“A family systems approach offers a different way of thinking about life’s challenges.  People report that thinking differently about their problems is helpful.”

Bobbie Paul, Ph.D., Marriage Family Therapist in San Diego

  A family systems therapist is interested in exploring life’s challenges within the context of family relationships. One goal in therapy is to identify the underlying dynamics in a relationship that result in an individual's automatic responses and heightened anxiety. The anxiety is then expressed in physical, emotional, or social symptoms.  The therapist’s own effort at maintaining objectivity and emotional neutrality offers the individual, family, or couple, the opportunity to explore thoughts and feelings and to recognize one's reciprocal contribution in any relationship. Understanding how one functions in a relationship allows options and the possibility that automatic responses can be decreased over time. Family Systems therapy is offered to those seeking short or longer term therapy.  Dr. Paul also provides personal Bowen coaching for those wishing to explore “unresolved emotional attachments” to one’s family of origin.

Dr. Paul is an AAMFT approved supervisor, offering reduced rates to trainees and interns for supervision or therapy. Insurance accepted.
