Family system therapy

A form of psychotherapy that shows individuals resolve their problems in the context of their family units, where many issues are likely to begin it looks at how individuals are impacted based on the systems in which they operate within examples of origins relationships in the community and at work and the relationship that one has with those systems

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing

EMDR therapy is a phased, focused approach to treating trauma and other symptoms by reconnecting the traumatized person in a safe and measured way to the images, self - thoughts, emotions, and body sensations associated with the trauma and allowing the natural healing powers of the brain to move towards a more adaptive belief. You relive traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses while the therapist directs your eye movements. EMDR is thought to be effective because recalling distressing events is often less emotionally upsetting when your attention is diverted.

What Is Individual Therapy?

Individual therapy from a systems perspective recognizes the interconnectedness of a person’s relationships and environments, and how these systems impact their mental health and well-being. As a therapist, my approach is deeply collaborative, working alongside you to uncover insights and foster self-awareness. Together, we’ll explore strategies for self-care and personal growth, all within the safety of a trustful therapeutic relationship. My goal is to support you in navigating life’s challenges, not just as an individual, but as a part of the larger systems in your life.

What Is Teens and Adolescents Therapy?

Working with teens and adolescents, ages 7-17, requires a unique approach, especially in a remote setting. My therapeutic style is intentional and personal; I prioritize building a rapport by understanding each young individual—what challenges them, what excites them, and what they struggle with. From there, we collaboratively address the needs and concerns expressed by both the child and their parents. For those under 13, parental involvement is crucial, not only to stay informed but to contribute to the therapeutic process. Regularly scheduled meetings with parents ensure transparency about progress and the nature of our sessions. While confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy, any risks or concerns will be communicated, ensuring your child’s safety and well-being are always at the forefront.

What Is Family Therapy?

Family Therapy is a compassionate approach to healing relationships. Its primary focus is on nurturing positive change and development within families and couples. Rather than viewing individuals in isolation, family therapy considers the intricate systems of interaction among family members.

What Does Family Therapy Involve?

Interfamilial Relationships: Family therapy aims to improve relationships and behaviors among family members. It recognizes that a family unit consists of various combinations of loved ones, including parents, children, siblings, grandparents, and even close friends.

Addressing Challenges: Whether adjusting to life changes, coping with aging, dealing with grief, or resolving conflicts, family therapy provides a safe space to explore and address these challenges.

Treating Mental Health Conditions: Trained mental health professionals, such as psychologists, therapists, or counselors (often Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists), use family therapy to treat specific mental health or behavioral conditions within the family context. For instance, it can help address issues like substance use disorder or oppositional defiant disorder.

Family therapy fosters stronger relationships, improved communication, and conflict management within the family system. It’s a powerful tool for healing and growth.
