Family Therapy 

Building Stronger Families

Sometimes, families just get stuck. This can happen at any point in the family life-cycle, but it often occurs during transitional times such as:

​​​​

• grief and loss

• starting a new relationship

• the birth of a child 

• parenting small kids

• middle-age career and life changes

• helping grown children leave the home

• adjusting to life after retirement

​​​

Other issues like addiction, mental health or medical problems, and financial worries add extra challenges. These times put the family's skills to the test. Our families are supposed to be places of safety and security. We expect to be able to count on one another. When we get stuck in the same "dance" of criticizing, fighting, avoiding, and withdrawing, it hurts.
