about us

For over a decade, Dr. Nelson de Ramirez watched the same pattern repeat in families moving through divorce and custody disputes: children surrounded by professionals, yet poorly served by them. 

Each child often carried multiple providers who never coordinated — “over-therapied” kids, exhausted by appointments, with families draining money and seeing little progress.

The deeper gap was that almost no one could bridge all of it — the psychological needs of the children, the mediation skills to move a family forward, and the legal demands of court-involved work.

Dr. de Ramirez built her career to close that gap. Her training spans Mediation & Conflict Management at Harvard Law School, a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology, a Master’s in Counseling Psychology, and undergraduate study in Clinical Psychology and Criminology & Law — a rare combination that lets her operate fluently across the clinical, mediation, and legal worlds at once. Family-law attorneys and the courts know her as someone who documents to the standard counsel expects and moves matters toward resolution rather than prolonging them.

That fluency is the foundation of Cornell Custody Solutions. For every matter, she takes the single appropriate role — Special Master or Parent Coordinator, co-parenting therapist, reunification therapist, or court-ordered therapist — with clear boundaries and a consistent, child-centered standard. No fragmented team, no growing invoice: one trusted expert who sees the entire landscape, protects your privacy, and stays focused on a measurable path forward.

Discretion is built into every engagement. Conversations, sessions, and records are held to the highest standard of confidentiality, with counsel and the court involved only as required.

Whether your matter is private or court-ordered, the goal is the same: a resolution that holds up for everyone involved — resolved with rigor, discretion, and care, especially for the children.
