Family therapy services in 83634: Kuna, ID. Relationship and couples counseling.

I practice family therapy where a primary issue involves a family member who is a substance abuser. Many times treatment begins by meeting with the person in the family who is primarily involved with and effected by the abuser. Optionally, several family members are involved from the beginning. The ultimate goal is to provide treatment for both the family and the abuser utilizing gentle confrontation and empathy. Referral to a treatment program is always an option for someone who isn’t able to admit that substance use has turned into substance abuse.

I utilize Strategic family therapy, which examines family processes and functions, such as communication or problem-solving patterns, by evaluating family behavior outside the therapy session. Therapeutic techniques may include reframing or redefining a problem scenario or using paradoxical interventions—those that suggest the family take action that appears to be in opposition to their therapeutic goals in order to create the desired change. I believe that change can occur rapidly, without intensive analysis of the source of the problem
