Couples and Family Therapy
Working with couples and families is an advanced technique that requires many hours of training. Dr. Shelley Dennis is the provider that treats couples and families at the current time. She has been trained by the most renowned experts in the field through direct instruction in classes held across the country.  This training, along with utilization of the tools offered with these techniques have given us successful outcomes with hundreds of couples and families. The most predominant methods we use with couples center around Drs. John and Julie Gottman's research and interventions, Dr. Susan Johnson's Emotion Focused Therapy for couples and Drs. Ellen Bader and Peter Pearson's developmental model of relationships. Internal Family Systems methods are used for family therapy as well as systemic and strategic approaches to improve family communication, dynamics and overall functioning.
