Is family therapy for us?
- Are there frequent conflicts, arguments, and escalations?
- Are things being said and actions being done that are regretted later?
- Are feelings being frequently hurt?
- Have you lost connection with each other?
- Do you find yourself in a power struggle with your child?
- Does your child’s behavior seem to be out of control?
- Do you feel lost on how to parent them?
- Do you feel that your family is falling apart and no one is having fun in this family anymore?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions or struggle with any other relationship issues, I may be able to help your family.
Therapeutic Approach
Utilizing the systemic approach in my clinical work I see families’ struggles as a relationship problem rather than the fault of one person.
How does therapy work?
There are 4 parts to therapy:
Assessment
The first few sessions will be spent on assessing your family’s interactions and values.
We will take a closer look at your patterns of interactions.
Goal setting
Based on the assessment findings and your therapy objectives we will come up with achievable goals that would improve your family’s life.
Reaching the goals
We will work on creating more healthy patterns of interactions between your family members.
It may include, but is not limited to changes in:
- Communication
- Setting healthy boundaries
- Emotional regulation
- Parenting
- As well as addressing unresolved issues from past
If applicable, we will address unresolved issues from the past that are still impacting the family relationships.
Planning for the future
At the final part of therapy, we will plan for the future to maximize the chance of sustaining healthier family interactions today.
