Marriage and Family Therapists are trained in understanding family dynamics and family systems (it's what sets them apart from other professionals).  I do meet with teenagers and can help with parent-child interactions.  I usually do not meet with children under the age of 12 unless previously discussed in a phone consultation.

      Through a systemic way of looking at the problem, MFT's can help facilitate change in the family dynamics as a whole.  This enables individual family members to have more freedom to grow personally and together.
