In family therapy, we will explore how well both parents support each other in nurturing the children and setting boundaries. We will explore how the parents develop age-appropriate expectations for each child and how each child collaborates with these expectations. We will examine how well the family interacts with support systems outside of the family, such as extended family, schools, work, and spiritual centers. We will also look at how your family is having fun.
Once we identify where hierarchy, boundaries, and/or support are lacking, I will guide you in implementing change during the sessions and between sessions. Family Therapy is like a puzzle, where every family member holds a piece of the puzzle; each family member has some power to make a change. Thus, family therapy can be an empowering experience for everyone involved.
