If you have a troubled child, a troubled self, troubled family dynamics, a troubled marriage and think that there’s no help for your predicament ,then therapy is for you!

A marriage and family therapist is trained on dealing with all of these issues and approach them from a systemic view rather than a linear view. You say, what does that mean?

The systemic perspective holds the assumptions that a) problems are caused and maintained in the system through unhelpful relational dynamics and ongoing interactions, and b) solutions are created and maintained by individuals within the system changing their communication and interactions with, and responses to other members of the system.

When your work is founded in circular causality, it reveals options for interpretation, intervention, and hope, for you the individual, the child, the couple and the family.
