Parenting has become more challenging than it was in previous generations - and growing up is more complicated too. Instead of "respecting their elders," chlldren & adolescents today often "act out" in rebellion with risky behaviors. In the U.S.A., "old country" vs. "new country" values can cause major conflicts between generations. Hurt feelings & misunderstandings intensify conflict & stress. As a skilled family therapist, I help family members talk about their feelings so that they can be heard and understood by the rest of the family. Compassion and empathy can be nurtured, leading to willingness to work together on compromises for "win-win" solutions, and greater harmony & cooperation.
Lucy Cotter, LMFT

It is a chance to heal past hurts, deepen relationships and move forward with increased sharing and connection.

Family issues can feel like the most difficult - because there are other people involved with whom you have a long, complex history and emotional investment. My expertise in family dynamics will help you to unravel these complex issues, determine what you can change and what you can't, and who you want to include in the process. Family can feel like the safest place on earth - or the least safe. Together we can unwind the ties that bind, so you can feel peace being you, create the loving, satisfying relationships you desire, and resolve the pain and toxicity that can keep you in chaos. Adults, parents and their children, siblings, adolescents, and extended family members are welcome.

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 come to me in a state of chaos and upon successfult treatment, leave with structure, stability, and love. I will teach you how to use a simple method of communication to put a quick end to "too long" arguments... and that's just the first session. Parents can regain control over their disruptive children once they learn my techniques of "seeing" and "guiding." Put an end to being too critical of or spoiling your kids. Contact Thomas today!
Carl H. Shubs, Ph.D.
A family is not just a collection of people. Everyone in the family impacts the family dynamic, how the people relate to each other. And, each person changes that dynamic, in a unique way, even when they may not intend to.
If you’re having difficulties in your family, we can address how the family’s rules of relating and the patterns of relationships can help to make things better. We’ll also see how unproductive patterns can be eliminated.
Gary S Fisher, Psy.D., CDAC
Our family of origin, that being the situation in which we were raised, sets the template for any further family experiences. It is vitally important to work through any dysfunctional programming that may have occurred with other family members whenever possible. My approach to family therapy is a systems approach, wherein all members have some part in the dysfunction and also contribute to the solution.

What future do you want for your family? Stressors can affect families in many ways. Family therapy provides the opportunity to change your family’s relationship to its problems and the effects those problems have on each person in your family. Families come to therapy for a variety of reasons: single parenthood; underperformance at school; birth of a new sibling; unemployment; relocation; substance abuse; mental illness; divorce; blending families; grief and loss. If your family is experiencing difficulty, family therapy is a way to increase communication and understanding, while discovering sources of strength and support within your family.

The experiences we have in our family of origin impact how we feel with others. We learn what feels safe or unsafe directly from our interactions with our parents, siblings, extended family and friends. I find that it is very helpful for most family members to start with a family psycho-education where we address the attachment style in the family. I have been working as a Marriage and Family Therapist for over 30 years. Several families include 3 generations who have come into therapy over time.

If you feel like your family life is total chaos, all you do is argue and fight, and you’ve tried everything to make it better but nothing has helped, I can help. I will teach you positive parenting and communication skills to improve all of your family relationships. This will reduce tension so that you can enjoy a fulfilling and satisfying family life. If the family chaos is caused by divorce, I can also help you get through the difficult time of divorce in an amicable way that will help you, your spouse, and especially your children to create a new and harmonious family relationship.
Jeannette York, MFT, MA
One of the ways we know who we are, is in the context of our relationships with other people. Of all the relationships that we have, it is the ones with our families that most impact us. Sometimes family members forget how to communicate in loving and supportive ways. Often times there are subjects that are too hard to talk about. Silence is often in the place of healthy discussions. I believe that the home should be the safest place for everyone to express themselves. Let me help your family learn how to keep each other emotionally safe and to get to know each other on a deeper level. Call for an appt.

Family therapy provides one of the most powerful tools for addressing both individual emotional issues and interpersonal dynamics that have evolved and developed over multiple generations. By providing a safe, trusting, and unconditionally accepting environment for each family member to be nurtured, actively listened to, and empathized with, the families intimacy will increase and their interpersonal dynamics will change.

When one person in the family is plagued by a problem, it disrupts the whole system. Feeling disruptions in the family is difficult and may be the reason family therapy is the right choice for you. I believe that by providing family therapy, the family can learn to live more cohesively and talk to one another, not at each other. A good family therapist is one to help put the pieces back together after things have fallen apart. I listen to family members individually and as a whole to hear what the problem is from their perspective and treat it accordingly. Getting family therapy may be the best decision of your lives.

In a society that has become extremely technological, many teens and young adults have disconnected from nourishing relationships in favor of virtual ones. Connecting with parents, siblings, friends and neighbors, has been replaced by less emotionally fulfilling forms of interaction.
My specialty is improving teen's relationships. I can help you build better communication with your child. I can also assist your family in resolving issues from the past for a fresh start. I will support you in creating a more peaceful home environment. So, as difficult as things may seem right now, in working with me your can rest assured that better times ahead.
Cindy Kludt, M.A., LMFT
I look at families as a system. Each person has his/her particular part he/she plays in the system. When a family comes into therapy, it's usually because someone in the family is seen as being to blame, or as the cause of the family disruption, either an acting out child, or parent, or marital strife. Each member is feeling anxiety and emotional pain. The intent is to stop the blame and pain and refocus on how to become a healthy and reorganized family unit. I will see the entire family, and/or various dyads and triads depending on what's going on within the family. Humor is used and there is usually a feeling of relief by all since each member is encouraged to have their voice heard.

A healthy family is much like owning and maintaining a car. That is, if something is wrong with the car, the car won't run properly. Same goes for families. If one person is having difficulties then it affects the entire family. Family therapy helps everyone in the family work better together by addressing all the problems that are getting in the way.

I have had extensive experience and training in family therapy. Families can often benefit from addressing their conflicts in a collaborative manner. I provide a safe space in which family members can share their concerns and develop effective ways of communicating with one another. I help families to establish clearly defined goals as this can play an important role in strengthening members' relationships and the family's overall stability. My approach emphasizes the importance of responding thoughtfully and mindfully to one another as opposed to reacting to the intense, stirred up emotions that are often present in families who are having difficulties.
Erin Sumner, MS, MFT
The importance of family therapy is to determine each person's role in the family and to see the patterns of family functioning. Family therapy is needed when there is conflict between two or more people within the family. Family therapy is also important for children, as children usually do not show significant progress in therapy without family involvement.
Taji Huang, Ph.D.
My name is Dr. Taji Huang and I have dedicated the past 12 years of my career to the field of mental health in a very broad range of mental health settings. I have had the priviledge of working closely with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couples, family and group settings. One of the tools that I use is psychotherapy, which involves regular face-to-face meetings with the psychologist. Sessions typically last between 45-50 minutes, one or more times per week; depending on the case. In this confidential and safe setting, clients have the opportunity to explore personal issues with someone who has unique listening skills.

That means that when there's a problem with a family member, be it a misbehaving kid, an acting out teenager or conflicts with extended family members, I view it as a family issue where there's no blame on anyone but rather looking at how various members of the family can be contributing to the problem.

Each of us wants to have a family unit where he/she feels safe and understood. Especially when we, or our loved ones, begin to experience challenges as a result of midlife or aging issues, we want our loved ones to be there for support. I like to educate families about some of the things they may expect as a result of the aging process, normalize them, and help them proceed with the power of knowledge.

When our relationship becomes unhappy, it always affects and impacts the entire family. Working with couples to improve the relationship is important but we cannot overlook the impact to the family. In family therapy we explore problems that have negatively impacted the family from wherever it has come. We will help each member of the family to understand what is happening, how it has impacted them and explore methods of adjustment and remediation. We will identify problems and work to resolve them.

Families are systems in themselves; not just the sum number of individuals. Each person in the family is struggling to get basic physical, emotional, psychological and attachment needs met, by another individual in the family, or from the family as a system. Understanding these system dynamics, and revealing the verbalized as well as the non-verbalized needs, for each member, going unmet, is needed in order for each family member to feel hopeful for the future, and empowered to take on the world. Let me help your family be a place of healing, growth and empowerment.

Many times families need help to deal with struggles between them, or to get through difficult circumstances. Each relationship within a family is different from all others, and may need specific opportunities to express thoughts and feelings. Supportive and encouraging therapy may be just what is needed to remove blocks between family members so that the love can flow again.
William Josephs, Ph.D.
The family is a complex system. Just as a machine has near countless static and moving parts, so does a family. The compatibility and meshing of these complex parts, unlike a machine is flesh and blood human, often changing even without any family member being aware of it. With those changes in individuals come changes in the family that may accommodate them; however, when not, conflict is created as the family "engine" begins to operate differently. Family therapy seeks to make family members aware of how adapting or adjusting to changes, especially in behavior, although not necessarily a speedy process can lead to a more harmonious family and personal life.

As a family therapist, I facilitate fair discussions, offer suggestions for changes, teach communication skills and new ways of coping. This helps with understanding each other and finding solutions. We look at the whole family to see whether certain patterns or traits were learned from the previous generation without realizing that some of them may have been ineffective or harmful, even though they seemed so “normal.” Since parents are the heads of the family, they need to work together, not against each other. And we make sure that boundaries between the family members are clear, visible, and consistent. This all can improve your family life considerably.
Ron Jackson, MS
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.

The goal of family therapy is to help family members improve communication, solve family problems and create a better functioning environment. It will identify family patterns that contribute to a behavioral discord. I emphasize a better way to interact with each other by learning how to resolve conflict. I feel that blended families, families with members from a mixture of racial, cultural and religious background, divorce, remarriage and birth of a new sibling all have adjustment difficulties that needs to be addressed in family therapy.

In family therapy, I set a structure with rules and guidelines that requires all participants to respect me, each other and the process. I strive to remain neutral and to allow each member enough time, without interruption, to express their concerns about the family relationships. To help each member get what they need, I act as a mediator and negotiate for changes in the family system.

In doing family therapy I try to work with all members of the family so that I can understand the dynamics, the rules and roles, the relationships that are not permitting the family to function in a healthy way. Many times the focus is on one member of the family, but usually there is a non-verbalized system that keeps the family from functioning well that is not necessarily just the problem of that one person. I work to have the family understand what is really at stake, what changes they can make to function in healthier ways, what attitudes and assumptions may need to be challenged or changed. I focus on the need for respectful communication and treatment of all family members.

A family is a unit composed of several individuals, that form its dynamic, communication style, interaction, needs and desires, and sometimes these ‘clash’ or do not go hand in hand or in great harmony, to say the least! When working with families it is important to know that each person and each family is unique and has its own style, challenges and differences in character and personality. Our primary aim will be to explore, with each of you, as well as together, the underlying concerns and challenges and guide you to overcome them.

I am trained in family systems. When families are in trouble, blended families especially, I like to start with getting everyone's ideas about what the problem is from their perspective. Then, ask each member of the family to tell what it is they want, what are they not getting, that they need. Then, we create solutions together. We unravel dysfunctional dynamics and put the "fun" back into the family!

Family therapy is a great tool for strengthening your family unit. We are all individuals that bring something unique to the table, but often, our unique temperaments and personalities create disagreements and conflict with those who we live with and share our lives with. Family therapy allows for everyone to be heard so that boiling problems can be brought to the surface and solutions that work best for the whole family can be discovered.
