As both a clinician and self-identified individual in long-term non-abstinence-based recovery, I know what's it like to struggle with finding and maintaining recovery through traditional means. I believe that recovery is not a one-size-fits all model that can only be obtained through total abstinence or only working the 12 steps. Recovery can take on many different forms through a harm reduction approach, including, but not limited to medicated-assisted treatment, moderation management, as well as abstinence. If you are looking for your own pathway to recovery that feels true to you & your own desires, harm reduction may be for you.

Something that I have experienced personally is the fact that looking for a counseling provider can be one of the most difficult and vulnerable things a person can do. The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one between client and professional, so finding a provider who is the best fit for you is of the utmost importance. I believe in using empathy and a non-judgmental, non-directive approach to help my clients to alleviate their presenting problems and existential distress.

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.
