Arnold Family Mediation Services in Middle Tennessee

About Us

Arnold Family Mediation

As a native of Middle Tennessee, I commenced my journey in the law profession by starting as a legal receptionist and legal assistant, becoming certified as a paralegal and becoming trained and listed as a Tennessee Supreme Court Civil and Family Mediator.  I obtained a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and later received a Doctorate Degree in Family Mediation/Conflict Resolution. 

Arnold Family Mediation has provided a supportive space for Middle Tennessee families navigating divorce. We turn complex transitions into growth opportunities through expert dialogue and dignified resolutions. Our goal is to honor your history while building a peaceful foundation for your future.

When away from the office, I enjoy time with family, grandchildren, time on the farm and enjoying nature.  I also assist my husband with his DJ entertainment business enjoying karaoke, weddings, birthday parties and corporate events.  

Amy R. Arnold, Ph.D., MMFT, CDC, leverages over twenty years of  marriage and family matters experience as a dedicated family mediator, relationship consultant, and divorce coach. Combining professional depth with genuine compassion, she provides the clarity and strategic support necessary for families to navigate transitions. Her mission is to guide you toward a future defined by dignity, resolution, and renewed confidence.

I provide services for clients experiencing divorce, conflict within a family, parent/child, step-family issues and unmarried parents, post-divorce issues requiring a revised Parenting Plan, family business relationships and/or dissolution of business, and conflict experienced in probate/estate matters.  I have specialized mediation training in Elder Care and Domestic Violence.  Elder Care mediation assists the elderly and their families in making decisions regarding financial concerns, lifestyle change due to death of a spouse/partner, decline in health, limitations of independence, safety concerns and long-term healthcare decisions.
