Client Experiences

What clients and professionals have shared about working with Heart Centered Mediation

Every family comes to mediation for different reasons, and everyone’s experience is a little different. I’m so grateful when someone I’ve worked with takes the time to share their experience.

I hope hearing from other parents and professionals gives you a better idea of what it’s like to work with me and what you can expect from the mediation process.

Feeling More Comfortable With the Process

“My experience with Lynn as the mediator for my case was a pleasant and easy one. I went into this nervous and unsure of what happens and how to get where I wanted to be. She was quick to respond, set things up with me and explained every step of the process. She has a happy and calming demeanor which made this even easier to get through. All around 5 stars!”

"Working with Lynn Givan made a world of difference during a challenging time. I was initially overwhelmed by the thought of mediation, but Lynn’s calm and professional approach immediately put me at ease. She has a remarkable ability to explain complex details clearly and ensured I understood every step of the process. Considering what was involved, Lynn made an inherently difficult situation much easier to navigate. I am truly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate mediator."

“Lynn was amazing to work with. She was patient, easy to talk to, and made the whole process feel comfortable and straightforward. I would happily recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive mediator in the future.”

Working Through Difficult Conversations

“For my child custody modification, myself and my daughters' mom were court ordered to complete mediation. I'm always reluctant about mediation, but sometimes it is a good idea; we completed a plan with only a couple of unresolved issues. Lynn made a difficult situation a lot easier, and I was grateful for that. She was very professional, easy to talk to, and kept everyone (including myself) moving forward even during the most difficult discussions. I would highly recommend having Lynn lead your mediation.”
—Robert
“Going in on a second round of mediation seemed so pointless. But to say the least Lynn with 5 hours helped us achieve more progress and compromise outside of a court room by using her expertise as a family mediator. Her values showed me that there is always a solution as long as you’re willing to get creative. Thank you Lynn!”

A Thoughtful, Neutral Process

“Working with Lynn as a mediator was a very positive experience. She created a comfortable and respectful environment that made it easy to express concerns, preferences, and perspectives throughout the mediation process. Everything was explained clearly, and she did an excellent job communicating information between both parents to ensure everyone understood the discussions. Her professionalism, patience, and neutral approach made the process feel organized and productive. I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone looking for a mediator who is knowledgeable, supportive, and committed to helping both parties communicate effectively.”
—Stephanie
“Lynn is a Nebraska mediator who is committed to remaining impartial throughout the mediation process. Her flexibility and attention to detail made the process seamless, and I appreciated her professionalism, communication, and promptness. I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone in need of mediation services.”
—Antonio
“I had a very positive experience working with Lynn throughout the mediation process. She was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also truly great to work with on a personal level. Her empathetic approach helped ease what could have been a very stressful situation, and she consistently demonstrated fairness and kindness in every interaction.

She made herself available whenever concerns or new developments arose, always taking the time to listen and provide thoughtful guidance. Her ability to remain balanced and compassionate while keeping the process moving forward was incredibly valuable. I’m very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled and understanding mediator.”

Private Conversations When They’re Needed

“I thought the Individual Private Session was very helpful and needed. We covered a lot of stuff that really needed to be talked about in a safe place with no backlash from the other party. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to have everything settled in mediation.”
—Josh
“Lynn was extremely helpful in helping us come to a resolution. She was calm, supportive when needed, and saw all sides. I appreciated her seeing any signs of discomfort or unsettling moments and splitting us up to talk about our concerns privately. She advocated for all of the right things, and in the end, that helped us all come up with a solution together.”

From an Attorney I’ve Worked With

“I am thoroughly impressed with the level of patience, understanding, and skill exercised by Ms. Givan. There are challenges and limitations when working with a pro se opposing party, and given the circumstances, it was fully anticipated that the mediation would not last more than 10 minutes. To my delightful surprise, an amicable resolution was reached in the best interests of the parties' child with both parties walking away with their needs met. I look forward to reaching out to Ms. Givan again for a future client matter.”
