  • I absolutely value this type of communication you model and teach- as it gets to the core of true empowerment, 
    versus power- wanting power over one’s domain -which actually disempowers. Thank you!

  • Keren Abrams is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and gentle listener with a talent for helping people. Since starting mediation with her, I have been fortunate enough to learn more about best communication practices and how I can apply them in my co-parenting experience. Her wisdom and generosity is truly a gift. If you have an opportunity to work with her, I highly recommend that you do.

Michael Travers, Mediator & Counselor at Law, facilitates effective communication and greater understanding. Working exclusively as Mediator with our Center, he is committed to skillful conflict resolution and to efficiently refine & define plans & agreements.

Michael holds a JD (1993) from Vermont law School where he graduated magna cum laude, and received the Vermont Law Scholar award in 1992. He holds an MA in Counseling Psychology (1986), where he had his first introduction to mediation training and performed clinical milieu therapy from 1987-1988.

During his law studies he was a visiting student for one semester at the University of Denver School of Law’s Mediation and Arbitration Center.  There Travers took his perspectives on what conventional law lacked and dived deeply into Alternative Dispute Resolution philosophies and methods, as student and practitioner.   

Following that program, Michael did a number of intensive trainings with the Center for Mediation in Law (NKA The Center for Understanding in Conflict) in the mid- 90’s as a young attorney. The Center’s model for facilitating joint discussions among parties in legal disputes seeded his efforts to make Mediation his professional focus, to which he then added what is today known as the field Collaborative Law.*

 *Please note* Mr. Travers is only a licensed attorney in CO, NJ, & NY. He does not provide legal representation or advice to or for SFMC or SFMC’s customers.
