My name is Stephanie Norris and I am conveniently located in Centennial and Littleton! I utilize an integrative, individualized treatment approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral, motivational interviewing, and family systems theories. As such, I believe in providing goal-directed treatment. This means that we develop treatment goals together, after a thorough assessment. All treatment is then planned around progressing toward the achievement of the established treatment goal(s). If you ever have questions about the nature of treatment or anything else about your care, please don't hesitate to ask.

Life's messy and complicated, and you weren't as prepared as you would have liked for the curveballs. Important relationships in your life have become strained, or you experienced something difficult that you can't seem to find a place for in your mind. You might find yourself struggling with restlessness and irritability. It feels like you're putting on a happy face when you're really just drained, or you're exhausted from having arguments with your loved ones all the time. How your problems express themselves in your life may look different than it might for someone else, and those distinctions are really important.

At any point in life, by circumstance or choice, we may lose our internal compass. Maybe you’re stuck on autopilot, weighed down by your own thoughts, or drifting aimlessly through life. You may wonder why certain relationships feel strained and why you can’t seem to fix it. Acquiring a deeper understanding for what drives our behavior can help us regain direction and realign our internal compass. Meaningful change comes from embracing our shadows, our unwanted thoughts, and emotions. It is in this discomfort that we find growth. However, the idea of doing this alone can feel daunting.

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.
