Family Therapy

“In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, bridge to our future."

- Alex Haley

A family is like a tree. Some have strong roots with branches growing toward the sun. Some have heavier branches that may cause the tree to lean to one side. Each branch affecting the other. Family therapy helps grow a strong trunk to support the tree.

Benefits:

  • Stronger connection/family cohesion

  • Healthier communication

  • Conflict resolution

  • Bringing laughter and play back into the family

  • Healthy boundaries

  • Increased self-awareness

  • Reduction of family stress

What to Expect:

The family is the client in family therapy. No one person is more important than the others. Just like my individual sessions, I utilize experiential family therapy. Treatment involves role-play, art, movement, and play to build a stronger family connection. Homework will be provided to increase consistency at home.

  • Family distress

  • Sibling arguments

  • Parental stress/anxiety

  • Ineffective communication styles

  • Behavioral challenges of one of more family members
