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 dysregulated (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.

Aren't families interesting? A family is a system, so when one part breaks down, all the other parts are effected. If you are having difficulties with a family member, consider therapy. Sometimes you can change the whole system by changing yourself. Sometimes it's most helpful for two or more of the family to come in together. Give therapy a chance.

If Melanie agrees its appropriate, Melanie works with families according to their clinical needs as individuals as well as the family as a whole. Structural family therapy is used to strengthen certain relationships, say, between the siblings, in order to improve family life. Melanie is very sensitive to only discussing certain problems within certain levels of the family, so you can expect people to be shuffled in and out of the therapy room depending on what's discussed.

Our approach to family therapy engages each member of the family as part of the larger family system, with each person bringing strengths and contributions necessary to the family's success. We work in therapy to help each member of the family to recognize and value the contributions of other family members. The goal of family counseling is not to create perfect families, but ones that love and value each family member. We focus on enhancing family communication while discouraging disruptive, dysfunctional, or demeaning behaviors. We also help families to develop healthy boundaries to protect and preserve relationships in the family.
