Dyadic Family Therapy
Dyadic Family Therapy is a specialized therapeutic service designed for two family members 18+ who are willing to try to dialogue with my support and guidance and agree to new healthy boundaries and mutual understanding. Sessions provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where both of you can express difficult thoughts and feelings safely. This is a unique experience that honors each of your individual perspectives and invites deep presence in the room.
Stages of Dyadic Family Therapy:
-
​​​​​Establish a foundation of safety Acknowledging the goals and needs for therapy according to each family member and establishing ground rules
-
Unpacking the challenges Taking it slowly, we review the sore topics and ways both members have felt affected
-
Repair and reconnection With deeper understanding comes the opportunity for meaningful repair. Validating each other’s experiences, making amends, and creating new patterns of connection
-
Integration and Moving Forward Workshopping and practicing ideas to navigate future challenges together with more compassion
