Melissa-Burns-Mediator-Glens-Falls-NY-2I became involved in mediation many years ago, when I began working as an office assistant for Dan. I discussed the benefits of mediation with our clients and discovered that I was truly passionate about helping people through this process.
I continued this work while I pursued and completed a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Business and Technology Management from the State University of New York at Delhi.

After graduation, I took a position as Executive Director for the New York State Council on Divorce Mediation (NYSCDM) and had the pleasure of working with divorce mediators from all over New York State. When that job was finished, I was offered the opportunity to continue working with NYSCDM as a consultant, a position that I held for five years.

During this time, I began my professional career as a divorce mediator. I was trained in mediation under the supervision of the New York State Unified Court system and have been a mediator with Mediation Matters since 2013.
I have taken intensive courses in Family Mediation Training, as well as Agreement Writing, Domestic Violence, and Ethics seminars. I hold a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA) certification. This financial expertise allows me to provide my clients with sound financial information, so they can make informed and well-considered decisions.

I live in Lake George, NY with my husband and two daughters. We love spending our free time outdoors and are avid hikers and skiers. I also volunteer at my children’s schools and devote my free time to supporting local events.
