My story
At ResolveTogether Mediation, the belief is simple: even the most challenging conflicts can be transformed into opportunities for understanding, collaboration, and resolution. That belief didn't come from a textbook — it came from 25 years of sitting across the table from people in some of the most difficult moments of their professional lives.
As a global HR executive and former Chief People Officer, April McCalmont spent her career guiding leaders, teams, and organizations through complex conversations and high-stakes decisions. Whether navigating workplace disputes, coaching executives through organizational change, or helping employees and managers find workable solutions, she built her reputation on one thing: the ability to help people find common ground.
"I've spent 25 years in rooms where people were stuck — and I've learned that what keeps them stuck is rarely the facts of the dispute. It's the assumptions, the emotions, and the cognitive patterns underneath them."
Building on that foundation, April pursued formal mediation training, met the mandatory educational requirements to mediate in the State of Texas, and earned her Credentialed Mediator designation with the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association (TMCA) — a professional credential from the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association.
She actively volunteers as a mediator with Dispute Resolution Centers across Texas, including Dallas, Fort Bend, Houston, and Central Texas — bringing that practical, case-by-case experience back to her private practice every day.
What makes April different isn't just her credentials. It's the combination of formal mediation training, decades of executive HR leadership, and a background in industrial-organizational psychology — the science of how people think, decide, and behave under pressure. That combination allows her to approach every conflict with both structure and humanity, ensuring that every voice is heard and every agreement is something people can actually live with.
What sets ResolveTogether apart
Most mediators come from law. April's background in I/O Psychology means she understands the behavioral science of conflict — how cognitive biases, attribution errors, and emotional escalation affect negotiation — and how to navigate them strategically.
As a former CPO, April has navigated thousands of difficult conversations at the executive level. That real-world experience translates directly to the mediation table — she's not learning how to manage conflict on your time.
As a non-attorney mediator, the only goal is resolution. Flat session rates mean transparent costs upfront, and no incentive to prolong the process. What you see on the rates page is what you pay.

The approach
Most disputes aren't really about the facts. They're about how each side perceives the facts — filtered through assumptions, past experiences, and cognitive patterns that operate below the surface of the conversation.
April's I/O Psychology background gives her a unique ability to recognize these patterns early and help parties work through them — rather than around them.
