Today, the family unit is undergoing many changes. Still, for most of us it is remains the single most important part of our lives.

 

It is there that we first learned to be loved and to give love. The family is where we learned all of our most important Life skills: mutuality, interdependence, cooperation and, eventually, independence.   

 

The family is the most powerful stimulus for all human growth, both physical and psychological. Since families are a system, difficulties experienced by one member of the family will affect the rest, who will need to readjust and learn new ways of interacting with the one whose behavior is seen as problematic.

 

 In some cases, family member's behavior may be related to subtle or unexpressed tensions that exist “under the surface”. In that way, understanding one family member’s “acting out” may lead to the surfacing and resolution of problems, which will benefit the entire family. 

 

Our therapists are committed to working with your family as a whole unit in ways that will not only be beneficial for the family member experiencing difficulty, but for the entire family as well.
