Erik Feig

As the founder of Feig Mediation Group, based in Bethesda, MD, Erik specializes in helping parents and families through pivotal life decisions and transitions. His nationwide practice offers support to parents, co-parents, and families, especially those with children or adults who have special needs or are neurodivergent.

His mediation approach aims to reduce stress, de-escalate conflict, and unlock opportunities to move forward beyond the sticking points that impede progress. For Erik, it’s not just about resolving immediate disputes and disagreements; it’s about establishing a foundation for ongoing, more positive cooperation and communication, whether parenting happens under one roof or co-parenting is across separate homes.

As a parent in a neurodiverse family himself, Erik understands the complexities that come with raising children with additional needs. This experience deeply informs his work and fuels his commitment to fostering empathetic and constructive dialogues.

Commitment and Perspective: Erik’s mission is to transform parent and family conflicts into more constructive, collaborative paths to resolutions. He offers a real-time structured support system for parents that facilitates more productive engagement, helping them align on decisions vital for their children’s and family’s well-being.

Serving Diverse Family Situations: Every family’s story is unique, as are their needs and challenges.

Erik mediates a broad range of situations and dynamics, including working with parents who are together but not aligned, navigating the entire separation and divorce process, addressing big and small co-parenting disagreements, updating parenting plans post-divorce, managing blended family and step-family dynamics, resolving adult sibling and extended family disputes, and facilitating elder care decisions. He helps families create individualized solutions that emphasize forward planning and future-focused dialogue.

Skills & Expertise: As a Co-Parenting Specialist and Disability-Informed Professional trained in high-conflict situations and dynamics, he keeps his clients focused on the welfare and needs of not only the individuals but also of the entire family.

A lifelong learner who believes strongly that every day offers opportunities to learn and expand how he may better serve the families he works with, Erik is a member and contributor to two professional discussion and learning groups, including through the Mosten Guthrie Academy, where he shares best practices with other leaders in the field. He is a member mediator on the rosters of Collaborative Dispute Resolution Professionals of Maryland and Collaborative Professionals of Baltimore, is a volunteer mediator with the Mediation and Conflict Resolution Center of Howard County, and is on the roster of approved mediators for the Circuit Court of the City of Baltimore, MD.

If you’re seeking support for a more cooperative and compassionate future for your family, Erik invites you to connect and explore how he can support you in laying a positive foundation for the future you and your children deserve.
