Jodie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting individuals, families, and communities through life’s messiest transitions—especially where families, trauma, and tough decisions meet. She brings a grounded, relational approach to mediation, drawing from decades of work in social work, teaching, and systems navigation locally, nationally and internationally.  With a soft spot for truth-telling and repair, Jodie knows that separation is rarely what people hoped for—but that it doesn’t have to mean rupture. She helps people face the unimaginable with clarity, courage, and care—especially when kids are involved.

She has completed training in basic and family mediation and remains actively engaged in learning that nurtures justice, accountability, and repair.

I graduated from Creighton Law School in May of 2022 then took a brief personal leave before entering the work force at the beginning of the 2023 year.

My main practice areas are family law and juvenile law but I also practice in criminal law defense.

I have a bachelor degree in Business Information Systems Management & a Master of Science degree in Human Relations. I am a Mental Health Practitioner with 22 years of experience; working witch military members, schools, correctional facilities, community agencies and in private practice. I have been meditating since 2023 and have experience with small claims and parenting plans.

Nicole L. Drozd is a skilled mediator and conflict resolution specialist with a strong legal background. She earned her Master of Science in Negotiation and Conflict Resolution from Creighton School of Law in 2019, equipping her with deep expertise in dispute resolution.

As the Family Mediation Coordinator at the Nebraska Mediation Center, Nicole helps families navigate complex conflicts. Her training includes a 30-hour mediation program (March 2024), a 30-hour Family Mediation program (October 2024), and 12 hours of Special Education Mediation training (February 2025), strengthening her ability to resolve disputes across various settings.

Through the Nebraska Mediation Center, she mediates small claims cases, parenting plans, and truancy cases while facilitating pre-hearing conferences.

Committed to fostering understanding and equitable solutions, Nicole continues to advance her mediation expertise, helping individuals and families overcome challenges and reach fair resolutions.

One of the reasons why I want to be a trained mediator is because of my position as a legal assistant. I have worked for an attorney specializing in family and juvenile law for the past 16 years. This attorney was a board member with the mediation center during its transitional years and during that time, I witnessed the beginning of what is now the Nebraska Mediation Center. Because it is our office protocol for the assistant assigned to the case to sit in on appointments, I am able to listen to the client and the attorney discuss the parenting plan, and then draft the plan with the attorney. This familiarity with parenting plans is very beneficial to my role as a mediator. I have enjoyed my training experience and participating in mediation sessions. It is very gratifying to see parents realize that they can establish their own parenting times with their children and make plans for holidays and birthdays in a less stressful environment. I look forward to helping many more families in this very meaningful process.

As a retired Lincoln Public School Administrator and teacher, my past roles provided many opportunities to act as an unbiased third party; which included using listening skills, probing to uncover facts, facilitating problem solving, maintaining confidentiality, and writing a variety of plans. While participating in Family Mediation, there have been a variety of decisions for the Parenting Plans that naturally revolve around school. I have a high comfort level for asking questions and doing reality testing in order to have a plan that is best for the children in the family. I have appreciated the three Supervising Mediators that worked with me during my apprenticeship experience. They provided great modeling of co-mediation skills and valuable feedback to me. I believe this experience confirmed that mediation at The Mediation Center is important and something I am committed to doing.
