Family Therapy
The Institute for Children and Families believes in
intensive treatment offering a specialized interweaving of
treatment modalities to incorporate the entire family. This
delicate interweaving of services allows therapists and the
family to address the very core of the child's disorders,
allowing for more genuine relationships within the family.
The Institute for Children and Families does not believe in
treating only the symptoms related to anxiety, trauma and
attachment disorders. We do not believe in treating a child
in isolation from his or her family.
Couples Therapy
The Institute for Children and Families constantly
re-assesses a child's progress. Undoubtedly, this is
difficult and challenging work. Oftentimes we see couples
struggling to "keep it together" due to our children's
mastery of triangulation -- pitting one parent against the
other. We assist couples in finding a therapist at or
through another agency (who is well-versed in attachment and
trauma) to assist them in healing their own relationship so
they may be more empowered in affecting the healing of their
child.
Sibling Therapy
If you have other birth or adopted children in your home, it
is important to check with them. Remember, these disorders
are disruptive and can wreak havoc on siblings. We encourage
parents to bring siblings in to the Institute periodically
to assess their specific needs and appropriate
interventions. Parents Involved Network (PIN) offers sibling
groups several times each year. You can contact the
Institute for more information or log on to the PIN web site
at
www.pinofpa.org.
