​

For several decades, Dr. Fox-Petersen has been mediating, consulting, coaching, facilitating, and supporting individuals, couples, teens, families, parents, small groups, leaders and other influencers, organizations, businesses, and schools in conflict transformation, teaming, deep listening, compassionate witnessing, repairing harm to relationships, restorative approaches, and creating and restoring compassionate connections among her clients.
