Marriage & Family Therapy

Who Benefits

Families and married couples facing:

• Communication breakdowns and persistent conflicts
• Parenting challenges and differing child-rearing philosophies

• Intergenerational tension or unresolved family patterns
• Marital strain impacting the wider family system
• Desire to foster resilience, empathy, and unity

How We Guide You

Our holistic, family-centered approach ensures every member feels heard, respected, and empowered:

1. Family Systems Assessment
   Each family member shares perspectives through structured interviews and genogram mapping to reveal interaction patterns and strengths.
2. Collaborative Goal-Setting
   Together, you define clear objectives—improving communication circles, aligning parenting approaches, or healing past hurts.
3. Tailored Intervention Plan
   Sessions draw on Structural Family Therapy, Bowenian techniques, and narrative therapy to address roles, boundaries, and family stories.
4. Skill Development & Modeling
   We lead exercises in active listening, boundary-setting, and problem-solving, demonstrating tools that family members practice between sessions.
5. Ongoing Review & Adaptation
   Regular check-ins measure progress, celebrate changes, and adjust strategies to keep therapy aligned with your evolving family dynamics.

1. Opening Check-In:

2. Focused Exploration:
   Deep dive into the chosen topic—communication patterns, role conflicts, or emotional triggers.
3. Interactive Exercises:
   Guided activities like role swaps, boundary-setting drills, or collaborative problem maps.
4. Action Steps & Reflection:
   Assign personalized tasks—weekly family check-ins, emotion journals, or a shared ritual.
