Family Therapy

Together.

Family therapy can happen with family members in the room or not. Often, families are invited into therapy by one person’s symptoms – an eating disorder, an addiction, depression, OCD. I have learnt, over the years, that while it is convenient to treat just the one person with the troublesome symptom (The Identified Patient) it is far more effective that everybody in the family system moves forward with a mutual understanding of change and what that entails. In this process, I am the therapist of the family and its relationships. 

Sessions are 90 minutes long. I often meet with all members concerned in the first session. Following sessions might be individual or in dyads, depending on what is required. The process and next steps are always explained so that there is no confusion or worry for all concerned.

Cost - 200 $ / session
