Mediation and Consulting
Resolving Family and Workplace Conflict with Compassion, Clarity, and Colorado Integrity
At Stevenson Heywood Mediation & Consulting, we are committed to providing ethical, collaborative, and solution-focused mediation services to families, professionals, and business partners throughout Colorado.
Our Story
Founded by sisters Lizzie Stevenson, LMFT, and Martha Heywood, Stevenson Heywood Mediation & Consulting is more than a business; it’s a family legacy. Born and raised in Colorado as two of nine siblings, Lizzie and Martha bring the wisdom, diplomacy, and lived experience of growing up in a large family to their work. They understand, firsthand, the importance of clear communication, fairness, and long-term harmony.
Their professional paths—one in family systems therapy, the other in executive leadership—have uniquely positioned them to help others navigate interpersonal and business conflicts with both strategy and heart. Just as they learned to resolve conflict around the kitchen table, they now help clients find resolution across boardroom tables, parenting plans, and separation agreements.
​
Disclaimer: Lizzie’s LMFT credential informs her understanding of relational systems, but she does not provide therapy in mediation or through this business.

Martha prioritizes her team and the development of her employees and in doing so, creates high performing teams and deeply engaged employees. In addition to her leadership ability, she is an incredible asset to any company with her quick thinking, creative problem solving, and commitment to always doing what is best for the business."
"Lizzie has been fantastic for my husband and I. She is personable, sympathetic and honest with us. She holds each of us accountable without being judgmental. She has truly been a great help and we will continue to see her. Every time we leave, we feel we have been listened to and have made positive and forward strides. We highly recommend her."
