Maybe your teen is acting out, or a school-age child is suddenly experiencing unusual levels of anxiety; or maybe your spouse is having problems at work, and you and your partner are arguing constantly. Whatever the specific issue, your family feels out-of-sync, precarious, or reactive. Perhaps you know what the problem is, but can't quite figure out how to go about overcoming it. Therapy can help activate new coping mechanisms, give family members new tools, and provide skills to tackle potential future upheavals.
