About The Elledge Group

Trish Elledge, Mediator

Trish Elledge -- an expert in the field of interpersonal communication, conflict management strategies, and mediation -- weaves straight-forward, reality-based advice into every aspect of her work. With over 21 years experience as a professional mediator, trainer, coach, facilitator, and designer of dispute resolution systems, real-world insight and examples help to dramatically illustrate her message. Having mediated nearing 5000 cases involving well over 10,000 emotionally charged individuals and positioned legal representatives, she has had the opportunity to apply, practice and experiment with communication and conflict resolution theories and techniques that most trainers and consultants can only speak about. She knows what works and when; she knows what doesn’t and when; and she has the expertise to understand why. Her cases have spanned topics from neighborhood trash piles to complex legal cases.

Libby Peele, Associate Mediator

Specializing in the areas of divorce, workplace, and business mediation, Libby Peele has been active as a professional mediator for over five years since she obtained her 40-hour Certificate of Completion in Basic Mediation Training from The Elledge Group, Inc., an international mediation training organization based in Colorado. She has also received certificates of completion in various areas of advanced trainings including divorce, parent/teen, and community mediation.

Having mediated hundreds of cases, Libby has found that her former specialized training and practice in de-escalation and stress management techniques serves her especially well when mediating high conflict divorce, HOA, and workplace disputes. "The skills I have learned in my mediation trainings serve as a perfect complement to my educational background (business and human resource management) and my professional experience (criminal justice, credit and finance, and customer service)," states Libby.

Libby serves a Lead Mediator for the Douglas County Court Small Claims Mediation Program, which is under the design and direction of Elledge Group Court Services, and holds Professional Mediator status with the Colorado Council of Mediators and Mediation Organizations (CCMO). By regularly attending law-based substantive trainings and advanced skill-based workshops, Libby strives to keep her knowledge current and her skills fresh. When unwinding from the rigors of daily conflict, which accompanies any professional mediator, Libby can be seen volunteering with Douglas County Schools and the Denver Dumb Friends League.
