Couples & Family Therapy

Couples therapy at the Danielsen Institute Clinic is intended to help clients resolve conflicts and/or to enrich the level of intimacy and understanding in their relationship. It assumes no particular outcome to the therapy but looks to a collaboration between clients and clinicians in setting goals and direction for treatment. An expectable outcome is that a couple will have more freedom and clarity to make informed decisions about what is best for their relationship with a minimum of distortion or self-perpetuating cycles of injury, psychological or physical.

Family therapy is also available at the Danielsen Institute Clinic and is often approached from a team perspective, with more than one clinician having therapeutic involvement with the family. Clinicians utilize family systems, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral theory and techniques to help families of multiple configurations stabilize after crisis, deescalate conflict and tension, and increase possibilities for individual members of the family to both grow as persons and stay connected to one another.
