About Anna Sciotti
Family Law Mediator | Founder, My Fair Mediation
I’ve spent more than 13 years working in negotiation, conflict resolution, and communication. Over that time, I’ve learned that difficult conversations are rarely as straightforward as they first appear.
Two people can describe the same situation and genuinely believe they’re describing two different realities. One remembers what was said. The other remembers what was understood. Both may be certain the expectations were clear, even though neither walked away with quite the same understanding.
And sometimes the disagreement everyone keeps returning to isn’t even the decision that needs to be made.
That’s what interests me about conflict: not simply what people disagree about, but how they arrived at such different understandings of the same situation.
I founded My Fair Mediation around the belief that the way people work through decisions deserves as much attention as the decisions themselves. When conversations become difficult, structure can help people examine the information, assumptions, and practical considerations that might otherwise get lost.
I’m not interested in deciding who’s right or convincing people to agree. I’m interested in creating the conditions for a conversation that examines the actual issues, including the ones that aren’t immediately obvious.
Experience
Anna brings more than 13 years of professional experience in negotiation, conflict resolution, communication, and navigating complex conversations to the mediation table.
Throughout her professional career, Anna has worked with competing priorities, differing interests, and situations where decisions carry consequences beyond the immediate conversation. This work has required her to consider not only what people are seeking to accomplish, but also the information, responsibilities, and practical limitations that shape what is possible.
Negotiation and conflict resolution are rarely exercises in finding a single perfect answer. They involve weighing alternatives, understanding the implications of different choices, and recognizing that a solution that addresses one concern may create another. The ability to work through those considerations develops through experience, particularly when circumstances are complicated and the people involved have different priorities.
Over time, Anna has learned the importance of preparation, careful evaluation, and knowing when a conversation needs greater specificity. Broad intentions may provide a starting point, but meaningful decisions often depend on details: who is responsible for what, what information is available, which expectations are realistic, and what happens when circumstances change.
That professional foundation is complemented by her academic education in communication and conflict and specialized family mediation training. Together, they inform her understanding of how to organize difficult discussions, examine practical considerations, and maintain a process in which participants can evaluate decisions for themselves.
Anna brings this combination of experience and formal preparation to My Fair Mediation, recognizing that the quality of a conversation depends not only on what is discussed, but on whether the important questions receive the attention they deserve.
Working with MFM
We begin with a complimentary 25-minute Mediation Orientation on Zoom with both participants. It’s an opportunity to meet me, learn how the process works, discuss the topics you hope to address, and ask questions before deciding whether to move forward.
You are not expected to have everything prepared or figured out before starting.
The process is designed to help you understand what comes next.

Approach
I believe family conflict isn’t a battle to be won. Separation, divorce, and other family transitions often involve difficult decisions that deserve clarity, respect, and structure. My role is not to judge, take sides, or dictate decisions. As a neutral mediator, I provide an organized, respectful setting where both participants can speak openly while remaining responsible for their own decisions.
I believe the way conversations are conducted matters just as much as the decisions being discussed. That’s why I approach mediation with attention to the information, expectations, and practical considerations that influence how people understand a disagreement and what they believe is possible.
Both participants are given space to speak, ask questions, share information, and fully discuss the topics they identify as important. When conversations become difficult or start going in circles, I provide structure that helps keep the discussion moving without taking decision-making away from the participants.
The purpose isn’t to reach an agreement at any cost. It’s to make room for a meaningful examination of the issues, whether that leads to shared decisions, identifies unanswered questions, or clarifies what remains unresolved.

Don’t take my word for it.
The best way to understand how I approach mediation is to have a conversation. Schedule a complimentary 25-minute orientation to learn about the process, ask questions, and see whether mediation may be a good fit for your situation.
It’s more than trust
The MFM Philosophy
How decisions are made matters.
At My Fair Mediation, we believe family mediation is about more than reaching an agreement. It’s about creating a space where difficult conversations can happen with structure, clarity, and purpose.
Family transitions rarely involve just one decision. There are finances to discuss, schedules to coordinate, responsibilities to define, and practical details that don’t always fit neatly on paper. And while two people may share the same goal, they may have very different ideas about how to get there.
Our approach is participant-led and mediator-guided.
The participants remain responsible for their decisions. The mediator provides the structure to help identify what needs to be discussed, explore different perspectives, clarify available options, and work through areas of disagreement.
We don’t approach mediation with the expectation that everyone must agree, compromise equally, or leave feeling the same way about every decision.
Sometimes progress means reaching an agreement. Sometimes it means identifying what remains unresolved, understanding where perspectives differ, or recognizing that additional information is needed.
Clarity matters, even when agreement isn’t possible.
We also recognize that family decisions don’t exist in isolation. A parenting schedule that looks reasonable on paper still has to account for school mornings, work schedules, transportation, and the occasional Tuesday when absolutely nothing goes according to plan.
That’s why our conversations focus not only on what participants want to decide, but also on what those decisions mean in everyday life.
Our role isn’t to determine the right outcome for a family. It’s to provide a neutral, organized process in which participants can have meaningful conversations and make informed decisions for themselves.
Because the goal isn’t simply to finish the conversation. It’s to make the conversation count.

When Mediation Might Not Be the Right Fit
Mediation is not appropriate in every situation. If there are concerns involving intimidation, coercion, or safety, those issues are addressed before mediation proceeds, and alternative options may be discussed.
