Introducing neurological function awareness to a counseling session gives an unusual power to an individual, family or group.
I invite people to be curious about their brains, to understand why they do, how they think! Addicted? Anxious? Angry? A relationship in trouble? All are about the brain. Learning about the amygdala and how it is connected to the rest of the brain, the alert it keeps us at, has everything to do with learning about doing life differently from here forward. Learning how visceral tension response on the body is a clue to what is going on in the mind, gives a sense of control in any situation, giving the balance between frontal lobe executive thinking and limbic system emotional reactivity.

If being a parent came with a book specific for your family, it would be so much easier.
Families often have questions about their child's learning, be it Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Autism, ADHD or Gifted. What is keeping your child from achieving more success? Socially, we all want our children to have friends, be invited to birthday parties or meet the milestones that others get to celebrate. Questions about how to manage that are all valid and can be addressed together. Clients also looking to optimize their brain functioning through Neurofeedback therapy, to support Anxiety, Depression, past traumas, or sleep issues can be fulfilled with treatments.

Let’s be honest, life is often a struggle. We go through hardships in our relationships, at work, school, home, and within ourselves. Some experience depression, anxiety or trauma, while others struggle to understand or accept who they are. That being said, life is also amazing and can be full of beautiful moments and experiences. The difficulty lies when our struggles get in the way of being able to enjoy those good moments. My hope as your therapist is to help you manage and overcome whatever struggles you may be experiencing, and to allow you to enjoy the beauty in life again.

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.
