Family crises, growing careers, and developing children demand new skills.
I provide individual psychotherapy, couples counseling, and career guidance. Individual psychotherapy offers the chance to solve problems and chart new directions in life. You can free yourself from restrictive patterns of the past, develop emotional balance in the present, and enjoy new growth possibilities for the future. In psychotherapy, these goals come within reach through the conscious examination of life patterns. They come to realization through the careful encouragement of human potential. As you develop a subtler awareness of your own thoughts, emotions, and communication patterns, you can learn to change your life.

You know the road to peace lies both in healing the past, and also moving forward. Addressing trauma feels empowering but overwhelming. Moving forward feels exciting, but potentially superficial. You want a therapist who can do both: heal the past, and take charge of the future. But there's another issue- you don't know which therapist to pick. You've had a bad therapist in the past, or heard about terrible experiences of your friends and family. You want to make sure that whoever you start working with, is professional, responsible, and effective.

Greetings from Frank Smith, MFT. Let me offer a truism: whether positive or negative, most behavior is learned. Behavior often results in patterns. Those patterns can be positive and life affirming. But they can also be maladaptive and impact our self-esteem, happiness and relationships. You may be wondering...why can't I break these destructive patterns? I can help you unravel where they came from. Such awareness is the first step toward better emotional health. Let me be your psychological navigator to help you let go of the past and have a better and more fulfilling life.

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.
