Alan Lehman, Ph.D., LCSW
In my clinical work, I am reminded over and over again of how our particular ways of relating to people (and situations) in our adult world is a byproduct of the ways in which we experienced our parents as children and teenagers. Working within the Structural Family Therapy model, I address conflicted family relationships by exploring and modifying the boundaries that exist between various family members, ultimately undoing dysfunctional relationships within the family and fostering healthier relationships.
I help parents neither be too enmeshed with nor overly disengaged from their children, promoting a healthy degree of autonomy and socialization.
Mark Sichel, BCD, ACSW
Family problems are becoming increasingly common in our society. I have a specialty in working with families who are contending with issues of estrangement and family rifts. I'm the author of "Healing From Family Rifts" and use the 10 step program in that book to guide my work with families. I also work with situations of substance abuse, child and teenage guidance, and coping with difficulties with adult children.
Daniel Minuchin, MA, LMFT
Family therapy has been my primary area of specialization for the past 25 years. Family therapy looks at the dysfunctional patterns in families that cause problems for people, but it also looks at the strengths that families have and the ways in which they can heal family members. For children and adolescents in particular, family work can be quicker and more powerful than other therapy, but it is also helpful in dealing with longstanding issues in families whose members are all adults, or helping siblings in conflict. It can help families deal with issues such as loss, illness, substance abuse or divorce. And work with couples has been shown to be highly effective in treating depression.
Nikki DiFranks, PhD, MA, MS, LCSW-R
I was trained in Minuchin Family Therapy with Jorge Colapinto during the 1980's at the Community Center for Mental Health in Dumont, New Jersey, where I worked with family members of the severely mentally ill population. I've been providing family and couples therapy since that time, either with individual families or in a multi-family group format. Structural Family Therapy identifies the maladaptive communication and behavioral patterns within the family structure. Sometimes changing just one dynamic among family members can increase adaptive functioning, communication, and relationships. My degrees are: MA in psychology, MS in clinical social work, and PhD in social work.
Phyllis Y. Sachs-Yasgur, LCSW-R, CLL
Every person is part of a larger system. The relationship between family members is based upon previous generational life patterns and coping mechanisms. When there is family discord, there is usually an imbalance. These issues tend to become exacerbated during crises or during life transitions. Phyllis provides family therapy to help examine each person's unique role in the family and relationship alliances., The goal is to help your family move toward a more unified, mutually respectful system that is equipped to meet life's challenges.
Edward Pino, M.S. NCC, LMHC
Ed has developed a unique approach to meeting client needs. This approach moves beyond the conventional session structure providing you, the client, a greater opportunity to utilize the tools and insight gained in session. Ed's goal for clients is to move through counseling in the most efficient way. This helps you to resolve issues and move forward to fully enjoy your life and purpose.
"Life must be Enjoyed, Not Endured
Walter Masterson, LMSW
Careers and children each place enormous stress on a couple’s ability to be together in an intimate and satisfying way. Every couple has different ways of dealing with the challenges, and counseling can provide the perspective and encouragement to re-create a shared vision for the future. For something as important as this, it is surprising how little training and preparation is provided; family therapy fills in the blanks, and resolves the confusion.
Priska Imberti, LCSW
We are part of something larger than ourselves and that is why we tend to encounter difficulties in dealing with simple things in life such as learning how to live together, raising children or coping with adolescence. In Family Therapy, as opposed to Individual Therapy, we explore, understand and address issues family members present at their source. Emotional origins of personal conflicts get exposed throughout roles and dynamics; part of my work with families include to question and re-frame them to mobilize stagnation and create room for new experiences.

Many emotional problems that appear concentrated within one individual often have an impact on other --or even all--members of the family. Working with either the entire family or with selected members can help to sort out the factors that contribute to the problem and hold it in place. Often making a change in one individual or in one aspect of interpersonal behavior can shift and re-structure the family dynamics. As a result, family members whose functioning has been seriously impaired may find themselves able to change their customary roles and thereby experience a new-found sense of autonomy.
Henry A Malone, Ph.D.
The family is the nurturing system in which every individual evolves and develops into a mature and complete person. The success of that process to a healthy maturity will depend on the quality of the interaction between the members of the family system. Recognizing, adjusting and correcting dysfunctional interaction patterns is the very efficient therapeutic process of family therapy. In family therapy systems treatment it is the interaction between the family members that is the problem and the focus of treatment rather than labeling and identifying the individual as such.

It is not very common for an entire family to seek help from psychotherapy. What often happens is that one person comes into therapy, begins to get help and invites a mother, father, or sibling to participate in sessions. And even if all family members aren't willing or able to participate, psychotherapy with me can help the entire family. As people begin making changes in therapy, they are more able to communicate their needs and take better care of themselves. And I often will do phone sessions so that all members can participate. It is more important for people to get the help they need rather than be in the same room with the therapist.

Families are like living organisms, made up of individual parts that work well (or not) together. I am able to see how the parts of your family work, and give you a relationship tune up. When I work with a family I create a safe environment for every family member, which means that no one gets blamed, singled out, favored, or sided against. I've helped resolve long standing parent-child and sibling conflicts people thought would never end. Having an ally help your family work together better is a gift that lasts for generations.

When there are difficulties in our family, they tend to also affect other areas of our lives. With everyone participating (or just the couple if that is the prime area of the situation), it is possible to move to better ways of working together as a family. When this is done, you will find that your family again becomes the rock on which everything is built, allowing you to experience a sense of wholeness and peace. Christopher will guide your family as you explore what is going on and though the journey to wholeness.

Each relationship is unique and needs an approach that specifically focuses on the emotional content inherent to that relationship experience. Therapy can supply the tools but the individuals must do the work themselves to create change that will transform that relationship into an experience with improved comunication and tender rather than adverserial exchanges
Paul Josephson, LCSW
I work with children, adolescents and adults, individually, in couple or with the entire family. Family relationships with parents, children and between siblings often form a model for all other relationships in our lives. Very often our family members can be our most important supporters, the people who understand us the most deeply and yet conflicts are common and negative relationship patterns are often repeated from generation to generation. I would enjoy helping you and your family to a better and healthier place where communication and positiveness predominates.

Sandra Lugo, LCSW-R,MS,DCSW
Family therapy is essential when working with members who have conflictual problems. Improving communication between family members and helping the parents along with the extended family understand how conflicts can be resolved through improved communication, often results in significant improvements in the family dynamics.
If there is one fundamental element in a child's life that improves their chances for success in school and life, it is strong family bonds with positive, constructive communication. The need for such a change is not an indictment of the parents' abilities, it is simply a part of the therapeutic process that will help family members better work with each other.
