Do you ever think, "why is it so hard to get along?" Do you wonder why love doesn't seem to be enough to stop the fighting? Do you end up fighting and arguing when you're just trying to discuss things? Do you ever wonder why you just can't seem to understand each other? Do you wake up in the middle of the night thinking, "I can't do this anymore! I hate this! Why is this relationship so hard?!? There must be a better way!"

My name is Kristine Cotangco, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who is passionate about building resilience in those experiencing stressful times. I believe that a problematic situation is never the fault of (or resolved by) one person, but rather the accumulation of factors including you, the people around you, and the environment in which you live. I work to have an understanding of the bigger picture so that I can help you overcome patterns of behavior, rather than simply helping you through an isolated incident.

Using Emotionally-Focused Family therapy, an evidenced-based treatment that’s helped many families, we can get to a place where your kids feel more supported by you, you feel more empowered, or you feel more heard.
Do you struggle with co-parenting and find it difficult to communicate with the other parent and worry about how it affects your child? Do you wish to support your “big feelings” child but find it hard not to have “big feelings” yourself? As an adult child, do you wish to build a better relationship with your parent but struggle on how to make yourself feel heard? I can help. I help parents communicate with their co-parent without getting caught up in a cycle and focus on what matters the most- your child. I help families listen and hear each other and instead of “blowing up”, build empathy and closeness instead.

I help kids recognize and rewrite their own stories by using resources within themselves, and their family systems.
Do you look at your child and know that they have resources in themselves, talents and potential, but their anxiety and depression are getting in the way? Do you feel like you have used up your own resources, and you’re not sure what to do now? Over the course of more than 15 years as a children’s therapist, I’ve seen children go from struggling with anxiety, depression, peer relationships, parental relationships, and academics succeed by learning to tap into their own resources and talents. Most importantly, I’ve seen children learn to love themselves by embracing both their weaknesses and strengths.

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.
