Daniel Minuchin (he/him)

I have been a family therapist for close to 40 years. Much of my work has been working with families around child and adolescent issues, as well as providing family therapy supervision , consultation, and training.I am a structural family therapist, and an approved supervisor by the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy ( AAMFT). My work has covered the gamut of issues that bring children into therapy from behavior problems to suicidal ideation.

As a family therapist much of my work is with couples, both married and unmarried. I work with couples around identifying and changing dysfunctional patterns. Looking at how their different backgrounds lead to misunderstanding and conflict. Shifting the focus to developing more positive interactions. As well as dealing with specific issues such as infidelity and parenting differences

As a family therapist I have dealt with family conflict and marital conflict of varying intensity. That has included families where conflict has led to violence and families dealing with issues of substance abuse and of infidelity. My background has included a number of years working with and consulting to programs working with families referred by social service departments .

As a therapist I borrow from different approaches and in my work I blend them. I am trained in Structural and Strategic Family Therapy and in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, but I borrow ideas and techniques from Cognitive Therapy. Like most therapists, I use techniques of listening, reflecting, exploring history, and creating a relationship, that are grounded in Rogerian and Psychodynamic approaches.

I see more couples than individuals or families. My training is as a structural family therapist, but my work with couples has broadened from that. I focus less on the specific issues that people bring in and more on the dysfunctional patterns that they bring to their interactions. I also explore how their different family backgrounds have influenced them and lead to misunderstandings. And I try to help people to focus more on developing positive interactions.

I have 2 years post masters training in family therapy. I am an approved supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy ( AAMFT). I have been a practicing family therapist for over 30 years. Besides therapy, I have provided supervision, consultation, and training in working with families in various settings both here and abroad
