"How could your family be a happier place for you?"
So begins a consultation with children and parents that forms the start of family therapy. Couples and family therapy works with the interaction between family members so that it changes for the better. One member of a couple or family may be depressed, alcoholic, or having school problems, and the parents or whole family "pitch in" to help that member improve. In so doing, the family takes on its own goals of change. The Coche Center has had a national reputation in couples work for over 15 years. The toughest of couples problems become everyday work for the clinical team, who share in the goal of helping couples thrive together. Couples travel from near and far to work on painful issues between them. "How would you like your relationship to be better?" Work takes the format of hourly sessions, or week long retreats, depending on the needs of the family and the situation to be solved. Couples begin with a 90,m minute consultation with a cliniican, often followed by psychological assessment for the couple itself. This solid foundation enables a treatment plan that might include an educational component, an individual component and a couples group component. No job is too big or too small when it comes to treating couples or families. It is a cornerstone of the work we have done since 1978. |
