I work the addict or affected
family
members, starting where the clients are today.
Addiction is a struggle, for the addict and those around the addict. It is baffling and you can stop trying to conquer addiction alone. Working with an experienced addiction therapist may help you stop the mental gymnastics, the self-defeating behavior. You may begin to resolve issues with work,
family
and friends. Experienced guidance will guide you to a new perspective on how to stop your struggles with addiction and begin to build a new way of thinking about addiction and your self image. Let me guide you through the fog into a new life.

Ever asked yourself why you continue to experience the same unhealthy or toxic patterns in your relationships whether they are intimate, or with a friend,
family
member, etc.? Do you find yourself blaming others or yourself for some of your failed relationships? You did not fail! Instead it seems like some of your earlier interactions in life with your caregivers, parents or
family
members may have taught you some unhealthy interpersonal skills resulting in toxic relationship patterns.

Therapy can help when life becomes overwhelming, when you feel alone in your struggles, or experiencing major life changes. You may find it difficult to talk about your problems with
family
members or friends, as they may not understand your feelings. My role as a therapist is to empower those facing various issues in their life; assisting clients to cope with difficult situations in a more adaptive way. Being listened to will help you feel understood and that other people care about you and what you have to say. I provide a supportive, caring, non-judgmental, safe, and culturally appropriate atmosphere.

There are words stuck in your throat that you want to say, but you can’t seem to find your voice. Your friends and
family
may have trouble understanding you, so you hide your true emotions or spend lots of time pretending just to be accepted. Past traumatic experiences repeat silently in your mind. It’s hard to trust yourself or others, including therapists. You might be an adult with a past that won’t quit or a teenager struggling to find their identity. You might be a parent whose teen is struggling with confidence or wants to learn how to have a better relationship with them through
family
work.

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.
