Family Coaching & Family Therapy
Contingency Reinforcement Approach Family Therapy (CRAFT) for Addictions in Cambridge, MA
why family coaching?
People have a hard time making changes and sustaining improvements because it isn’t just about them.
Families can be burned out by conflict, psychiatric symptoms, and addictions. Connection can be in tatters, with cycles of beseeching, withdrawal and rage. Falling into habits of nagging, cajoling, forcing, criticism and alienation.
Shifting out of these patterns can be so hard.
However, when families learn how, they can slow down, set healthy limits with love, empathize and encourage one another. Then, true healing and connection are possible.
how does Family coaching help?
We use Contingency Reinforcement Approach Family Training (CRAFT) as the cornerstone of our approach to help you learn:
Effective communication
Collaborative problem solving
Self-care
Healthy limit-setting
Positive encouragement of healthy goals.
Instead of making decisions based on fear, families can use what works.
We use particular therapies for particular problems. Everything at Psych Garden is individualized and based on careful assessment.
Depending on the issue and attachment style, we see people together or separately, and use a behavioral or emotional focus – using CRAFT or EFT as core modalities.
We see the family (or partner) as separate from the person at the center of concern, even if – or perhaps especially if – that person is disinterested in treatment for themselves.
We are fortunate to have Drew Welch RN, an expert in CRAFT and family therapy.
He is widely regarded and sought out by families for his careful attunement, kindness and skill.
