Liesel Darby
Divorce Mediator and Certified Divorce Coach, ADRDC Intentional Divorce SolutionsBiography
Liesel Darby is currently a divorce mediator and certified divorce coach (ADRDC). She has a background in mental health counseling (LPC), including addictions counseling and child/family therapy, and is also a certified life coach. This background, coupled with her own divorce, gives her the perfect experience to assist those going through divorce to find clarity and make decisions aligned with their values. Her current position as divorce mediator and divorce coach at Intentional Divorce Solutions (with Leah Hadley, CDFA), allows her to help couples make agreements that are best for their family, modeling conflict management strategies and setting the tone for a more amicable coparenting relationship going forward. As a certified divorce coach, Liesel offers individual coaching and divorce support groups. Individual divorce coaching is designed to help clients manage emotions so they can make grounded decisions as they go through the divorce process and keep moving forward into the next chapter. Support groups are important in letting clients know that they are not alone as they go through this life-changing process.
Liesel is a life-long learner. Most recently she became certified as an Alternative Dispute Resolution Divorce Coach through Divorce Coaches Academy. She received her divorce mediation training through the Ohio Supreme Court. Life Coaching certification is through Coach Training Alliance. She earned her Bachelor of Science from Kent State University and went on to earn a M.Ed. in Counseling from the University of Toledo, and a M.A. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of New Haven. She is also trying to learn Italian on Babbel, but it’s slow going. She likes to read murder mysteries, play the piano, and is working on a novel (also slow going). If she has to exercise, it tends to be a long walk or yoga, and she loves to go dancing with friends. Currently she shares her home in N. Royalton with two elderly cats, whom she loves dearly.
These professionals can help you and your spouse choose a guided, proven and court-approved method for ending your marriage and settling parenting issues. Aside from lowering costs, a non-litigation approach is more likely to produce a more livable future for you and your separated family.
