B eth D. Danehy has been providing mediation and conflict resolution services since 1996. She holds a Master of Arts degree in Conflict Resolution from the McGregor School of Antioch University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Richmond, VA. An Advanced Practitioner member of the Family Section of the Association of Conflict Resolution (ACR), Beth completed the ACR approved family and divorce mediation training, including training for Mediation in Cases of Domestic Violence and additional training in interpersonal and institutional conflict management. As part of her graduate and undergraduate work, she has studied conflict resolution theory, theology, ethics, and human and organizational psychology.

"Conflict is the result of a loss of connection in relationship. I help people resolve conflict by facilitating greater understanding and connection between people." Beth D. Danehy, MA is an Accredited Member and a board member of the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation. She serves on the board of the Collaborative Law Association of the Rochester Area (CLARA), on the Advisory Board of ACT For the Children (Assisting Children Through Transition) and was elected to the board of the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence in July 2008. Referring professionals say... "As a psychologist, I have come to learn that how couples separate is often the best predictor of the quality of their relationship after the divorce. When the separation process can successfully move a couple from contention to consensus, from mud-slinging to problem solving, both people can begin to heal and renew their faith in relationships. In my opinion, mediation is the best process for helping couples move on and find their separate life paths. Professional mediation requires enormous skill, training, empathy and patience. Beth Danehy brings all of these qualities and more to her mediation work. She goes beyond simply helping couples frame agreements: She tries to help them heal the pain they bring to the process so that they can truly begin the rest of their lives. I have referred a number of my patients to Beth, with excellent results. In fact, she is the only mediator in Rochester to whom I regularly refer. Beth's tact, intelligence, and trustworthiness make her an ideal mediator, and I am just so grateful to have her as a resource for my patients." Aaron E. Black, Ph.D, Clinical Psychologist "Beth Danehy is a mediator with excellent credentials and a wealth of experience in conflict resolution. She uniquely couples acumen with compassion in ways that foster respect, and creative resolution of the conflict. Those who have been privileged to have been in her presence as mediator find her validating and encouraging to each party involved, while reaching agreements that are just, fair and enlightening. Ms. Danehy is a professional woman of integrity and intelligence, who is intrinsically a mediator." Rev. Susan Shafer "My compliments on a very well thought out, comprehensive agreement. My client was very satisfied with the mediation process. It met her goals and expectations. (The client) was very well prepared and informed...I shared my comments and observations with her and legal fees were kept to a minimum, since I was starting with an informed client and a good solid document." David R. Murch Attorney and Counselor at Law Murch & Wise, PC "Beth has an amazing presence and balance of influence. With her intelligence, skill and purity of motive, Beth can transform misunderstanding into a learning experience for all involved. Beth brings a neutral perspective to the Collaborative table with a gentle invitation for us to question our assumptions, opening up possibilities for deeper dialogue and acceptable resolutions." Suzanne Brunsting Collaborative Attorney, Mediator, Settlement Advocate "I have learned more about conflict resolution from watching Beth work with clients than from any book I have ever read. Beth brings magic into the room!" Michael Hagelberg Collaborative Attorney "Beth has a way of staying truly neutral while providing the space and support necessary for someone to identify and advocate for their own needs. She possesses an innate sense of curiosity that manifests itself in gentle, non-threatening guidance for those searching for answers. And she does this while recognizing in herself as well as others that sometimes we don't have the answers, and that is okay, too. " Donna Maier Collaborative Fianancial Professional Clients say... "Beth was very professional and handled the entire mediation process in just a matter of weeks. Without her assistance, this matter may have ended up in a lawsuit and taken years to settle." "Thank you for your assistance. It was the only thing that helped." "Thank you for such a useful and productive service. Beth Danehy is well qualified and capable of handling the process." "Beth did a great job... was very perceptive in a very difficult situation. Thank you, Beth." "We would never have gotten the issues across so clearly had it not been for the mediation process which keeps the focus on the real issue at hand. We are pleased with the agreement that has been reached." |
