Say Life Improves After Mediation

You’re In Good Hands

At Concord Counsel, we help individuals, families, and organizations navigate conflict without the stress and cost of litigation. Our tailored mediation process empowers you to move forward, whether you’re navigating a family dispute, a workplace challenge, or a personal disagreement. Here, you’ll find a calm space to be heard and a trusted partner to help you through.

Mediations are conveniently offered in-person at our downtown Tacoma office or virtually.

Separation/Divorce

Mediation offers a thoughtful and dignified approach to divorce and dissolution.  The mediative process empowers separating couples to make informed decisions about custody, finances, and property division on their own terms. By emphasizing collaboration over courtroom battles, mediation reduces stress and sets the stage for healthier post-divorce relationships. Further, when children are involved, parenting plans are crafted with care and respect for the perspectives of all parents.

Landlord - Tenant

Conflicts between landlords and tenants can be stressful and disruptive for everyone involved. Whether the issue is unpaid rent, property damage, lease terms, or quality of living concerns, mediation offers a respectful and efficient way to resolve disputes.  In this way, mediation offers long-term housing stability for all and allows the parties to work toward practical solutions without the cost and delay of court. Agreements reached through mediation are often more sustainable, because they reflect the needs and input of everyone at the table.

Workplace Conflicts

Workplace conflicts can arise from miscommunication, personality differences, unclear responsibilities, or concerns about fairness. These issues lead to tension and reduced productivity. Mediation provides a safe and confidential space for employees and supervisors to talk openly in order to rebuild trust and create a healthier work environment. Mediation encourages mutual understanding and helps clarify expectations moving forward. By addressing conflict early, mediation can prevent escalation and support long-term team cohesion.

Neighborhood Disputes

Neighborhood disputes often arise from everyday issues that can quickly escalate, such as noise complaints, property boundaries, shared driveways, fence construction, parking, or pet-related concerns. These conflicts strain relationships and erode the sense of community. Mediation offers a neighborly, non-adversarial path forward by creating a respectful space where all parties can express concerns, clarify misunderstandings, and work toward practical solutions.

Consumer Disputes

Whether it’s a disagreement over a product, billing issue, warranty concern, or service dissatisfaction, consumer disputes can be frustrating and time-consuming. Mediation offers a neutral, efficient, and cost-effective way for businesses and customers to resolve conflicts without resorting to legal action. The process is confidential, collaborative, and designed to preserve relationships while resolving the issue at hand.

Faith Community Disputes

Conflicts within faith communities can be deeply personal while touching on values, relationships, and shared purpose. Mediation provides a respectful, confidential space to address disagreements over leadership, doctrine, or interpersonal tensions while preserving the unity and integrity of the community. Through guided dialogue, faith communities can restore trust and move forward together in peace.

Lead Mediator

Dr. Philip Lindholm is the Founder and Lead Mediator of Concord Counsel. He brings to each mediation a rare depth of perspective, shaped by his experience as a CEO, real estate consultant, grief counselor, Air Force Chaplain, and student of the law.  Philip trained in mediation at Seattle University School of Law and the Pierce County Dispute Resolution Center, and currently serves in the Puyallup Tribal Court as both mediator and spokesperson, helping resolve disputes with cultural sensitivity and mutual understanding. He also served as an extern with the City of Tacoma Prosecutor’s Office where he gained hands-on experience in municipal law and restorative justice practices.

Philip takes a facilitative approach to mediation in which the parties feel respected and heard.
