Family therapy in Cedarhurst and the Five Towns

When a household gets caught in conflict, everyone may have a different explanation for what is wrong. Family therapy gives those perspectives room and helps the family work on what happens between people.

Dr. Benson Fox, PsyD, offers family therapy in Cedarhurst, serving Lawrence, Woodmere, Hewlett, Inwood, and nearby Long Island communities. Telehealth is available for participants located in New York.

Make difficult conversations more useful

The work can address recurring arguments, communication, expectations, roles, and boundaries. We identify how each person responds, what each needs others to understand, and which patterns the family wants to change.

Goals may include clearer responsibilities, less reactive communication, and a better way to discuss a transition or ongoing concern. We return to those goals and ask what is changing at home.

Who takes part?

The initial conversation clarifies the concern, which family members should participate, and whether family sessions fit the situation. We explain privacy and participation arrangements before the work begins. In some circumstances, individual or couples care may be more suitable.

Faith, values, and family life

For frum and Orthodox Jewish families, religious commitments, community expectations, and family responsibilities can be part of therapy. Each family member’s experience deserves attention. People of every faith and background are welcome.
