Support for Life | Family Therapy | Client Centered Therapist

WHY FAMILY THERAPY?
When a family comes to therapy, it is important to first try to understand the problem from the viewpoint of all of the individuals involved. A parent's view of the issue may be far different than how a child sees the difficulties the family is experiencing. It is helpful to see how the family interacts to assist in the process of defining the actual difficulties.

During our therapy sessions, we listen to each member of the family and together we explore each family member's perspective. As a marriage and family therapist I have been trained to work with the entire family, and in my years of experience, I have worked with many families and with a variety of issues. I think you will find my approach to be friendly, fair and welcoming.

HOW I CAN HELP
Coming to family therapy can change the equation in the family process. I can help to highlight the issues and frame viewpoints in a way that can be better heard, taken in and understood by others. In between sessions, the family explores their process in the family context. This exploration helps individuals to better understand their role in the family and the problem.

To create a problem-solving environment, I will work to make the sessions safe for everyone to share. In therapy we pull back the layers. Some of the ability to progress quickly relies on the therapy atmosphere being conducive to change. When others are able to share freely, honestly and without retribution, positive change often occurs more quickly. As a family begins to function better, time between sessions may be spaced further apart.
