FAMILY THERAPY
Families seek our services when the
atmosphere at home becomes overwhelming, chaotic, angry, and
disconnected.
Our
family therapy services aim to improve the
quality of family life through nurturing, supportive therapy.
There are many transitions in the family life cycle that present
challenges (having children, adolescent and teen years, aging parents,
illnesses, loss, divorce, financial struggles), and families can often
get stuck with one or more member, causing extreme distress and
symptomatic behaviors.
Our approach to family therapy looks at the family as a whole. Our
clinicians are trained to identify the dysfunctional interactional
patterns of the family. We look at the current structure of the family
to see how it is organized, and misaligned.
We aim to create a healthy hierarchy where the parents are united in
their parenting approach and provide consistent rules and expectations
for children to follow.
We help parents set boundaries around giving, and teaching
responsibility. We help parents listen to the needs and wants of their
children without judgment, criticism, and stonewalling. We aim to
restore children’s faith and trust in their parents’ ability to be
responsive.
We help create connection, trust, and safety within the family system
to foster parents’, own ability to successfully navigate life’s
challenges and transitions.
