It is awesome when families come to treatment. The benefit is having everyone involved in the common goal of better relationships. We can all have different perspectives of the problems facing us. Together let's look for new solutions for old long standing problems. Sometimes families focus on one person being the problem; we all have our parts in each situation. Each family member will be heard and everyone will have a voice in the family and parents can parent and kids can be kids.

A new phrase has entered the mainstream in the past few years - the "Boomerang Kid", the adult child who returns to live at home. This situation can feel like an unwelcome return to your child's teen years. His or her bad choices can drive you crazy!
I work with the family together or parents alone to figure out how to make this a more liveable situation for everyone.
Richard Mehl, M.Div., MFT, SAP
Your family relationships do not have to be dominated by pain and suffering any longer. Do you want the yelling and defiance to turn into respect and cooperation? Are you hoping for closeness and connection instead of distance and avoidance? Is it realistic to desire a family of harmony and love? Absolutely! My 25 years counseling experience has helped hundreds of families develop the skills they need to become a safe place for each member to grow both individually and together. Please contact me so that everyone in your family can improve their ability to communicate clearly, respect family values and boundaries, negotiate differences calmly, and increase their caring for one another.

The family goes through many changes as family member’s transition through various stages of development. Some of these life cycles can be a young couple with young children, managing work and child raising and their relationship with each other. Another life cycle can be a middle age couple with adolescents preparing to leave for college. Or a family due to economic reasons continuing to all live together. This may include 3 generations under one roof. Let’s look at patterns passed down from one generation to the next and what your family rules are, as well as boundaries, values, and family conflicts; to help you gain insight and learn to function more effectively as a family unit.

Family therapy is often the treatment of choice for families who are confronted with specific crisis situations, (such as death, divorce, illness, or child/adolescent issues). When the family is the client, I assess the way members interact and work to improve communication and problem-solving skills, as well as resolve the current life stressors. Each family member plays a role in the way the family interacts and is seen as a vital participant in both the healthy and dysfunctional styles of interaction. Therefore, in family counseling the goal is to assist each member to work together more effectively to create a more functional family unit.

Family relationships can be complicated and confusing. With family counseling I provide a safe environment for each member to express their perspective and feelings. I help each member of the family to recognize and understand the roles and rules that exist within their family. I will teach skills and we will do exercises to create empathy and understanding for all members. Roles and rules will be re-arranged, kept, eliminated and/or altered in order to create a healthier, safer and more nurturing family environment.

All families struggle at times. Often one or two family members seem to be more of "the problem," however, how a family functions together will always influence each member's behavior. I can help you learn to put boundaries to use, communicate more successfully, increase the intimacy in your relationships and deal with any problems that are challenging your family. You'll be closer, more honest, and more loving and understanding with each other as a result of the therapy. The issues could easily abate and/or you could all be armed with coping skills to meet the necessary challenges.

Most of all Dr. Rockman enjoys working with people. He firmly believes that people have the power to change and he instills his patients with the skills to do so…

Dr. Susan Pazak uses a family therapy method to assist the family to overcome problems that are usually due to resentments, anger, frustration from misunderstandings that were not amended or resolved as well as lack of effective communication. Family therapy usually involves addressing each family member's thoughts and feelings situations and focusing on how to improve the family interactions. Each family member has a voice and forum to express themselves in a non-judgmental environment in order to be understood and promote positive change. Forgiveness is usually a big part of family therapy.

For most people, making the decision to go for marriage counseling is in itself quite tough. Most people realize that there is a problem, but they do not take the step to visit a counselor because of various reasons, such as inhibition of opening up in front of a stranger or underestimating what a counselor can do to help in your troubled relationship. But a marriage counselor can be of great help in most cases of recurring disputes involving partners. However, marriage counseling does not only help couples in sorting out their specific issues or differences. It can also help couples strengthen their marital bonds and have a better understanding of each other.
Heather Browne, PsyD, MA, LMFT
Each person in a family has a voice and each person in a family has an impact. I am careful to make certain that the family looks at all the members and how they all interact as a family unit. It is important that each member is respected. We look at how the family is not in a state of health due to choices that the family is making. We work together toward connection, understanding, and growth for all memebers. Unhealthy alliances and interactions are acknowledged.

Families who come in for counseling usually want to address the problem(s) being caused by a specific member. However, as with any group, a family is only as strong (and as healthy) as its weakest member. Every member both affects, and is affected by, all the other members.
Because each member plays a vital role in how the family functions, Ceci helps the family become aware of each member's current role, and how it affects all the other members. Once they achieve this awareness, Ceci then works with the family to figure out which roles are working -- and which are not -- so that they can move toward making any necessary changes in their roles.

In order for the family system to work each member needs to feel validated, needed, and relevant. The presence of these three encourage the individual to participate in the family.
All families go through stages and when the attachment is strong and healthy then the family is able to remain connected through lifes transiitons and on going changes.
Catherine Wheeler, MFT
Family counseling is helpful with problems setting limits with children, dealing with grief, divorce, loss that can cause behavior problems, school issues, or family problems. Sometimes parents want help with boundaries for teenagers with anger issues, reblelliousness or entitlement problems. In some cases family therapy involves young adults who need support building an indepentent lifestyle and recovery from drugs or alcohol. Family therapy helps you learn how to help without enabling!

One of the greatest challenges many of us will ever face is raising a family and developing strong relationships between each of the family members. I help families discover the patterns of poor communication that have emerged over time and reconnect with each other with in a new and encouraging way. I also provide a safe environment where parents and children can see the world they way others see it. This place of deeper understanding is where the healing begins.

Families are individual people connected by a unique bond. This strong bond often leads families to argue, use hurtful words, and push others away, even though the underlying desire is for closeness, connectedness, and love. Angela's approach with families is to create a safe and honest place where communication can be improved, needs met, and wounds healed. She helps family members identify their roles and relate to each other in healthier ways.

Are you constantly arguing with your partner or your children? Does it break your heart that you can't all come together as a family? It is so hard to see your family struggling and to not know what to do about it. What I know is that most families aren't perfect and most struggle to understand each others needs. What I also know is that sometimes, with the involvement a third party, and a little bit of learning, it can get easier for your family. I would like to help.

All families have conflicts. The question is how does each family member work to assist the family change those conflicts in to healthier relationships. If you think about an engine, each part within the engine needs to be working properly in order for the engine to work properly. In the same way, families need all their parts to be working well in order for the family to feel healthy. Counseling works to identify what is not working, and resolve the conflicts, thereby allowing the family unit to feel better about themselves and each other.

Family life is often hectic - too hectic. Couples forget to nurture their love for one another and feel neglected and often pour all their efforts for happiness into the children or career. It is not always a one time crisis - it is usually a drifting apart, feel estranged from one another and not knowing how to restore the relationship or wondering if the relationship can be saved. Practical tools for listening and problem solving are applied. How to handle the family finances. Getting on the same page with raising the kids. Discovering common goals they want to work on together. Restoring their sex life. Even recovering from an affair is possible if forgiveness is possible.
Mary Ann Nugent, Psy.D.
In the beginning family teaches us who we are and how to relate to others. Our family can enhance our self esteem, provide a nurturing environment for our well-being and influence our outlook on life. Parenting skills and increased understanding of child developmental stages are emphasized in younger families. As a family matures, the focus may change to accommodate life transitions. Complications may arise related to expectations, autonomy, and issues of inter-relatedness. Each family member has the ability to positively or negatively affect the lives of the other members. A healthy, resilient, family structure values both individuality and group cohesiveness. They are able to accept the na....

Do you feel like your family just isn't how you imagined it would be? Or maybe it used to be better, but as the kids get older your family just seems to be growing further and further apart? In many cases one person within the family is having a difficult time and this creates tension for the entire family. I want to help. I believe that each member of the family has a role to play when one person is struggling or going off track. I will help you improve the communication within the family, identify the unmet needs of each member, and figure out how to improve the sense of care and respect expressed by each member for each other. Let me help you.

Does parenting your teenager seem impossible?
Are you tired of second guessing the decisions you make as the parent of a teenager?
Does the information about raising teenagers seem confusing, counterproductive, and contradictory?
I can help you learn to set boundaries, understand teenage behavior, and find peace. Parenting is difficult and becoming more difficult in these times. Asking for help as a parent is not a sign of weakness or bad parenting. It is proof of strength and love for your family.
Sara Doudna-Klein, LMFT
I enjoy working with families. It is a challenge and also a great satisfaction to help families understand how their individual traits and behaviors form "family patterns" . I help them to identify each person's role in the problem and how each can contribute to the solution. Family dynamics are facinating. So few people are aware of how families really function. I become fully engaged with each family...with their problems, their hopes and dreams, the special qualities of the individuals. I don't solve their problems - I give them tools to solve their own problems for today and for the future.
Kim Czemeres, M.A., LMFT
In order to promote better relationships between members of a family, my approach to Family Therapy is to look at the family unit as a whole and not just at how each member's attitudes/thoughts/behaviors can contribute to the family but rather, how the family sets up and facilitates dysfunctional patterns between one another. Therefore, no one is named, or blamed, for a family's issues but rather in how their role has been shaped into the family dynamics.

As a Marriage and Family therapist, I am uniquely trained to help families understand how our relationships affect one another. These are the people you live with every day for much of your life and they are instrumental in forming who you are. Meeting for family therapy provides an opportunity for each person to feel heard and seen, possibly in a different way than ever before. The goal in mind is for better communication, resolving long-standing problems and a renewed capacity for empathy extended to each member in the family.

All families develop their own unique 'dance' that is hard to discern when you are a participant. The dance steps started in our own family of origin and get recreated in our current families. Often there is an 'identified patient' that acts out what isn't processed within the family system. By entering the family system as a professional attuned to what healthy dynamics look like, I can help transform a limping, depleting family system into one that has vitality and encourages each family member to thrive and grow.
Sue Passalacqua, M.S., MFT
Working with families is extremely rewarding and requires a therapist to be able to manage multiple perspectives, a variety of feelings and behaviors while creating a safe and supportive environment for every family member. My role is to facilitate a fair and open space for each family member to share their thoughts and feelings about a variety of issues. Enhancing the manner in which families resolve confict is key to my treatment and intervention. Communication skills and conflict resolution are all part of this process. Each family is unique and it requires from me a cultural and gender sensitivity and understanding.

Families are often the central focus of our lives, and when normal family functioning is interrupted or feels ineffective, it can have significant effects on all individuals involved. I work with individuals and families dealing with family difficulties. Individually, or in conjunction, we can work together to improve the functioning of your family so that all members feel more engaged and understood in the family.

Each family member plays a role in the family system. Each is different and expected to act as a "team." When the team approach works, the family works at it's best. However, many family members act as though they are on opposite teams. Conflict is present, then oftentimes, detacment and rebellion. Working with a therapist as a family can help identity the role each member is playing and how they work in the family system. In a safe, respectul enviornment, a therapist will provide a place to be heard, teaching productive communication skills, offering tools and insight into the family dynamics.
Shaelyn Pham, Ph.D.
Family is where you can find the strongest support if it's healthy and cohesive. At the same time, it can also be a source for the greatest pain if miscommunications or misunderstandings have occurred. Having a third unbiased party can help you sort through the challenges within the family and find solutions that strengthen the relationships between family members.

In the 30 years of pracitcing family therapy, I have learned effective ways that allow my clients to feel safe, and empowered and to heal in an invironment that is both confidential and respectful. I am a solution oriented therapist and I work to assure that each family member is heard and respected as we work together to achieve the agreed upon "family" goals which are healthy for all members. I believe that when one member is having difficulty the entire family is "sick" and I work toward getting the entire family back to health and happiness.

Treating families takes skill and experience because of the strong dynamics that are already in place with the group. I treat families with children of the age 12 and older. I especially enjoy working with teenagers and their parents- no matter what issue is causing the family trouble, I can help families understand and work with one another towards more peace and respect. Communication skills including listening and empathizing with each member of the family is the place where treatment starts and then problem solving can begin.
