Introducing Me: Your Dedicated Mediator and Advocate for Peaceful Resolutions

Hello and welcome to my blog! I’m thrilled you’re here, and I’d love to introduce myself, my story, and the passion behind my mediation business.

I’m the face behind everything at Neutral Voice Mediation—a small business, made up of one person: me! I handle it all, from marketing and scheduling to social media content and client care. My goal is to offer a personalized, attentive experience for every client, so you feel truly supported from start to finish.

I was born on a military base in Germany and grew up as the daughter of two Army veterans. My father, born and raised in Trinidad, and my mother, from Los Angeles and raised in Tijuana, Mexico, met in the Army and fell in love, later having me. My upbringing was strict—no parties or after-school activities for me, and my summers were spent studying under my dad's watchful eye. But it wasn’t all strictness. Growing up around the world gave me a unique perspective on life. I met people from different backgrounds, incomes, and cultures, and experienced the richness of diverse cultural practices, foods, and traditions.

While it was challenging always being "the new girl" in school, looking back, I realize how much it shaped me. Moving around taught me resilience, adaptability, and—most importantly—how to be open-minded. I don’t judge or dismiss others because their way of life or beliefs are different from mine. In fact, my upbringing is a big part of why I’m so passionate about being a mediator today. I believe that understanding and appreciating different perspectives is crucial for helping people find common ground, especially when emotions are running high during divorce or co-parenting discussions.

Before I became a mediator, I worked in both medical malpractice and personal injury law firms. After nearly 10 years in the legal field, I saw firsthand the toll that long, drawn-out court battles could take on families. I also witnessed many mediations where the mediator wasn’t truly neutral. That experience lit a fire in me—I wanted to be a mediator who clients could trust to be unbiased, someone who genuinely cares about their family’s future.

Now, as a certified mediator with two certification courses under my belt, I continue to take additional classes and attend events to ensure I’m constantly evolving for my clients. I’m proud to offer **remote mediation** to clients all over the world, specializing in detailed co-parenting plans. My mission is to help co-parents create a plan that truly works for both of them, centered around the well-being of their children. I also offer flexible scheduling because I understand that busy parents can’t always fit things into a 9-to-5 timeframe.

I live in Dallas, TX with my amazing husband and four dogs—Oreo, Butters, Kilo, and Echo—who are my absolute world. They’re my fur-babies, and just like you, I know what it’s like to juggle different priorities and responsibilities. I also know how important it is to feel heard, respected, and understood. That’s what I bring to my mediation practice—a commitment to helping you feel comfortable, safe, and confident as we work together to resolve your issues.

Thank you for getting to know me! I look forward to helping you create peaceful, lasting solutions through mediation. Whether you’re working on a co-parenting plan or resolving a landlord-tenant conflict, I’m here to guide you with care and expertise.

Warmly,

Nikkita Torres
