Most mental health professionals and their clients recognize the necessity of treating mental and emotional problems within the context of the family system. Family involvement—including family psychoeducation, multifamily group therapy, and family therapy—have been consistently linked to better individual and family functioning. Research on couples therapy for depression indicates that couples therapy is the treatment of choice for couples in which there is both depression and couple distress. Family therapy outcomes for severe mental illness include improved well being, fewer medical illnesses, decreased medical care utilization, and increased self-efficacy.

NEW GROUPs Forming ~
Begin in September 2015
FULL - Call to inquire about future group offerings or openings as they become available.
Still room to accept individual clinicians for individual or paired supervision; see below.
These groups
are for clinicians that currently work with couples or families, work with individuals from a relationship perspective, and/or those who have an interest in family systems work. Sessions include
case supervision using a modified Reflecting Team approach. The Reflecting Team in supervision is modeled from the Contextual Family Therapy Reflecting Team work of Tom Andersen and Lynn Hoffman.
This modified format offers participants opportunities to learn fundamentals of family therapy principles, reflect on what they know, learn from each others’ cases, and develop alliance in group
process. These sessions also include relevant information on attachment, trauma, neuroscience and topics in Family Therapy from the works of Bowen, Minuchin, Satir, The Gottmans and others,
depending on the needs and interests of the group.
