Such problems are marginalization, family & self nonacceptance, and the infliction of micro-aggressions.
My goal is for clients to benefit from my experience as a LMFT (132685), registered nurse (307004), & a doctorate in human sexuality. I have a broad range of counseling experiences from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship management, anxiety, and LGBTQ issues. Generally, psychotherapeutic problems are interrelated in some form. For example, many LGBT+ clients deal with nonacceptance from significant others. Resolving feeling of alienation can enhance one's livability. Many diverse individuals' have experienced various forms of traumas in their lifespan (rejections, sexual violations, biases), PTSD is not uncommon.

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.
