Who We Help

We provide support for families at every stage, including:

• Parents struggling with child or teen behavior.
• Families experiencing life transitions (divorce, relocation and diverse familial
  challenges).

Focus on relationships:

In family therapy we examine the diversity of familial interactions and dynamics among both the nuclear and extended family members in efforts to identify patterns that contribute to both problems and successes.

Improved communication:

We consider communication among family members to be a critical component in building healthy family relationships. We posit that identifying the root causes for communication challenges and/or breakdowns represent a pivotal asset to developing better communication skills. This is achieved through a clinical familial discovery process, thereby facilitating optimal therapeutic and coaching strategies to resolve current and long-lasting conflicts.

Conflict resolution:

In family therapy we seek to develop a safe environment for families to effectively work through their disagreements, while coaching family members how best to develop healthy and consistent coping mechanisms.

Addressing mental health concerns:

It can be helpful for families dealing with diverse individual and marital mental health conditions to seek professional help in efforts to assess whether there is a prevalence of mental health issues that may be contributing to some of their family discord issues

Tailored approaches:

Family therapy is often a highly contextual therapeutic process based on the diversity of issues that may be presented during the familial assessment process. It may encompass various approaches and techniques, depending on the specific needs of the unique family coupled with the uniqueness of their presenting circumstances.

Strengthened family bonds:

By improving communication and resolving conflicts, family therapy can lead to stronger, healthier and more satisfying familia relationships.

Whole-family approach:

Family therapy often involves all family members, recognizing that each individual’s behavior impacts the entire system. At LEAPS, diverse family therapy approaches are engaged to establish improvements in family restoration and improved family health.
