You talk a lot, but you can't hear each other anymore.
Frequent arguments, long silences, indirect digs, or conversations that always end at the same point.

Family Therapy in San Luis Potosí
The problem can feel like it belongs to one person. The story almost never does.
When a family gets stuck in conflict, it's easy to end up looking for who started it, who's right, or who should change. In family therapy we can look at something more useful: what's happening between you and what patterns are keeping the conflict alive.
This might sound like your house
It's not one fight. It's the pattern that keeps coming back.
The visible reason for the conflict can change, but many families end up repeating a similar dynamic over and over.
01
The arguments seem different, but they almost always end the same way.
02
Some people explode, others withdraw, and others try to keep the peace between everyone.
03
There are topics no one wants to touch because talking about them seems impossible without ending in conflict.
04
One family member seems to be carrying the problem, but what's happening is affecting everyone.
05
A separation, illness, move, loss, or new life stage threw off the family's balance.
06
There are constant disagreements about boundaries, parenting, money, responsibilities, or family decisions.
The systemic lens
A family isn't a collection of separate people.
Every member affects the others, even when they're not trying to.
From a systemic approach, I'm interested in understanding how you relate to each other: what happens before a conflict, how each person responds, and what happens after.
That makes it possible to stop thinking only in terms of "who is the problem" and start looking at the whole sequence.
Sometimes a behavior that feels frustrating makes sense once you see it within the dynamic it appeared in. Understanding it doesn't mean excusing it: it means having more information to be able to change it.
I'm not looking for the problem member. I'm trying to understand the relationship that's keeping the problem alive.
Reasons to come in
You don't have to wait until the family is at a breaking point.
Family therapy can be used both in moments of conflict and during major changes that require reorganizing how the family functions.
There's no agreement on how to respond.
Differences between caregivers, inconsistent boundaries, adolescence, or family decisions that turn into standoffs.
The family changed and hasn't found a new balance yet.
Separations, divorce, moves, new partners, children growing up, or major life changes.
Something happening to one person is affecting everyone.
An illness, a loss, emotional struggles, or an outside situation can shift the whole family dynamic.
Who takes part
The whole family doesn't necessarily have to come.
The family can be the focus of the work without every member being present at every session.
In the first conversation we can review who's involved, who's willing to take part, and which format makes the most sense for what you're going through.
The whole family
When it helps to hear several perspectives at once.
This can be useful when the conflict directly involves several family members.
Some members
Not everyone needs to be at every session.
Who's in the room can vary depending on the goal of the process.
One person
We can also start with whoever is willing to work.
We can explore how that person participates within the dynamic and what changes are within their reach.
Teenagers
We can decide whether the focus is the family or the individual.
When a teenager is at the center of the concern, we first assess which format is likely to work best.
How I work
Understand the dynamic before trying to fix it.
In the first session I want to understand what's going on, who's part of the situation, and how each person is experiencing it.
The versions can be different without one of them necessarily having to be "the true one." Each family member sees the dynamic from a different place.
We look for the sequences that repeat: who starts a conversation, how the other person responds, what a third person does, how the episode ends, and what makes it happen again.
From there we can work on new ways of responding, clearer boundaries, and conversations that used to feel impossible.
01
Listen to the different perspectives.
The goal isn't to decide right away who's right, but to understand how each person is experiencing the situation.
02
Make the pattern visible.
When a sequence can be seen clearly, it stops feeling inevitable.
03
Review roles and boundaries.
Some family roles were useful at another stage but can stop working as the family changes.
04
Practice other ways of relating.
Understanding matters, but we need to translate it into different conversations and different responses.
How we start
Three moments, not a formula.
Who's in the room and how often you come in adjust to the family and to why you're coming in.
-
01
We understand what brings you in
We listen to the different versions and clarify what each person expects from the process.
-
02
We identify the dynamic
We look at the communication patterns, the roles, and the sequences that keep the conflict active.
-
03
We try different ways
We work on concrete changes that can be carried out of the office and into everyday family life.
The goal
This isn't about turning you into a family that never argues.
We can work so disagreements don't always have to turn into the same battle.
01
Recognize the patterns that repeat and each member's part in them.
02
Have difficult conversations with less escalation, interruptions, or defensive silence.
03
Review boundaries, responsibilities, and family roles that aren't working anymore.
04
Understand better what each family member needs without turning those differences into a competition.
05
Build clearer ways to communicate disagreements, needs, and boundaries.
06
Adapt better to the transitions that inevitably change the family's structure.
If there's violence, threats, coercion, or fear at home
Tell me before booking a joint session. In those situations, it's important to assess safety first and decide which form of care makes the most sense.
Before you book
How the process can be organized
You don't have to decide on your own who should come to the first session.
You can message me and briefly tell me who's part of the situation and what's going on. From there we'll figure out how to start.
The frequency doesn't have to be set before we meet, either. We can establish it based on why you're coming in and who's taking part.

Frequently asked questions about family therapy
Does the whole family have to attend sessions?
Not necessarily. Depending on what's going on and the goal of the process, we can organize sessions with different family members. The first session also helps define who should take part.
What happens if one family member doesn't want to come?
That doesn't necessarily stop us from starting. We can explore the situation with the members who are willing to take part and, from there, decide how to organize the process without forcing anyone to attend.
Is family therapy only for families with serious problems?
No. It can also be used to work on communication, boundaries, differences in parenting, family changes, or major transitions, before the conflict grows.
How does confidentiality work when several people are involved?
At the start of the process, the rules for participation, confidentiality, and handling of information are explained and agreed on. If individual meetings are considered within the family process, how what's discussed in them will be handled is also clarified beforehand.
Do you work with families that have teenagers?
Yes. When there are teenagers, we can assess whether it makes more sense to work with the family, with some of its members, or through a process focused specifically on the teenager, depending on the situation.

How much does a family therapy session cost?
