What do we do in a family therapy?
The first session, I meet with the entire family unit for 75 minutes to hear your reasons for beginning therapy together. My role is to hold a safe space for uncomfortable conversations. As your therapist, I do not take sides. Each person will have the space and time to express their concerns and feel their emotions.
If everyone is in agreement, I may meet individually with family members. Each family member receives the same number of individual sessions and what is shared in an individual session is openly discussed in joint sessions. I suggest that each family member find an individual therapist. I am happy to provide referrals.
