Eric Hodgson, founder of Hodgson Mediation, brings more than 25 years of experience in conflict resolution to the table.

He’s worked alongside respected ADR expert Sylvia Skratek, Ph.D., and completed foundational and advanced mediation training with Sequoia Stalder, Esq., through Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations and the New York Center for Interpersonal Development. Eric continued his education by adding couples mediation to his practice, which he attended through the Center for Mediation and Training in Manhattan, NY with reknowned couples and family mediator and therapist Dr,. Ken Neuman.
Eric's hands-on experience includes years of successfully negotiationg agreements between divorcing couples and alternatively helping couples stay together and strengthen their relationships through the art of "talking it out" without it being therapy.

Whether you're facing difficult decisions or simply want to improve your ability to communicate, Eric is here to help you move forward with confidence and care.
The Mediation Experience
Not Sure If Mediation Is Right for You? That’s Okay.
At Hodgson Mediation, Eric understands that the idea of sitting down to talk things out—especially during a stressful time—can feel uncertain or even overwhelming. Mediation isn’t about forcing agreement or sweeping issues under the rug. It’s about creating a space where both people are heard, where emotions and practical concerns can be addressed with respect, and where real progress is possible.
Eric's approach is calm, structured, and completely voluntary. Whether you’re looking to avoid a drawn-out legal battle or simply want help navigating difficult conversations, Eric's here to support you. From uncontested divorce to ongoing relationship challenges, he'll work with you to find practical, workable solutions that fit your unique situation.
If you’re unsure, that’s perfectly normal. A single session can help you get a sense of the process—no pressure, just a chance to explore a different way forward.
