Couples therapy usually focuses on the interaction between the partners. Hence, interactional communication is the primary means by which we slow things down to explore the negative patterns causing relational upset.
At times, our couples work also includes the work of individual therapy. Common presenting issues include sexuality, intimacy, communication, managing differences and parenting.

Family therapy occurs for many reasons. It could be that a child is acting out or another family member is confronting difficult issues. Family therapy can help your family make positive changes through resolving conflicts, accessing strengths and and forming closer, more intimate relationships.
Typically, family therapy is recommended when a particular member of the family is exhibiting a behavior problem. This behavioral issue is usually seen in children or teenagers, and is often referred to as the “identified patient” or “IP” Family therapists look at how the family’s interactions and relationships are helping to create and/or sustain the behavior of the IP and work toward change in the system. They then help your family make positive changes in these relationships, resolve conflicts and increase strengths.
Depending on the needs and presenting situation, family therapy may involve all members or subsystems (parts) within the family. Family therapy can be useful for integrating blended families, helping members through the divorce process, or when particular behavioral issues arise.

Our individual work tends toward a focus on an individual’s perspective of their relationship and the impact/affects on them personally.
Common issues we work with are anxiety, depression, grief, life transition/developmental phases. This work often includes an examination of family of origin since it is our first social environment and hence formative in the shaping of our personality.

At CCFH, we stay current with therapeutic research and evidence-based theories on what makes relationships work and what makes them not work. We incorporate that information into our own experience and approach for the benefit of our work with clients.
