Couples and Family Therapies

Couples develop a particular pattern of interaction throughout the years. This pattern then affects each individual and the couple as a whole.  Interactions in the relationship are also influenced by issues, expectations and inner conflicts stemming from each person's history.

Couples therapy differs from individual therapy in that it focuses on the relationship and its existing problems. The therapist helps both individuals identify conflict issues and helps them decide what changes are needed in the interactions and in the behavior of each.

As in individual psychotherapy, my preference is to use the strengths of the relationship and the positive aspects that first brought the couple together to help change some of the negative dynamics that affect the couple.

Family Therapy is available for those families who are appropriate for such modality. If you are seeking family therapy, I will evaluate your family's needs and discuss with you the most effective approach to help fill those needs.
