Family Therapy

The purpose of the family unit is provide support, love and safety for its members. When families face special challenges, family members may need help to avoid or reverse destructive patterns. Practical family therapy addresses these challenges-divorce, remarriage, additions or losses in family membership, violence, grief, illness, addiction and life-style issues.

Working together in therapy, families can help reduce the hurt, foster positive interactions and allow trust to develop. Even long-standing hostility or conflict may be replaced with positive, nurturing behaviors. Gently, and with mutual respect, family members can learn to support and feel safe with each other.
