Our family of origin affects who we are and who we become, both for the better and for worse. We learn our vocabulary, our habits, our customs and rituals, and how to view and observe the world around us. When we become parents ourselves, some of those patterns can stick, for better or worse.

Anyone seeking healthier, closer relationships with your child/children can benefit from therapy focused on parenting.

Common reasons for seeking parenting help:

• Divorce
• Parent-child conflict
• Problems between siblings
• Domestic violence
• The unexpected or traumatic loss of a family member

Some positive outcomes are:

• Strategies to develop and maintain boundaries
• Fostered sense of cohesion and communication among family members
• Promotes problem-solving through an understanding of family patterns and dynamics
• Builds empathy and understanding.
• Reduces family conflict

Studies show that family therapy is particularly important for families with members who struggle with substance abuse, eating disorders and other behavioral issues. When the whole family grows, each member is better off.
