Family Therapy in Bucks County, PA
My extensive history with patients dealing with eating disorders involves offering a variety of tools/modalities to enhance our work while also offering family guidance and support.
After working for over 42 years as a psychotherapist/psychoanalyst I welcome patients who are ready to do in depth work in psychotherapy and find lasting change. Psychoanalysis is an extraordinary opportunity to enrich your life, find the person you were meant to be, and experience the contentment and joy that you have been missing. Whether you are looking for marriage/couples counseling, dealing with personal issues or feel unsatisfied with brief therapy you've experienced, my patients find me to be warm, kind, insightful, accepting, and supportive. My group practice works with both adults and children. www.faulknertherapy.net

I have been working with individuals, couples, and families for over 15 years now and am trained in insight based family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, addiction/recovery, and trauma informed approaches (including strength-based, mindfulness, EMDR, DBT).
Whether you are an individual, a couple, or a family, whether it’s conflict in your current relationship, or you are looking to work on yourself, we'll be in this journey together. People describe me as being very safe and supportive - and with that, I have found that therapy benefits you the most when you are challenged to explore what you want and what's not working.

I also have had training in ecosystemic structural family therapy in which helps examine behavioral patterns in the home.
Research shows at least 1 in 5 people struggle with an anxiety disorder. Helping someone with anxiety or OCD has become a true passion of mine- or the "bread and butter" of my therapy skillset. I am a state licensed professional counselor drawn towards helping children and adults to be the best version of themselves. I primarily use a short term, problem solving approach also known as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but often use a "neapolitan" combination approach in working with people to tailor to their each individual needs.

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.
