Please call me if I can be of any help to you or your family.
Are you afraid your Teenager is heading down the wrong path? I'd like to help. I work with families going through the teen years. Parenting a teen is not like parenting any other age. Great parents and adolescents often find this to be a difficult time of life. Maybe you have a high achieving teen who hits a wall, or one that doesn't see the point of anything. For over 18 years I have helped stressed families survive and thrive during this unique time of life. Families come in all shapes and sizes, and I want to understand how your family works.

A main focus of my therapy is joining clients in what they are going through. Therapeutic workbooks are great, but there is a big difference between opening up to a workbook versus opening up to a human being. When we open up to another person we make ourselves vulnerable. That is when true growth begins. I set out to try and help people deal with the core issues, as well as enhance their core strengths. When there is recovery in the core, the symptoms can be dealt with. Our problematic situations and behaviors are but a symptom. Website: jeremyharveymft.com

We all have times in our lives that are challenging and difficult but with some help we can navigate through them. In my opinion, therapy should be collaborative, compassionate, comfortable and safe. I would like for us to work together to revolve whatever issue/goal you may have. One of the most courageous decisions you’ll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul.

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.
