Welcome from the Director

Hello!!! It certainly has been a LONG time since I have published an edition to our newsletter.  I am feeling much more energized and back in the groove after having spent some time out on maternity and the past year just juggling all the new changes. I thought there was no time better than now to share about our recent addition at CCMFT and also a relationship tip.

As of November 2011, I am excited to announce that Normajean Cefarelli has returned to our Manhattan office as a Marriage and Family Therapist.  Normajean has been with CCMFT since 2006 and had left the practice for a brief period of time and we are excited to have her back on our team.  She is currently accepting new clients and past clients are welcome to return.  Normajean will be available on Fridays in Manhattan (day and evening).  To see Normajean’s bio visit About Us at www.CouplesandFamilies.com. 

On a final note, our Anger Management Program continues to be a huge success for our clients and many folks are seeing great results from our 10-session structured program.  If you are struggling with anger in your relationship(s), whether you or the other person is angry, contact us and learn how we can be of support.  We provide individual, couple/marital, and family sessions. 

In health & happiness,


Cari

Healthy Relationship Tip

Have you ever thought about how you label relationships?  When I say this I am referring to your beliefs.  What are your beliefs about relationships?  If you could describe what relationships are using adjectives (i.e.; loving, fulfilling, hard, difficult, nurturing, etc...), what words would you use?  Make a list of at least 3 different adjectives by finishing this statement: 

Relationships are…

If you are someone that said relationships are” loving," you are probably in a relationship that is healthy or desire to be in one.  If you said that relationships are “difficult," you might be in a relationship that is not doing well or maybe your relationships keep ending badly.  Our beliefs play a big role in the decisions we make and the actions we take.  Looking at your beliefs, clarifying where they come from and whether they are serving you is a good way to start identifying where you might be limiting yourself from having the kind of relationships and life you desire. 

If you need more support around clarifying limiting beliefs and creating healthy relationships, contact us so we can assist.
