Our clinicians take great pride in working with the family as a unit and looking at all members of the family as someone who brings positive attributes to the relationship and we will work with all members of the family to highlight everyone’s strengths, as well as recognizing ineffective patterns of interaction that interfere with the relationship’s success. Couples and Families alike can expect all therapists to be fair and to provide feedback and support that helps strengthen the family bond.
At times therapists will give Couples and Families homework assignments to practice changing how they interact with each other through the week. The goals of therapy will be identified in the beginning of therapy and then worked on throughout therapy.
Clients are encouraged to be open and honest in therapy sessions to gain maximum support. People come to therapy for couples and family therapy to strength the bond in the relationship, this can be a recovery from: addiction, behavioral dysregulation, infidelity, difficulty with parenting, difficulty with fertility, strained relationships, difficulty in communicating with each other in an effective way, adjustments in life such as a baby, new job, move, caring for an elderly parent, etc. There is really no topic that is too small for family or couples therapy if the relationship is strained.
