Getting stuck in old thoughts and behaviors block us from being true to ourselves and having satisfying relationships with our partner, friends, and family members.
Individuals who call me say they are exhausted, discouraged, and dissatisfied with life. Old thoughts and behaviors continue to negatively impact who they are, what they want to accomplish, and their relationships. They have lost the meaning and magic of life. Couples who call me say they've drifted apart, feel more like roommates, and affection has stopped. Ineffective patterns of communication prevent them from reaching to each other. The magic in their relationship has died and the dance has ended. Healthy relationships, whether with yourself or others, are key to a happy, satisfying, life and keeping the magic going.

Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder can be overwhelming. There is substantial overlap with anxiety, depression, and difficulty adjusting to an ever-changing life. Many individuals are also challenged with behavioral and sensory issues that are difficult to manage, often resulting in conflicts with family members, coworkers, and classmates. These challenges can quickly grow into a life that feels unmanageable and unhappy. When life gets hard, a little help goes a long way. The chaos and stress can impact all areas of life. But it doesn't have to. You don't have to go it alone.

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.
