On the outside, it looks like you have it all together. You’re a straight-A student or excelling at your job; you’re ambitious and driven. But at a closer look, everything is a mess.

Rona Preli has extensive expertise in the Structural and Strategic models of family therapy.
Our therapeutic approach at Strategic Solutions utilizes a brief, problem solving model that focuses on understanding and treating problems within their intimate context. The goal of therapy is to resolve the presenting problem while fostering supportive, functional relationships. Family problems are embedded in relationship patterns, which can become unproductive and perpetuate, rather than solve problems. Our approach is strength-based and outcome oriented. The focus of therapy is understanding the client's goals for change and then working together to solve those problems directly.

Whether you are an adolescent, adult, or elder facing stressors from trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, family problems, or addiction, I am here to help.
As you embark on your therapeutic journey, the first two questions I will ask are, "What do you hope to gain from our time together?" and "Why now?". Many people have intermingled hopes and fears of therapy, but my goal is to create a safe space for you to move toward your psychological health. I want to understand the challenge that has brought you here and what you hope to achieve through therapy as we build trust and rapport.

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.
