I'm a licensed Marriage and
Family Therapist
. I've been in private practice, serving women, men and couples for more than 12 years. I work from a Christian world view, and take into account the whole person. The ways in which we neglect self care; the negative and distorted thoughts we entertain; the measure of discontentment, bitterness, guilt or shame we harbor-are factors that impact emotional well-being and the quality of our relationships. Sometimes, it's just life that hits hard and unexpectedly.

Dr. Daryl M Rowe
Psychologist, PhD
Verified

As a Black psychologist, I work at the nexus of challenges unique to African Americans - empowerment, relational effectiveness, and system negotiation - and those connected to them, focusing on marital and
family
relationships.
As a licensed psychologist for the past 37 years, I have worked with adult women and men - young, middle-aged and older - who have struggled with a range of anxiety, mood and relational issues. My particular focus now is working with couples - married, separated or pre-marital - to strengthen relationship skills and sustain healthy marriages. I work well with clients who either have had minimal therapy exposure, or difficulties feeling understood due to challenges intersecting with cultural, contextual and communication dilemmas. I have a limited practice, so I often work to assist others in finding culturally competent treatment.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
