Let’s face it, family life can be a challenge—busy schedules, different personalities, blended families—it all adds to the mix and excitement of life. But no one needs too much excitement and at Sherry Maxwell and Associates we help everyone in the family have a voice and develop plans to live the family life desired. Family therapy tends to be a mediation process. We start by meeting individually with the family members to understand all sides and perspectives. We then bring everyone together to explore and discuss the issues, while making sure that all members of the family feel safe and heard. Check-ins down the road are often helpful to ensure that plans are followed through and that the family is continuing in a healthy direction.
