Fayetteville, GA 30214
Are you frustrated by your child's behavior? Children communicate through behavior. Exploring the meaning of challenging behaviors can help identify obstacles that may be preventing a child from expressing and managing strong feelings, from developing meaningful/effective relationships, and from coping with stress. The clients I typically see are resilient and want things to improve. This can mean different things I am here to help you determine how best to make this happen. I see working with the family, as well as the child, as critically important.

I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral, individual, family systems, dialectical behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.
Step one is to close your eyes and take a deep breath. Fantasize for a moment about the greatest possible version of yourself. Is that ideal person confident? Is that person content? Do you see yourself as more energized and ambitious, or more calm and reflective? Are you more available for the people you care about, less likely to feel manipulated or used by those you trust? Step two is to ask yourself one simple question. Is the person in the mirror growing more like the person you envision, or further from who you want to be? My understanding of therapy has never been limited to treating the symptoms of a diagnosis, or crisis.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
