Be Seen & Heard Together

The family therapy services are part of a growing recognition around the importance of resolving conflicts in an interactive, participative setting, where you and your family members can be seen and heard in a safe, accepting space.

Recent statistics published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology showed that IFS therapy had a significantly positive impact on people who were suffering from depression, helping to reduce depression symptoms while also facilitating a healthier self-perception among therapy patients. At True North Psychotherapy, the emphasis is on helping parents and children establish common ground.

Remove Barriers To Connection

“Family therapy is designed to facilitate open discussion where children and parents can communicate honestly without fear of reprimand, from a place of love, honesty, and compassion,” explains Ariel. “When children and parents are encouraged to share their feelings, the process results in thriving children that feel loved and understood, while parents also learn what is developmentally expected at different ages, and can become more aware of problematic behavior or communication barriers that may be present.”

Family therapy sessions help parents to become aware of children’s struggles, attitudes, or behavior, while incorporating new modeling strategies that are based on love and compassion.

You and your loved ones can also collaborate regarding the importance of setting rules and structure at home, while also making sure that kids and adolescents have the space necessary to learn, grow, and develop on their own terms.

Process Trauma & Loss

IFS and other family therapy modalities can be particularly useful during times of divorce, loss, bereavement, grief, or other forms of trauma that may arise within your family dynamic.

Ariel describes her therapeutic methodology: “I plan a personalized treatment approach to help families reach their targeted goals,” she says. “Each plan may include components related to attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, mindfulness, psychodynamic/relational theories, and existential methodologies. Plans are always broken down into actionable steps and strategies that allow each client to create real-world connections and facilitated forward progress.”
