CLIENTS
Children and Adolescents
Childhood and adolescence can be a difficult times – for all family members. Challenges around separation, physical changes, fitting in with peers, independence, school expectations, and dating can create anxieties, conflict and stress. Children and adolescents often benefit from a therapeutic relationship that helps them figure out how they feel and how to talk with parents or other adults. Parents benefit from advice and practical suggestions about how to relate to their kids in ways that promote a positive home life for everyone. Dr. Macht-Greenberg uses individual and family meetings to achieve improved communication and realistic problem-solving.
Adults
Life is full of pressures and demands. Career success is important for both personal growth and financial stability. Marriages and relationships need time and attention to remain healthy. Aging parents require special consideration. The loss of a loved one is devastating. These issues weigh on the daily lives of adults. Many people feel overwhelmed and uncertain of how to cope. Dr. Macht-Greenberg helps people address these situations with practical advice and recommendations.
Parents and Families
Enjoying a happy family life is important to all of us. These relationships provide the love and support we need to go out and engage the world in healthy and productive ways. When family life is positive, we feel grounded, connected and confident. When there are stressors or conflict, we may feel anxious or angry. Sometimes we say or do things that make matters worse and that we later regret. Dr. Macht-Greenberg helps families reduce conflict by developing new, practical skills for improving communication and cooperation.
