I have sat where you are sitting. As a parent to a young child, I personally experienced separation and divorce, and I continue to live the realities of co-parenting every day. I understand the fears that come with this transition, concerns about parenting plans, finances, living arrangements, and how to protect your child’s well-being.
Through intentional planning and respectful communication, I learned that families can move through divorce with clarity instead of conflict. Family mediation creates space for thoughtful agreements that support long-term stability, healthy co-parenting, and peaceful resolution for everyone involved.
While my co-parent and I were not strong partners in marriage, we have become committed partners in co-parenting, continually prioritizing our daughter’s best interests. We have each built meaningful individual lives while honoring our shared responsibility as parents.
If you are navigating separation or considering mediation, know that clarity, cooperation, and forward momentum are possible. You do not have to walk this path alone.
Meet Joel Davis, Family Mediator
Domestic Relations Mediator in Indiana and Ohio
Joel Davis brings thousands of hours of experience supporting individuals and families through life’s most significant transitions. From 2012 to 2016, Joel owned and operated The Coaching Cabin in Broad Ripple, where his early mediation work began. During that time, he supported clients from diverse backgrounds, including many families navigating complex relational and life changes.
Joel went on to become a State Registered Domestic Relations Mediator in both Indiana and Ohio, completing each state’s independent training and education requirements. Joel initially trained with internationally recognized mediation icon, Zena Zumeta, and went on to also train with Bill Eddy of the High Conflict Institute, a pioneer of high-conflict personality theory. Joel’s work is grounded in thoughtful process, respectful communication, and practical decision-making that supports long-term stability for families.
Supporting individuals through these pivotal seasons is not just Joel’s profession. It is his life’s work. He approaches mediation with care for both present realities and the ripple effects decisions create for the future, helping clients build agreements they can truly live into.
Outside of his mediation practice, Joel is a devoted father to an incredible daughter and a proud companion to his Bernadoodle, Stillsy. He is also an accomplished singer-songwriter, hobbyist woodworker, avid hiker, and enthusiastic from-scratch pizza and bread maker.
