Child Therapy allows a child to have a private space where he/she can express and address upsetting issues in play therapy and/or verbal therapy, depending on age and intellectual sophistication. I work with children of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers.
Family Therapy addresses thoughts, feelings, and behavior that have been affected by growing up and living with your family or life partner. Family Therapy can include all, some, or none of your family, depending on the willingness of each member to participate in the process. Whether you are addressing a traumatic or “normal” childhood, a current stressful situation, or a long-standing conflict with a specific family member or spouse, Family Therapy is often necessary to resolve problems within a family that have affected the way you relate to yourself and other people in your life. A Family therapist can help you identify thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be preventing you from improving relationships within your family.
Using the Full Spectrum approach, working with a Family therapist can also address and resolve other issues that have led to engaging in family therapy, such as anxiety and depression. Because these underlying personal issues are often connected to close personal relationships, such as family and life partner, child, and family therapy can affect your life far beyond improving your relationship with your family or spouse.
