Family systems theories allows us to consider each family member not only as their own individual but how each also supports and functions within their originating family system and the various relational impacts that result. For example, Bowen Family Systems theory views the family as an emotional unit and uses systems thinking to describe the complex interactions in the unit. It is the nature of a family that its members are intensely connected emotionally. Our therapy process focuses on how people regulate emotions and express or send emotional signals to each other, helping build an understanding of “the interactional dance” between parents, parent-child or sibling dyads. Clients will have the opportunity to share, identify, experience, explore, understand, and transform the way they relate to one another so that both individual and system can function in harmony.
We can work with the entire family or sub-sets depending upon the presenting concern.
