Pre-Marital, Marital and Divorce Therapy

Most of us put less work into choosing a lifetime partner than we do in choosing a house or a car. Pre-marital counseling is a good way to examine and set priorities for your future together.

All marriages have their ups and downs. Addressing the problem as they occur is the most effective way to build a strong marriage. In times of crisis it is especially helpful to involve a neutral party such as a therapist to air your differences and develop solutions to your problems. You can compare this to going to your physician when you are sick.

Marriages that have come to a breaking point by one or both parties need emergency care. Dr. Nancy Bacher will provide you with a structured therapeutic experience which is time limited and participants must commit to the number of sessions recommended. All therapy will be conducted while learning communication techniques. This results in a high rate of success. Dr. Bacher defines success as saving the marriage or at the very least having the couple part more amicably. Therefore the couple will be able to effectively communicate with each other for the sake of the family in the future.

Child Play Therapy:

The beauty of childhood is the child’s resilient and adaptation to change. By allowing children to play out their conflicts, with the interpretation and modeling of a skilled therapist, children are genuinely able to make positive changes at a faster pace than adults.

In our treatment parents are always included in the process so that they may learn adaptive ways of dealing with their children during the therapy and will learn techniques to utilize when treatment is completed.

Adolescent Therapy:

Part of the development in adolescence is to break from parental figures and become independent. Adolescent boys and girls are becoming young men and women, these are difficult tasks and their attempts and accompanied by some erratic and extreme behaviors. Therefore, adolescents are a challenge to parents. Parents may ask themselves, is this my child. Parents need to hang on for the ride and realize that their role must change. Parents must stop trying to make decisions for their adolescents and instead need to listen, show interest and give limited feedback.

When parents notice behavior that is out of control or find something that they don’t know how to handle, psychotherapy should be thought of as an option. Parents routinely tell me that their teenagers won’t agree to come to therapy. I tell parents it is the one thing on which they must insist it’s the parent’s job to get the teenager to me and my job to deal with them. Parents have more power than they think and I discuss with the parents how to manage the task.

Group Therapy

Dr. Nancy Bacher & Associates offer groups which allow the individual in the group to gain feedback from others is a valuable learning experience. Group therapy is available for children, adolescents, parents, and individual. Please call the office to inquire about current groups being offered.
