Family Therapy

Family therapy is a branch of psychology and clinical social work that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction between family members.

​

Family therapy can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better and learn coping skills to bring you closer together.

​

For children and adolescents, family therapy most often is used when the child or adolescent has a personality, anxiety, or mood disorder that impairs their family and social functioning, and when a stepfamily is formed or begins having difficulties adjusting to new family life.

​

Some of the issues I can help your family with are: 

• Conflicts between family members.

• Substance abuse or addiction.

• A family member's mental illness.

• Financial problems or disagreements about money.

• Problems in school.

• Difficulties between siblings.

• Children's behavior problems.
