We help families build on their strengths and develop clear lines of communication. We work with couple's issues and parenting issues. Our staff has experience working with families who are dealing with difficult situations involving aging parents or relatives. Family therapy help a couple avoid separation or divorce. If a couple have decided that separation is inevitable, family work can help minimize stress and help the mother and father work out parenting issues.
Family therapy can be either short or long term.
Some situations can be improved within a few sessions by helping each family member clearly communicate with the others about a particular issue. Other family situations may require an integrated team approach. In this situation, one therapist in our group might see one family member for individual therapy and another therapist in the group would see the family. We also offer parenting workshops for parents of children with disruptive behavior disorders, as well as workshops and parenting classes designed for the parent seeking to develop new skills and polish the old ones. Often, family and friends can help work it out, but sometimes, you need something more.
