Family Therapy

Family therapy can be a great way to improve communication, interpersonal functioning, and the well-being of the family unit. We approach family therapy from a strengths-based, systems perspective in hopes to improve functioning for the family as a whole as well as for the individual members. In work with children, youth, and teens, often family therapy can assist parents who may need support in various aspects of parenting and relating to their children. Some common issues that can be addressed in family therapy include parenting concerns, divorce/separation, trauma, behavior concerns of children, family transitions, and more.

Couples Therapy

In couples therapy, a focus on functioning within the partnership combined with a systems perspective can be a way to assist couples with improving communication and minimizing conflict. Utilizing a systems perspective lends to understanding environmental dynamics at play that may be affecting the partnership. We are available to work with couples at every stage of their partnership. Some common issues that can be addressed in couples therapy include intimacy problems, communication issues, transitions, co-parenting, infidelity, infertility, separation and divorce, financial issues, premarital counseling, and more.
