Often times, families get stuck in negative cycles that can be difficult to break. Our trained therapists meet with families to gain an understanding of the issues that need to be addressed. Ongoing issues of conflict and communication will be addressed, as well as the difficulties that come with separation or divorce of parents, death of loved ones, and extended family issues. Often times, therapists will meet separately with parents and caregivers to explore healthier and more effective ways of parenting, co-parenting, and discipline so that greater cohesiveness can exist between parents and children. While we will determine specific goals at the onset of family therapy, the ultimate goal is to develop a deeper trust and connection with one another.

Our family affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us.
