How We Work with Families

At Family Matters of Marin we often treat the whole family in one form or another. One struggling family member can affect the whole system. At times, it takes the whole family to shift and change to create new dynamics that are healthier for everyone. Sessions can include the entire family, including children, siblings, parents and grandparents, or just one or two individuals.
