Family therapy

Families can care deeply for one another and still get caught in patterns that are painful or hard to change.

Understanding the concern

A place to begin

Family therapy offers a place to notice how people affect one another, especially when the same tensions keep returning. A change in one person's life can shift roles across the household: adolescence, separation, grief, or caregiving may bring new questions for everyone.

Anthony works with families and draws on a family-systems perspective already part of his published approach. Sessions can help people speak about what is happening while staying curious about the larger pattern, not assigning one person all the blame.

In therapy

Situations families bring

Conflict at home

Understand repeated arguments and the unmet needs or misunderstandings beneath them.

Parenting and growing independence

Discuss boundaries, expectations, and how the family adjusts as children and teens change.

Loss or major change

Find language for different responses to a shared event and for the support each person needs.

Anthony's approach

Looking at the whole system

Anthony's relational and attachment-based lens can help family members identify roles and reactions that once made sense but may no longer serve them. Person-centered listening and practical communication tools can support a more useful conversation.

Who attends and what the work focuses on should be decided with the family and clinician. The needs and privacy of children or teens require particular care when planning sessions.

Practical questions

Good to know

Does everyone in the family have to attend?

Not always. The appropriate participants depend on the concern and the agreed goals; ask how an initial meeting would be structured.

Can family work include a teen?

Anthony's published audience includes teens and families. The details of participation and privacy should be discussed before sessions begin.
