Your child's voice deserves to be heard.
When parents separate, children have needs they can't always put into words. My Child's Voice is a specialized mediation service that brings those needs gently and safely into the process — without ever placing your child in the middle.
Children feel more than they can say.
Research consistently shows that children do better after separation when they feel heard, when parents understand what's beneath their behavior, and when parenting plans reflect their actual developmental needs.
They feel heard and emotionally safeA trained child-inclusive mediator meets with your child privately, in a child-friendly, age-appropriate way — no pressure, no sides.
Parents gain real insightYou learn what your child actually needs — not just what they're showing on the surface.
Conflict is reducedWhen both parents understand the child's experience, conversations shift from positions to purpose.
Plans that lastParenting agreements built around your child's temperament, stage, needs and experience endure far longer.
Built around your child. Designed for your family.
Every service we offer is grounded in one belief: children shouldn't pay the price of their parents' divorce.

Dr. Eliezer Jones, PhD
I founded this service after nearly two decades of working with children, couples, and families — and after witnessing how the divorce process itself can sometimes cause more harm than the divorce.
