Family Therapy

With thousands of hours of clinical experience working with families, Dr. Edwards brings extensive expertise to his family therapy practice, while also sharing his knowledge through seminars and teaching graduate students in this specialized field. His deep understanding of family systems and dynamics enriches both his clinical work and his educational contributions.

Ben approaches family therapy through an integrative lens, combining Bowenian, narrative, and experiential family therapy methods to help families navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships. His approach honors both the complexity of family systems and the unique stories each family brings to therapy.

Drawing from Bowenian theory, Ben helps families understand their emotional systems and patterns of intergenerational transmission. He guides family members in developing greater differentiation while maintaining meaningful connections, helping them balance individual growth with family cohesion. This work often includes exploring family histories and patterns across generations to illuminate current dynamics.

Ben incorporates narrative therapy techniques to help families externalize problems and author new, more empowering stories about their lives together. He assists families in identifying times when they've successfully overcome challenges, building on these experiences to create preferred ways of relating. This approach helps families recognize their strengths and resources while challenging limiting beliefs and patterns.
