FAMILY THERAPY

  I have found that a modified version of ISTDP and a thorough understanding of attachment is a very effective approach for helping families improve their relationships. The work that is unique to family therapy is different from the work that can be accomplished in individual therapy. In family therapy an emphasis will be put on understanding each other emotionally, which leads to a more secure attachment in these relationships. While this is different from individual work that can focus more on defining memories, this work also can be deeply healing. It is a very healing experience to develop a secure attachment with our loved ones today. This is often the most effective healing approach for children prior to adolescents, as well as for some older children.

 If you are wanting to focus more on the dynamics of these current relationships in your life then I can work with you as a family. We can schedule one or two hour appointments. Family work often becomes intense. You may prefer to keep this intense work to one hour at a time, or you may want to have a longer session at times. Your can let me know what you prefer, or together as we work we can decide what is most effective and productive for you. Family therapy is an investment in having the family you want, and I am dedicated to helping you achieve the healing and connection you desire in your family.
