Family Therapy
Mentalization-Based · Trauma-Informed · AMBIT-Informed · Systems-Oriented
Family therapy with Kyle is grounded in mentalization: the capacity to understand what is happening within ourselves and between one another, particularly when emotion, history, or conflict makes perspective harder to hold.
The work is designed for families caught in recurring patterns of escalation, misunderstanding, distance, or divided authority. Rather than locating the problem in one person, therapy examines how the family system responds under pressure and what is needed to restore clarity, trust, and more effective ways of relating.
What to Expect
Sessions are active, structured, and collaborative.
Kyle helps families slow down difficult interactions, identify where communication breaks down, and understand the emotions and assumptions shaping each person's response. The work focuses on creating more thoughtful dialogue, clearer boundaries, and a stronger capacity to remain connected without losing accountability.
Who This Is For
- Persistent conflict, disconnection, or communication breakdowns
- A child, adolescent, or adult whose difficulties affect the wider family
- Parents struggling to maintain a consistent and unified approach
- Families navigating separation, transition, loss, or changing roles
- Complex power dynamics, loyalty conflicts, or competing expectations
- Families involved with multiple clinicians, schools, or support systems
- Patterns that have not shifted through individual treatment alone
How Sessions Are Structured
Family therapy is tailored to the needs of the system.
Sessions may include the whole family, parents or caregivers, selected family members, or individual meetings when clinically appropriate. The structure is discussed openly and may evolve as the work develops.
Our Approach
Kyle's work draws on Mentalization-Based Treatment and AMBIT, an integrative mentalization-based model designed for complex systems and fragmented care.
The approach is person-centered, trauma-informed, and attentive to power, role expectations, culture, identity, and the ways different family members experience the same events. When several professionals are involved, Kyle can help clarify roles, strengthen communication, and create a more coherent direction for care.
The aim is not to eliminate disagreement. It is to help families think more clearly together, respond with greater intention, and interrupt patterns that repeatedly pull them apart.
