My clients come ready to go deep and discover what is and is not serving them so they may make lasting changes. The way you feel today does not have to be the way you feel forever. Sometimes we are unable to see what is standing in our way and in those times, having another perspective, from someone who genuinely wants to see you grow, can help uncover unseen aspects of ourselves and our lives.

Trauma turns your world on its head, not only through the event but the aftermath. Anger, grief, confusion- all of these responses may come out of children, teens, and even adults by lashing out, throwing tantrums, making impulsive decisions, losing focus, and withdrawing from friends and family. These big changes are hard to process and can cause not only your child but you and your family to struggle. You're tired of trauma stealing the family, the child, the life you had before.

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.
