About
I am a therapist who works with you to focus on the tougher issues in life so that there are more days in your life that will feel easier. I don't see stress as a disordered response to trauma so much as it is your body and a natural reaction to the environment it lives in. This may sound simple in theory, but by addressing stress and pressure in life, together we can find ways to identify life's glimmers- those tiny sparks of joy that allow light into our days.
My name is Katrina and I am a Trauma Recovery Therapist. I have a background in post-traumatic stress, trauma recovery, behavioral change, and family dynamics. If you are someone who can identify your desire to take steps—no matter their size—toward change, or if you're simply looking for answers about why you feel the way you do regarding life's challenges, we could be a good fit. I have worked with survivors of sexual trauma and domestic violence, and I have experience with those who have experienced incarceration. I am empathetic, optimistic, realistic, and challenge-driven. My goal in therapy is to help you realize your goals.
An open and honest dynamic is important to me. I'm not intimidated by emotions and I'm willing to challenge unhelpful beliefs. Stress, depression, anxiety, compulsion, and trauma are treatable conditions given the right space, time, and resources. When you make time to care for yourself, you're taking a step that deserves recognition—it is a leap forward.
I commend you on considering a change in your life. I encourage you to ask questions and find answers that you are comfortable with. Let's sit down together and make a plan for the next part of your great adventure- leave everything on the table, whatever led you this far, listen to that and take the next step.

A typical go-to approach for family therapy often emphasizes improving communication, reducing conflict, building empathy, and developing healthy boundaries. Family therapy can provide family members with hope, strength, and tools to reduce the stress that family members feel. Family therapy can also help identify family issues that have previously been ignored, minimized, or even unknown.
Family therapists can teach clients to actively listen, speak with 'I' statements, and practice feeling empathy. Such skills can help one another feel better understood and can help nurture raw emotions and existing injuries. Family members can learn how to self-soothe to prevent a conflict from escalating. Family therapy can help clients and their loved ones set realistic expectations and limitations and avoid ineffective ultimatums.
I know a client is making meaningful progress when conflict is reduced, family members feel respected and appreciated, and the love among family members is unconditional.
Clients can practice diaphragmatic breathing and read up on active listening skills. They can also begin to do shared activities as a family to increase the bond.
To prepare for their first family therapy session, an individual can think about the current strengths and weaknesses of their family system. they can also begin to look at their own contributions to the problem.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Tallahassee, FL usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Tallahassee, FL offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
