Are you considering therapy? If you have been experiencing emotional difficulties, therapy can be an effective tool. It focuses on helping you to process your feelings, enhance or eliminate behaviors, learn to problem-solve, and build healthy relationships. Therapy also helps to identify factors affecting your current emotional state such as unresolved traumas, underlying depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict including marriage or child-rearing, work stressors. For teens, therapy can enhance parent-child relationships, peer conflicts, stress related to school and future aspirations and dating.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I believe in the phrase that “slow and steady small steps win the race”.
Was there a time in your life when you felt like you needed something to change to help you get back on track? Have you ever had the feeling of being stuck, anxious or overwhelmed with confusing thoughts and it’s holding you back? Or maybe you have been feeling like you are losing some of the confidence you know you have had all your life and just need a safe space to navigate through the waves of life? I know sometimes people say “therapy is daunting and it’s hard to open up to a stranger”. As a therapist, I try to provide a very flexible, open/ non judgmental, collaborative space, for my clients (adults and kids).

My experience is with parental guidance, teens, middle school and elementary school children and issues disrupting the family.
I believe there is a balance in every facet of our lives. Balance refers to a state of equilibrium a point where we all find calm. I would venture to say a place or state we all strive to achieve. Yet, we also know our lives are filled with those times when things are just not what they used to or should be. Whether your part of a sandwich generation (caring for children as well as elderly parent or parents); a parent of a teen who swears they know best and you have never lived life; your middle schooler looks and sounds like another person (due to their behavior); your toddler or school age child is making life difficult.

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.
