Craig B. Grether, Ph.D. operates a Carlsbad mediation practice on Salk Avenue under California psychology license PSY18336 and Qualified Medical Evaluator certification #146230. The practice's Structured Separation model — a mediation framework for couples not yet ready for formal dissolution — integrates clinical psychology into the negotiation process, occupying a distinct niche from document-preparation services such as Leave Strong Divorce Services by producing enforceable memoranda of understanding backed by behavioral assessment. Credentialed as a Qualified Mediator under the California Dispute Resolution Programs Act and registered as a Legal Document Assistant in San Diego County (#NC50), the practice bridges psychology and family law for cases involving custody, elder care, inheritance disputes, and family business dissolution. A Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology from North Carolina State University and a U.S. Public Health Service Fellowship (1970–1972) underpin the clinical side, while Senior Mediator designation on Mediate.com — requiring 500-plus hours of mediation experience — anchors the dispute resolution credentials. Co-parenting plans rooted in developmental psychology produce enforceable written agreements rather than the ongoing therapeutic relationship offered at Kealoha Psychology, Inc. — a distinction that matters when court-admissible documentation is the deliverable. The most complex cases involve multi-party elder care mediations requiring simultaneous assessment of cognitive capacity under California Probate Code Sections 810 through 813, financial exploitation screening, and coordination among multiple adult children with competing conservatorship interests.
