A breakdown in a family relationship is much more common than one might think.  When problems occur in the nuclear family, a lot of pain is experienced.  This pain may show up as sadness, anger, frustration, hostility, withdrawal, loneliness or disinterest for example.  Causes for family breakdowns are varied ranging from changes and transitions, breakdowns in communication, power struggles, rebellion, differences in opinions, poor communication, and outside influences to name a few.  Some of the work QPC psychologists do with families include;

·         Family Therapy

·         Parenting Skills across the age spans

·         Adolescent Adjustment issues

·         Separation & Divorce

·         Parenting plans

·         Step parenting/blended family issues

·         Communication training

·         Mediation

·         Grief and loss issues
