They only have a few cookie cutter options that they have to offer and if you dont fit in any of those theyre pretty incompetent in helping to guide separation of assets and kids custody.Also one mediator went on and on about cases that have nothing to do with my situation. Just milking the clock so they can stack up on the charges, while the other has a tendency to take up more of a judge role than a mediator.

Not too smooth of an experience. Steve can sometimes stir more trouble than attempt to solve. Patrice is great and more neutral.

Dr. Garver has a strong passion for her field of clinical psychology. She has had many years of experience working with kids, adolescents and adults. She demonstrates a great work ethic and she has a warm and friendly personality. I highly recommend her!

I have known Dr Patrice Garver in a professional capacity for over 15 years. We have collaborated on numerous cases together and frequently refer children, adolescents and families to each other. She is my number one choice when seeking a referral for an evaluation or assessment on a complex situation with a child or adolescent. Her reports are thorough, well written and extremely useful for clinicians and parents in developing treatment goals and strategies.Dr. Garver is an excellent clinician with an innate ability to evaluate the needs of families she works with and is insightful in developing appropriate interventions that are relevant to her clients. She has had extensive training in treating children and teens who struggle with loss, trauma and divorce and is highly respected in the mental health community in the Washington DC metropolitan area.Her ethical foundation and follow through are excellent and she is a team player who sets high standards for herself. She is one of the most accomplished professionals I have ever known and her passion and devotion to this field of work is obvious and apparent to anyone who has the opportunity to work with her.

Dr. Garver has so much experience and training, it really makes a difference! She has a passion for helping people through the difficulties of divorce, especially knowing how to help kids. She and Steve are very ethical and a good team.
