PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR FAMILIES

Home is where the story begins, and where family legacies live on. There is no roadmap for the journey of parenthood, and whether you are parenting a child, teenager, or young adult there are many concrete and emotional challenges families face as they evolve.  Some of the common challenging problems families face: include anxiety, depression, addiction issues, behavioral problems, aging family members, and traumatic life course changes such as death and illness.

Using a family systems approach, Hope Kelaher Therapy believes that members of a family are only as healthy as the whole family unit, and that when one member of the family is suffering it has an impact on everyone within the family.  Using family systems and cognitive behavioral approaches, Hope Kelaher Therapy provides support and guidance to family members while broadening the family’s understanding of the issue, exploring replications of this issue in the family’s developmental history, and identifying and modifying problematic interactional patterns within the family system.

Hope Kelaher Therapy works to help families build empathy for those within their system and provide techniques and skills to manage ongoing challenges.
