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.

I provide family therapy in Gilbert, AZ. Due to the differences in personalities and communication styles, as well as the situational issues that arise throughout life, families can often experience conflict and chaos. My approach to family counseling is to increase and improve communication among all family members. My goal is to increase understanding among family members, as well as everyone’s ability to respect the uniqueness and value of each family member. I engage the family in communication activities and provide homework for between sessions. I assist families in processing through difficult events that may be causing tension and work to strengthen and improve relational functioning

We know that healing occurs in the family and that when you only work with one part of the family it is hard to create lasting change. One of the keys is to get everyone on board speaking the same language and communicating in ways that support each other and build on the strengths that are already existing in the family unit opposed to one person being the "problem".

Like married couples, there are times when families get stuck. There may need to be an intervention with a loved one who is out of control in some way, or just a need to have a safe place with a professional to be sure family members are heard and a consensus can be reached in regard to a difficult situation. When people can express their feelings and ideas, it helps everyone feel like a valued member of the family. With a safe place to be heard and express themselves, the family can often solve it's own problems.

The transition between junior high and high school, along with high school to college, are stressful times for teens due to the change in their identity.

There are many reasons why families reach out for help such as conflicts stemming from unresolved issues and problems with communication. In working with families, I help to create healthy boundaries, identify their hurts and model healthy ways of communicating with one another.

At the Mandel Center of AZ, Alyssa Mandel, LCSW approaches Family Therapy from a strengths-based perspective. Rather then focusing on all of the negative aspects of what is occurring in the family, we work on identifying and expanding the positive components in the family. We are always non-judgmental, fair and balanced in our work with the complex nature of Family Therapy. Our goal with families is to help every person involved feel as though they are valued and honored regardless of what issues they may be facing. And, assist the family in supporting each other by teaching them positive coping skills.

Family is where the heart is! It can also be where struggles within communication and understanding exist.
