Dr. Good specializes in marital therapy. He is a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work and has worked with couples, families & individuals in the Annapolis community since 1978. Marriage work is about repair: to hear, be honest, build a team, rebuild trust & deepen intimacy. We find our way to do marriage - not my way or your way. Everyone is precious, worthy, broken & competent (in some areas). Everyone walks through life a little differently. The person is more important than the problem. In individual work I help you hear where you are coming from. When you know the impact on you & others, you make a better decision.

You want a positive change, but you don’t know where to start. The stressors of your life alone feel completely unbearable and you need some help. You dream of a better life but reaching your goals seem near impossible. When you wake up in the morning, you feel unmotivated and completely stuck. You are not alone, whatever is going on you can live the life you want and I want to help you do it.

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.
