Individual, Family, & Group Psychotherapy
Children and families sometimes struggle with Interpersonal Distress, Internal Conflicts, Behavioral & Emotional
Obstacles, and Unhelpful Misconceptions. Family psychotherapy can help families get from where they’re at to where they’d prefer to be. Family therapy is distinct from the other helping professions (e.g., psychiatry, psychiatric nursing, psychology, social work, behavioral analyst, and professional counseling). Family therapists view individuals and families separate from the problems that bring them to therapy. Family therapists recognize that individuals experience problems in the context of important relationships. Family therapists work within these important relationships to help individuals and families reclaim their adaptive strategies and overcome barriers to their preferred lives and relationships.
