Family Counseling Services in East Providence, RI.

Family therapy will help you develop skills to deepen family connections & get through stressful times, whether some or all family members attend. Family therapy is designed to help you improve troubled relationships with your spouse, children, or other family members. Specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents & children, or the effects of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family, when addressed, can bring family members closer. It can be useful in any family situation that causes stress, grief, anger or conflict. It can help you and your family members understand one another better & bring you closer together. I welcome your inquiry.

My approach to family therapy includes understanding the many systems effecting the members of the family, exploring the roles and how they might change within the unit, and supporting the family in learning new ways to communicate and new ways to relate to one another. I examine and challenge the boundaries of the family, and help them figure out and challenge their typical patterns.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.
