Family Therapy

Issues affecting individuals can deeply impact other family members and the family as a whole. Sometimes families need a little extra support and improved methods of communication, while at other times families must deal with rather challenging subjects such as divorce, illness, death, moving, mental health issues, financial strain, academic struggles, among many other things. Family therapy nurtures change and fosters improved relationships among members, no matter what hardship a family may be facing, leaving each member with excellent mental health and a feeling that the value of his/her family is greater than the sum of its parts.

Family therapy may take varying forms.  At times the family as a whole may meet with their therapist, while at other times s/he may meet with specific individuals or just the children. Each week's activities are custom-tailored to meet the needs of each unique family, the goals of which are to identify patterns that cause distress and then to develop and implement changes that modify the way a family operates. Dramatic improvements are typically seen very quickly, as small changes in family dynamics have meaningful impact on how members interact and treat each other.
