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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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!
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.
Lucy Cotter, LMFT
As a Family Therapist, I specialize in facilitating conversations where voices can be heard and new understanding can be reached. Psychotherapy offers many opportunities for dialogue. My approach opens space for different experiences, perspectives and possibilities for the future. It is a chance to heal past hurts, deepen relationships and move forward with increased sharing and connection.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
