Cultivate Harmony With
Family Therapy
through the Imago Lens
Maureen Brine’s family therapy sessions, guided by the Imago lens, aim to help families cultivate stronger, more connected relationships. Her approach focuses on understanding the intricate dynamics within the family unit, healing past emotional wounds, and fostering open, empathetic communication among members. By examining how individual experiences influence family interactions, she assists families in resolving conflicts, deepening their emotional bonds, and creating a nurturing environment for everyone involved.
In her sessions, families engage in structured discussions that promote active listening and empathy. Maureen encourages each member to express their feelings and perspectives in a safe space, facilitating understanding and validation. This process not only addresses current challenges but also strengthens the foundation for healthier interactions in the future.
Maureen immerses herself in the complexities of human connections every day. Whether working with families affected by addiction or addressing broader family dynamics, she recognizes that each family brings its unique struggles and strengths. Her goal is to help families navigate these intricacies.
She guides families to explore the roles each member plays within their unit. Often, these roles are deeply ingrained and can lead to patterns of behavior that either support or hinder healthy relationships. By shining a light on these dynamics, she helps families gain insight into how their interactions shape their experiences and emotional well-being.
Creating a safe space where open communication can flourish is central to Maureen’s practice. She believes that improved relationships start with understanding—understanding ourselves, our loved ones, and the ways we relate to one another. This understanding allows families to express their feelings, share their perspectives, and listen to each other without judgment.
For families impacted by addiction, Maureen focuses on the unique challenges they face. Addiction can create a cycle of dysfunction that affects trust, communication, and emotional support. By addressing these issues head-on, she helps families break free from harmful patterns and build a healthier foundation for recovery.
For families, Maureen customizes her approach to meet their unique needs. Whether they are dealing with conflicts, going through transitions, or aiming to strengthen their bonds, she offers insights and tools to foster healthier and more fulfilling family relationships.
Ultimately, she aims to empower families to create more fulfilling relationships. She wants them to leave her Imago-based sessions with renewed hope and the skills to navigate their challenges together. Witnessing families transform through this process is incredibly rewarding for her, as they find new ways to connect and support one another on their journey toward healing and growth.
