Compassionate Mediation for Life's Most Difficult Conversations
When family relationships are strained by difficult decisions about elder care, divorce, custody, inheritance, or life changes, finding common ground can feel impossible. As a TMCA Credentialed Mediator serving Texas families and businesses, I help navigate these challenging conversations with dignity, respect, and practical solutions that preserve relationships — without the cost of litigation.
2026 Credentialed Mediator
Texas Mediator Credentialing Association (TMCA). Lynnette Nadeau meets the professional training and experience standards required for credentialing under Texas law.
I specialize in helping families and individuals resolve conflicts without the emotional and financial cost of litigation. Every mediation is confidential, voluntary, and designed to find solutions that work for everyone involved.
When families disagree about care decisions for aging parents, emotions run high. I help siblings and family members navigate difficult conversations about living arrangements, medical care, financial support, and caregiving responsibilities — finding solutions that honor your loved one's wishes while addressing everyone's concerns.
Inheritance conflicts can tear families apart. Whether it's disagreements over property distribution, trust administration, or perceived unfairness in a will, mediation offers a confidential way to resolve these issues while preserving family relationships — without costly probate court battles.
As a TMCA Credentialed Mediator, I am authorized to help separating couples and families reach agreements on divorce, child custody, visitation schedules, and child support — without court battles. Mediation keeps decisions in your hands, reduces conflict, and protects children from unnecessary stress.
Family conflicts don't always fit neat categories. Whether it's multi-generational disagreements, conflicts over shared property, financial disputes between relatives, or other family tensions, I provide neutral ground where everyone can be heard and work toward practical solutions.
Professional mediation services at a fraction of the cost of litigation, with reduced rates available for those in need.

I believe access to skilled mediation should be affordable and accessible.
Mediation is a fraction of the cost of litigation — and the value goes far beyond money. In mediation, you decide the outcome instead of leaving it up to the courts, the whole process can be completed in less time than litigation, and it inflicts far less emotional damage on litigants who may have to continue working together.
I offer reduced fees, on a case-by-case basis, for those with fewer resources.

Mediation is a structured yet flexible process designed to help you reach resolution efficiently. Here's what to expect when you work with Common Ground Mediation.
We start with a free consultation to discuss your situation, explain how mediation works, answer your questions, and determine if mediation is the right approach. We discuss logistics, timeline, and fees.
Before the session, I meet separately with each party to understand their perspective, gather relevant information, and establish ground rules. This ensures everyone comes prepared for productive conversation.
All parties come together in a neutral, confidential setting. I facilitate conversation, help identify common ground, explore options, and guide the group toward mutually acceptable solutions. Sessions typically last 2 to 4 hours.
When resolution is reached, I help document the agreement in writing. This creates a clear record of what was decided and ensures everyone understands their commitments. Once signed, the agreement is final.
