Carole McKelvey

Ms. Carole McKelvey is a Florida State Supreme Court Family, County and Circuit Mediator, whose focus has been helping others embark on a journey full of transitions.  Having dealt with life renewing events herself, she learned that first-hand each of us has the strength and resilience to emerge as a better person when left with no choice but to face adversity and
move through it.

Raised and educated in Pittsburgh, she has also lived and worked in New York for several years after finishing her master’s degree and then called Florida home. She is no stranger to
transition and understands the importance of adaptability.

Being a therapist and going through personal life altering experiences has made her a better mediator because she understands the need for compromise. Realizing there is a goal but knowing that successful negotiation means parties must have an alternative to the goal helps her work with disputants to come to an agreement. 

Carole is a trained mediator with a background as a mental health professional and a coach, she brings a level of neutrality, knowledge, and compassion to the process, and holds the standard of confidentiality. By taking the path of mediation, you choose to control the decision-making, mitigate the expense, and avoid a lengthy legal process where you give all authority to a judge.  Choosing mediation creates the best options for you.
