Family support during these trying times is important to me. At my practice I make a supportive, trusting, empathic evironment, for famlies to explore layers of multi generational trauma, communication patterns, and dysfunction. These sessions can be virtual or in person in the Rochester NY area. I look forward to partnering with family systems to improve circumstances that are causing stress.

Keeping the family strong means that you have a strong support system around you. I work with the family to help members better understand the system that they have created, how it is functioning, and how it is serving them. The goal is to understand the system by assessing its strengths and weaknesses to better use it to support and sustain its members.

Are you having trouble managing your emotions due to family issues? Is this causing anxiety, depression, or stress despite talk therapy and self help methods? Stephanie Carletta, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, can help you through this difficult time with empathy and medical expertise. She can provide basic medication management for improved mental health, as well as functional integrative non-prescription OTC interventions to help improve your emotions when other interventions aren't addressing symptoms. Stephanie can also adjust your current medications and provide updated lab work.

Families are important. Family relationships almost always play an important role in an individual's ability to develop a strong self-esteem and engage in healthy relationships. So, family counseling is often a powerful tool for mending or restoring relationships to good health. Over time, most of us learn to interact a certain way with certain family members and continue to treat them in a certain way without taking into account life changes or more effective options. Family therapy can be a wonderful way to increase awareness of ineffective interactional styles and identify more respectful and compassionate approaches.

My background is in MST or multi systemic Family Therapy. I believe that in some cases, the family system can be very vital to the mental health and emotional well- being of each person in the family. Everything with family work depends on the goals of the people involved. I do sessions with individuals and families within the system to better support the family unit and work with all parties to assist in fostering a more positive relationship, or less dysfunctional relationship, to preserve the family system. I also do parent and teen counseling to better support the family dynamic in concert with parent work to support parents and teens in their goals
