Family Counseling
For the last 8 years, I was a family therapist that managed and supervised family services for non-profit agencies in NYC, Arizona and Miami. I taught an evidence-based family model, created by the University of Miami to treat adolescents with
-
Family conflict
-
Early substance-abuse
-
Negative interactive patterns
Treatment usually lasts between 8 to 16 sessions, providing the family with clear skills and tools to improve family relationships and connections.
