Family Therapy at ICCD

The Integrated Center for Child Development (ICCD) is excited to announce the development of a Family Therapy program in their Canton office. This new program has been designed in response to the need to address the stresses facing families of children with special needs, and more broadly to attend to the various concerns our families have expressed in the course of our work with them.

Family therapy is used as a means to involve all members of a family in understanding and coping with the challenges facing it. It helps families to understand and improve the way that each member interacts and resolves conflicts with one another. Family roles, rules, and behavior patterns are also often explored as a way to identify issues that contribute to conflict or distress. Family strengths are identified as well, and used when establishing appropriate, productive goals for the family. It is a positive intervention that allows families to harness and strengthen existing resources while simultaneously helping each person work collaboratively toward solutions to various conflicts.

ICCD is now working with a Mental Health Counselor, Meghan Welsh M.S. Meghan has experience in family therapy, and has worked with children, adolescents, and families in various settings. Appointments are currently being scheduled in 45 minute sessions, with the number of sessions determined on an individual basis.

For more information about the new Family Therapy Program at ICCD or to schedule a session, call the ICCD new appointment line at 781-619-1580.
