Rachel Alexander

Founding the Alexander Mediation Group in 2008, Rachel approaches divorce by prioritizing the integrity and well-being of the individuals and families she serves. Rachel’s extensive training in mediation and related disciplines, as well as her own experience of divorce, inspires her compassion for others. Her approach is shaped by humility, warmth, and a commitment to humanizing the legal process. She is truly on her clients' side. Concentrating on mediation from the beginning of her legal career, Rachel participated in Cardozo’s highly acclaimed alternative dispute resolution curriculum. Her mediation training commenced with a year-long clinic and continued with multiple mediation certification trainings in New York and New Jersey, advanced studies, workshops, and conferences. Informed by her studies at Columbia University School of Social Work, Rachel brings her knowledge of subjects including family systems, early childhood development, personality formation and disorders, and the effects of crisis and trauma to her practice. The therapeutic and psychological elements of mediation are integral in her work with families. Rachel is an avid student of these complementary disciplines, completing a two-year certification training in Focusing-Oriented Therapy from the International Focusing Institute.
