For Practices
Give your clients a trusted path through conflict — under your roof.
Partner with a Licensed Professional Counselor who is also a Rule 31 Listed Mediator.
The Mediation-as-a-Service℠ model: you add a service; Julie handles the rest.
No cost to your practice. Julie bills the parties directly, and no referral fees change hands in either direction.
Why practices partner with Julie
Expand your services
Add Rule 31 mediation to your menu with no hiring, training, or credentialing.
Continuity of care
Clients work through conflict in rooms and with a front desk they already know.
Protect your clinicians' role
Therapists stay therapists — not go-betweens, custody advisors, or witnesses.
Safety-first handling
Every party is privately screened; separate-room formats are available in every setting.
A turnkey process
Intake, screening, scheduling, sessions, documentation, Rule 31 reporting, and billing are all Julie's.
Middle Tennessee coverage
Sumner, Davidson, Williamson, Wilson, Rutherford, and Robertson counties — on-site, courthouse, or virtual.

On-Site Partner
Julie mediates at your location on scheduled or as-needed days.
Best for: Practices with a private room (or two) that clients already know.
You provide: a private room on agreed days (two for shuttle sessions). Julie provides: everything else.

Read the conflict-of-interest policyPractice owner FAQ
- Does this cost our practice anything?
- No. Julie bills the parties directly and no referral fees change hands. The only thing you may provide is a room, and any space arrangement is written separately at fair market value.
- Who bills the clients?
- Julie bills the parties directly.
- Is mediation covered by insurance?
- Generally no; mediation is not a health-care service. Parties pay directly and receive a written explanation of fees at intake.
- What if one party is our client and the other isn't?
- Julie discloses the relationship to all parties, and mediation proceeds only with everyone's written agreement.
- Can our clinicians attend?
- Generally no, to protect neutrality and the clinician's role; clients can process the experience with their therapist afterward.
