Welcome. I’m a professional mediator based in Troy, New York, offering affordable and confidential mediation services for families, divorcing couples, and workplaces. Whether you’re navigating a legal separation, preparing for an uncontested divorce, or facing challenges at work, I provide a safe and respectful environment for productive conversations and decision-making.

I work with people across Troy, Albany, Latham, and the Capital District, supporting them through conflict with clarity, care, and cost-effective solutions.

Troy is a close-knit city with blend of history, innovation and creative spirit. Situated on the Hudson River in Upstate New York, Troy is home to creative professionals, educators, union workers, tech entrepreneurs, and families of all kinds. It’s a place where relationships matter -- in neighborhoods, families, and workplaces.

Whether you're separating after a long marriage, encountering difficulties in co-parenting, experiencing communication breakdown within the family or losing time and money due to workplace conflict, mediation offers a private, lower-cost alternative to litigation. I offer services in-person in Troy, NY, or remotely across New York State. Evening and weekend appointments are also available.

Let's Connect
Caroline Melkonian Mediation My Approach

I bring a calm, respectful, and practical approach to every case. I help people:

Clarify what matters most to them Understand each other’s perspectives Identify solutions that feel fair and workable Make informed and confident decisions

I draw on my training and experience as a neutral third party.  I do not take sides, offer legal advice, or impose outcomes. Instead, I support people to reach realistic and durable agreements in their own way and in their own time.

Family and Divorce Mediation Services

I help people make clear and lasting agreements related to:

  • Uncontested divorce (property division, parenting plans, child support, etc.)

  • Legal separation (including financial and living arrangements)

  • Parenting plans (living arrangement for the children, holidays, etc)

  • Co-parenting communication and scheduling (pickup/dropoff expectations, sharing information about the children, etc.)

  • Elder care and adult family decision-making (living arrangements, care plans, etc.)

Many clients come to me seeking an affordable divorce or a legal separation agreement without having to appear in court. Mediation allows you to remain in control of the outcome, reduce stress, and save money — all while maintaining privacy.

Workplace and Community Conflict

In addition to family and divorce mediation, I also work with:

  • Workplace teams and leadership

  • HR professionals and employees

  • Unions and management

  • Neighbors or community groups

Whether you're navigating a personnel issue, communication breakdown, or performance concern, mediation can restore trust and help everyone move forward.
