It is important to develop both a trusting and a comfortable relationship between you and your therapist as this is the essential predictor for success in the therapeutic process. I have practiced individual and family therapy for over seventeen years, giving me the chance to see how motivation and behavior changes can help alleviate stressful issues and problems. Family therapy can be very helpful with children and teens' risk factors through a strength-based relational model and with proven complimentary behavior change interventions. If I am doing my job well then you have a better chance of experiencing great benefits, which is why having regular feedback about the process can make a difference. I have had the honor of working with many family members over the years and hope that you'll call for a free thirty minute consultation.
