WHO IS THERAPY FOR?

If you have a troubled child, a troubled self, troubled family dynamics, a troubled marriage and think that there’s no help for your predicament ,then therapy is for you!

A marriage and family therapist is trained on dealing with all of these issues and approach them from a systemic view rather than a linear view. You say, what does that mean?

The systemic perspective holds the assumptions that a) problems are caused and maintained in the system through unhelpful relational dynamics and ongoing interactions, and b) solutions are created and maintained by individuals within the system changing their communication and interactions with, and responses to other members of the system.

When your work is founded in circular causality, it reveals options for interpretation, intervention, and hope, for you the individual, the child, the couple and the family.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a treatment approach that helps the client recognize negative or unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Here we identify how your emotions and thoughts affect your actions. Once we notice these patterns, the client can begin to change their behaviors and develop new coping strategies.
Structural family therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the interactions between family members. Looking at the family as a system, structural family therapists work to improve communication between members of the family and encourage adjustments in the rules that govern how the family functions (its structure).
The treatment’s distinctive features are the conception of the family as a structural system, and the active engagement of the therapist in the process of restructuring the way the system works in order to adjust elements that cause dysfunction. This restructuring can include family boundaries, hierarchies of power, and reactions by family members to major life changes.
Structural Family Therapy allows everyone in the family to hear the viewpoint of the others, and allows the therapist to observe how the family interacts in real life, in contrast with individual therapies, where the therapist hears about family dynamics recounted by a single individual.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term goal-focused evidence-based therapeutic approach, which incorporates positive psychology principles and practices, and which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. In the most basic sense, SFBT is a hope friendly, positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle for formulating, motivating, achieving, and sustaining desired behavioral change.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is a specific approach to therapy that recognizes and emphasizes understanding how the traumatic experience impacts a persons mental, behavioral, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
This type of therapy is rooted in understanding the connection between the trauma experience and the persons emotional and behavioral responses.
The purpose of trauma-focused therapy is to offer skills and strategies to assist you in better understanding, coping with, processing emotions and memories tied to traumatic experiences, with the end goal of enabling you to create a healthier and more adaptive meaning of the experience that took place in your life
