Modalities

Individual Therapy involves working with a single client on issues relevant to that person. The relationship with the therapist becomes a “holding environment” in which the person can make desired change.

Couples Therapy, in which two married or unmarried people seek help for their heterosexual or homosexual relationship, is provided from a systemic perspective in conjunction with other orientations. Couples present with a myriad of issues. Among the most common are communication, conflict resolution, finances, parenting and sexual difficulties.

Family Therapy represents an opportunity for members to examine strengths as well as problems within a family. Often one person in the family develops symptoms that are representative of the larger family group. Family therapy helps resolve individual and family concerns. Changing the “interactional dance” or patterns between and among family members is often necessary to reorganize and thus create a healthier family unit.

Group therapy, a time limited confidential experience, provides an opportunity for interested individuals to participate in a therapy group dealing with a particular topic, like adult children of alcoholics. Group participants not only experience support from other members but grow from the their own work as well as from observing the struggles and hearing the insights gained by others.
