About Us
At Rise Above Mediation, we believe conflict can be a path to healing, not division. I bring years of experience as a collaborative mediator and have personally navigated divorce and co-parenting, which gives me a deep understanding of the challenges families face.

My Story
As the sun rises over the Colorado mountains, it reminds me that every day holds the possibility of renewal. My name is Joy Thompson, and I created Rise Above Mediation with that same belief at heart: even in life’s hardest seasons, we can rise above conflict and discover a path forward.
​
My journey—both personal and professional—has given me a deep understanding of how challenging family transitions can be. I’ve walked alongside children, parents, and community members facing uncertainty, and I know how important it is to have a safe space where voices are heard and respect is honored. That is the foundation of my work as a mediator and supervised parenting professional.
​
Here, I combine years of experience in family advocacy with my own perspective as someone who has navigated divorce and co-parenting. My goal is to offer families the compassion, structure, and guidance they need to move from conflict toward resolution, from fear toward peace, and from division toward connection.
