helping parents develop the skills they need to collaborate effectively, our model is designed to:

 

✔️ Support people in making decisions together, not just following court orders

✔️ Shift the focus from conflict to cooperative problem-solving

✔️ Create agreements that work in real life, not just on paper

✔️ Encourage a dynamic, adaptable approach to long-term familial relationships

 

At Quantum® ADR, we recognize that families are deeply interconnected and often need and/or want to maintain relationships far into the future. That’s why our approach integrates legal and relational psychology–to help families not just reach agreements, but actually build a healthier foundation for the future.

 

If you’re looking for a more effective way forward, we’re ready to help—anytime, anywhere.
