If you are an Adult Child of a Dysfunctional Family, a person struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Chronic Medical Conditions, Addiction, or issues related to Aging and End of Life, I might be the right therapist for you.
If you are reading my post, it means that you have reached the point where you are looking to improve some aspects of your life or make a complete metamorphosis. You may be seeking inner peace, acceptance of yourself and others or ready to fulfill your potential. I don’t expect you to pronounce or spell my first name, you can call me Margaret like everybody else in the U.S. But I do expect that you will be honest with yourself, open minded to change (which is not always easy) and collaborate with me during the process. I have been working in the field for over 30 years, in outpatient and inpatient hospital settings.

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.
